NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Defentect Group, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: DFTC), a developer and provider of immediate
intelligent messaging applications and services, announced today
that the Company will participate in Exercise24 ("X24") on
September 24 & 25. X24 is a
collaborative disaster-training event facilitated by San Diego State University's Homeland Security
Master's Program and its Immersive Visualization Center ("Viz
Center"). Many of the components of X24 will be highlighted on the
Google Apps and Sites partnership of the Viz Center and the US Navy
at InRelief.org (http://www.inrelief.org), which was a significant
aid in disasters like Haiti, the
Mexicali earthquake, and the Gulf oil spill.
X24 will focus on testing advanced technologies with the goal of
improving the ability and velocity of communications between
military and civilian organizations during a disaster. The exercise
will play out through a multitude of scenarios including a
tsunamigenic event, oil spills and severe property destruction
resulting from several massive earthquakes in California. Participants will use the
showcased technologies to test reporting effectiveness and measure
the life saving abilities each technology provides.
Defentect has a long-standing relationship with the Viz Center
and will be taking part in the event by providing participants,
including government, state and commercial organizations, with its
robust and innovative smartphone application, DefenCall. The
application will be used to communicate information in real time
from participants to the field commanders and the X24 command
center.
DefenCall is available to smartphone users who wish to enhance
their personal security and safety. A touch of the alert
button will immediately communicate a user's GPS location and other
pertinent information to those who can be of immediate assistance.
The use of DefenCall during X24 will demonstrate the versatility of
Defentect's technology and allow many different organizations to
experience DefenCall's ability to communicate critical and timely
personal emergency and disaster information.
"We are proud to support InRelief.org and the X24 event,"
commented Jeff Knapp, President and
COO of Defentect Group. "We are constantly seeking new ways to
employ our technology, and are honored with the opportunity to
provide our application to X24 participants. This is an exceptional
opportunity to demonstrate DefenCall as an effective and versatile
application that can be used to enhance safety and security
significantly in many situations."
Prof. Eric Frost, Founder and
Director of the SDSU Viz Center, and Co-Director of the Homeland
Security Master's Degree Program (with Jeff
McIllwain) stated, "X24 is trying to assist our nation and
many other nations in disaster response with the cleverness and
affordability of these new technologies as they enable decision
makers to have massive input from the public to help bring
solutions to the community in times of extreme need."
