Catcher Holdings Prototype Device Successfully Demonstrated by ARINC at ASIS Trade Show
HAMILTON, Va., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Catcher Holdings, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: CTHH) , developer of CATCHER(TM), a portable, rugged, wireless, hand-held command control device built to military specifications, today announced that ARINC Inc. (http://www.arinc.com/) - the $734 million, ISO 9001:2000 certified leading provider of transportation communications and systems engineering solutions - successfully demonstrated a prototype unit of its CATCHER(TM) product on September 12 - 14 at the ASIS International 2005 Exhibition in Orlando, Florida.
The 51st Annual Exhibition is hosted by ASIS International on behalf of its 33,000+ global membership to showcase security technology and professional development.
During the trade show, ARINC's Advanced Information Management (AIM(R)) platform was successfully demonstrated on the CATCHER(TM) prototype field unit, and through live demonstrations, enabled the device to wirelessly control security cameras and display specific passenger and operations information remotely from the Long Beach Airport (LGB). The AIM platform was designed to integrate seamlessly with all of today's COTS (commercial off-the- shelf) security technologies and deliver a broad spectrum of quality information to the security professional.
Describing the CATCHER(TM), Rich Bredeson, ARINC Senior Director, Government and Commercial Security Marketing, stated, "This rugged, portable, handheld computing, communications, and telemetry control device provides field personnel and first responders with superior, uniform access to mission- critical information. This information can be in the form of wireless or wired, real-time, bi-directional voice, video, text, telemetry, GPS, and biometrics-including fingerprint and iris scanning used for positive identification. Combine the Catcher's onboard functionality with the AIM security package and you have key access to significant security and operations information anytime, anywhere."
Charles Sander, Chief Executive Officer and President of Catcher, Inc., commented, "We are pleased with the positive response from the ASIS show, where we successfully demonstrated the robust capabilities of the CATCHER(TM), including the ability to capture and transmit voice, data, biometrics, video and photos wirelessly. Feedback from the conference attendees validated our belief that security professionals are searching for core technologies to improve their performance and response times in the field, and we believe that the CATCHER(TM) will offer a significant advantage as a handheld mobile device capable of integrating with existing technologies to obtain mission critical information while simultaneously delivering that information to the appropriate field representative in real time. Initial response from the attendees was very favorable and we look forward to quickly moving ahead with new agreements and partnering opportunities."
