PR Newswire (US)
HACKENSACK, New Jersey, January 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness
Technologies (NASDAQ:NSTC), a global provider of IT services and
solutions, today announced that it will launch a new enhanced
version of its AwareNess emergency management system at HomSec 2007
- the international homeland security show to be held on January
9-12, 2007 in Madrid, Spain. AwareNess addresses the needs of
emergency services during all kinds of incidents, including mass
casualty events, and provides support to medical, law enforcement
and fire-fighting services with full command and control
capabilities. It facilitates coordination and synchronization
between emergency services from different regions and agencies,
enabling effective incident management. The emergency center's team
locates the optimal resource (ambulance, squad car, etc.) according
to time-to-incident, incident severity, vehicle type, manpower
capabilities, equipment, etc., on a computerized map. The mobile
unit driver follows the optimal route to the emergency scene on his
in-vehicle computerized map. The new version, AwareNess 2.0,
improves the management of mass casualty events, including
automatic dispatching of emergency forces and automatic mission
status reports when the emergency force enters or leaves the radius
around the scene or the hospital. In addition, the new version
allows SMS messaging, management of SMS user groups through a
user-friendly interface, and tracking the status of SMS messages.
The new version enhances support for portable terminals and
personal digital assistants (PDAs), allowing emergency teams to
make optimal use of personal wireless devices in missions that
require the crew to dismount the vehicle. The system's recording
and debriefing capabilities have also been enhanced in the new
version. "The new version further optimizes the performance of
emergency teams during rescue operations and disaster management,"
said Michael Zinderman, President, Technologies & Systems Group
(TSG), Ness Technologies. "In an emergency, when every second is
critical, AwareNess empowers users to make the best decisions."
AwareNess provides emergency dispatchers with a real-time
situational awareness operational picture, based on continuous
updates of locations and event details by field units. The system
enables each unit to see its immediate surroundings on a
computerized map. AwareNess also provides advanced vehicle location
(AVL), decision support and computer aided dispatch (CAD). The
system is based on software developed by Ness and incorporates
in-vehicle computers, GPS positioning devices and cellular data
communications. Decision support modules provide real-time
recommendations for the best routes to destinations, best resources
to use for incident handling, best evacuation paths to hospitals,
best voice communication channels, and more. About Ness
