Business Wire
Semotus Solutions (AMEX:DLK), an innovative leader of software
solutions for enterprise mobility, today announced the company�s
wireless alerting solution, HipLinkXS, will be used by the County
of Stanislaus (California) for emergency notification to first
responders, the public, civic leaders, and area businesses of
events such as severe weather, natural and man-made disasters,
toxic or contagious events, or even terrorist threats. The County
of Stanislaus is using HipLinkXS� core technology as a wireless
messaging solution to coordinate first responders during or in
advance of critical events. HipLinkXS can send messages to any
wireless device by groups, and to entire departments or agencies
across the County based on possible event scenarios, to establish
real-time communication. Stanislaus County had a further
requirement that was essential for HipLinkXS to meet � mass
notification capabilities to the public using the ESRI GIS database
already deployed in the county. Semotus Solutions has partnered
with ESRI (www.esri.com) to integrate HipLinkXS with ESRI�s ArcIMS
software for this exact usage in the emergency response sector. By
creating an interface with the ArcIMS application and database of
geographical information, such as plot maps, property lot numbers,
and addresses, HipLinkXS is able to extract this data and match it
with corresponding phone numbers and then use tools in its voice
module to send messages to the public. Dispatchers can select from
pre-recorded messages, text to speech technology, or do a live
recording of a message to send to the public. �Coordinated
communication is the key to efficiently prepare for and respond to
emergency events at all levels. HipLinkXS provides us with a very
powerful tool for getting critical information out to effected
portions of our communities in a timely fashion. This timely
sharing of information can help us to mitigate the effects of a
critical incident or disaster and potentially save lives,� noted
Lt. Darrell Freitas of the Stanislaus County Office of Emergency
Services. �HipLinkXS is ideal for us because it�s a two-fold
solution. We can use it as a professional communication tool in all
of the agencies that may be involved in response to a disaster, and
we can use it to send mass notification to the public.� Semotus
President Pamela LaPine added, "Semotus is very proud of winning
the Stanislaus RFP. We've worked closely with the County's
Emergency Services department over the last several months, and are
impressed with this agency's clear dedication to protecting their
residents. This certainly drives the County's enthusiastic embrace
of advanced communication tools like HipLinkXS. We're very excited
about the core role HipLinkXS will play in Stanislaus' emergency
response strategies." HipLinkXS is a powerful, state-of-the-art
messaging solution that enables delivery of critical messages and
can fully integrate with any enterprise application. Built on
best-of-breed technology and incorporating advanced features,
HipLinkXS ensures message delivery across multiple devices and
through a variety of communication protocols. About Semotus
