RUSHVILLE, Ind., April 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omnicity Corp (OTCBB:OMCY) -- Yesterday, Omnicity, the Midwest's largest Broadband Service Provider, showcased the next generation of First Responder and Automatic Meter Infrastructure equipment to an enthusiastic crowd of municipality leaders. The Blackford County Economic Development group co-sponsored the event in Hartford City, Indiana. Omnicity presented their Municipal Mobile Broadband Model, including a financial model, that allows rural communities to have carrier grade fiber optic and a WiMax wireless network to receive data, voice and video services in a mobile environment.
Greg Jarman, Omnicity's COO, addressed the audience regarding the need for an IP based data network that enables mobile services and open communication between police, fire and other emergency services. "The need for interoperability between local, county, state and federal officials first got our attention in Oklahoma City in 1996 and again in New York City on September 11, 2001. Our system answers the call to deliver these services to even the smallest of the rural communities. We are even getting the attention of some larger cities as well with this model," added Jarman. Dr. Kamil Agi of K-A Wireless, Inc. demonstrated the ability to deliver a live video feed from emergency vehicles back to the dispatch center using the Omnicity network. The network also allows for video surveillance and video communication between vehicles to improve safety and security to the First Responder teams.
Additionally, Omnicity presented their Automatic Meter Infrastructure ("AMI") system, including a revenue generating program that monitors water flows and water usage into an automated billing system. The AMI system is combined into the overall IP based network allowing the municipality-owned water utility to remotely monitor their water supply and billing system. Blackford County Economic Director, Rob Cleveland added, "Omnicity offered something for every government entity, no matter its size or budget. The products, systems and solutions that were showcased here today not only have the ability to save money, but also to save lives. Omnicity's solutions will go a long way toward educating the public about new ways to use cutting-edge technology."
