Aegex Intrinsically Safe Tablets Selected for Multi-Agency Disaster Training

ATLANTA, GA—(Marketwired - September 14, 2015) - Aegex Technologies’ intrinsically safe tablets are to be used by more than 400 first responders in a disaster preparedness training session held at the Guardian Centers in Perry, Ga., Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2015. Aegex tablets will enable disaster response teams, including the New York Fire Department’s All Hazard Incident Management Team, Georgia Search and Rescue, and a specialized United States Marine Corps unit, among others, to communicate and manage data in real-time during the training. Unlike traditional mobile devices, Aegex tablets are intrinsically safe, or incapable of igniting flammable materials that may be present in hazardous environments. Aegex will provide a full mobile-network-based disaster preparedness and response solution for the Guardian Centers training event. During the exercises, teams will use Aegex tablets for:

• Enhancing situational awareness with GIS-based data collection and transmission
• Improving incident response with first responder health monitoring
• Organizing real-time triage for dynamic care
• Managing hazardous material and safety plans

Aegex intrinsically safe tablets run Windows 10 and other customizable enterprise-grade applications. They are fully configurable for public safety teams and include embedded applications such as man-down emergency alert and personnel tracking. “When disaster strikes, the individuals who are called out to save our neighbors need tools that can empower the collaborative use of real-time information. This could make the difference between an incident and a catastrophe,” said Aegex CEO Thomas Ventulett. “With Aegex solutions, real-time connectivity for first responders means more accurate information, more efficient coordination, more assets recovered, and more lives saved.” Guardian Centers is an 830-acre disaster preparedness campus built to train first responders from different agencies to test their crisis response plans, teams and equipment during simulated emergency situations.
