NEW ORLEANS and ESCONDIDO, Calif., Dec. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Proxity Digital Networks, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PDNW), Proxity's wholly owned subsidiary, On Alert Systems, Inc., has expanded its exclusive license with Traptec, Inc. to include the World Wide Eyes, LLC camera detection systems, www.worldwideeyes.com.
The On Alert-Traptec team has met with government representatives regarding Traptec's development of an Advanced Helmet Design ("AHD") sensor which, when developed, should provide our soldiers with the means to retaliate against sniper attacks. Traptec's system will utilize proven technology already tested with the Chula Vista, California Police department by using ultrasonic detection sensors employed in their Taggertrap(tm) system.
Traptec and On Alert plan to integrate other sensors, including audio, infrared, motion sensors, and others, which will be designed to pinpoint the exact location of an enemy's discharged weapon for immediate targeting. In addition to the GPS coordinates of the attacker, Traptec is working on the production of a remotely controlled system for in-field automated return fire from machine guns and other weapons. This system would combine surveillance technologies marketed by the On Alert-Traptec team under a global distributorship provided by World Wide Eyes, LLC.
"George Lerg, President & CEO of Traptec stated that the team's goal was to make any "back shooter" realize that when he pulls the trigger on his weapon, he will be killing himself. It is time to make the enemy realize he can no longer rely upon stealth to protect him from immediate and deadly retaliation."
"The expansion of the existing license agreement with the Worldwide Eyes System gives the On Alert-Traptec team a system that, when completed, empowers our armed forceswith a clear advantage over any opposition." Said Proxity CEO Billy Robinson.
About Traptec, Inc.
Traptec, Inc., www.traptec.com is developing systems that use acoustical and ultrasonic means to sense and evaluate activity, pertinent to law enforcement, security, and defense industries. These systems are specifically tailored to identify the acoustical and ultrasonic signatures of spray cans, firearm discharge, tire leaks, intrusion sounds, and voice-initiated alarms. Once identified, the system promptly reports event details to appropriate personnel through dynamic links to the Internet, Global Positioning Systems, pagers, cell phones, or other surveillance and communication equipment. The system may then interface with other security devices to arrest or impede the activity at issue. For example, if a firearm is discharged within a building, event details would be immediately communicated through a wireless relay to security personnel, while other surveillance equipment would be trained to record the event. At the option of authorized personnel, the system would be then prompted to secure all sensitive areas or means of escape. In the event of an unauthorized cockpit entry, other systems could be configured to transfer immediate and unilateral control to a remote facility or operator.
