SANTA BARBARA, Calif.-- Oct. 27, 2005-- Cites RMSG as Solving the Important Problem of Interoperability -- Which According to Secretary Chertoff was the Greatest Challenge in the New Orleans Response to Hurricane Katrina
Roaming Messenger (OTCBB:RMSG), the provider of a breakthrough mobile messaging platform, today reports that the company has been featured in a publication of nationally recognized homeland security strategist and theorist, W. David Stephenson. His articles on homeland security, new economic paradigms, and advanced technology have appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Journal of Homeland Security, The Boston Globe, MassHighTech, Profit, Collaboration, The Los Angeles Times, and Quality.
In this week's StephensonStrategies.com report, Mr. Stephenson singled out Roaming Messenger as "the killer app" for homeland security. Mr. Stephenson emphasizes the innovative use of technology, especially to leverage the billions of dollars of mobile communications technology, from cell phones to Wi-Fi laptops, that are already in individuals' hands.
Citing Roaming Messenger's smart messaging capability and interoperability across multiple devices and networks, Mr. Stephenson believes that Roaming Messenger's technology combines the necessary features and functions to make it the standard bearer for emergency communications in the post-Katrina world.
From his Monday, October 24, 2005 post: "It solves the most important problem, according to Secretary Chertoff, in the New Orleans response: lack of interoperability between the federal, state and local communications systems, and does so for not only various networks and carriers, but also for a variety of devices, including desktop and laptop computers, cell phones and PDAs."
He concludes his analysis of Roaming Messenger's breakthrough capabilities and market overtaking characteristics with this comment: "Roaming Messenger should play a critical role in overcoming interoperability problems. More important, by linking individuals via location-based, real-time information, it provides exactly the kind of flexible, ad hoc teambuilding required in chaotic natural disasters or terror attacks."
"Unfortunately, the world we live in has become increasingly more dangerous and we must use the best technology available to overcome and respond to these new threats," states Jon Lei, Roaming Messenger's CEO. "We are very excited about recent awards and industry coverage. Mr. Stephenson's unsolicited coverage of Roaming Messenger vindicates our unwavering vision that we have the right technology at the right time. We will be launching some very important initiatives and participating in some high profile industry demonstrations in the coming weeks."
