Enterprise customers of Alltel Wireless (NYSE: AT) now can store
emergency plans on their BlackBerry(R) devices from Research In
Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM) and access those plans during times of
crisis, thanks to Alltel's partnership with Wallace Wireless.
"Businesses and governments are increasingly conscious of the need
to keep disaster recovery and continuity of operations plans in the
hands of key decision-makers at all times," said Elisabeth Owen,

quickly and effectively during a crisis." The Wallace Incident
Communicator software was created specially for the BlackBerry
platform. It allows business and public safety officials to update
emergency response plans, create forms and check lists, view
images, monitor camera feeds, locate personnel and retain legally
mandated records. Alltel, America's largest wireless network,
provides BlackBerry service virtually everywhere voice service is

responders, government agencies, utilities, banks and school
systems have all benefited from the Wallace Incident Communicator,"
said Rob Moffat, Wallace Wireless president. "We're committed to
