OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 16, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- BlueBear Network International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BLBR) today announced that it has established an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Emmanuel Cablecom, Ltd., Trinidad, W.I. to distribute and support its products in Trinidad and Tobago.
Emmanuel Cablecom has exclusive rights to represent BlueBear's entire product line including its Integrated Digital Law Enforcement (IDLE) and the underlying BlueBear Network technology to Courts, Law Enforcement and other agencies that require state of the art face recognition and distributed search technology in Trinidad and Tobago.
Mr. Andrew Brewin, President and CEO of BlueBear said, "We are really excited about the prospects for Emmanuel Cablecom and our products in the Caribbean. They bring to our team strong credentials in networking, security and linking the islands through secure satellite implementation and have excellent knowledge of the local market. The BlueBear Network's use of standard internet connections is ideal for this market and is an excellent addition to Emmanuel Telecom's networking solutions."
Emmanuel Cablecom Managing Director Don Guzman along with Technical Director Winston Simon were both attracted to BlueBear Network because of its high profile within the Homeland Security Industry. Mr. Guzman said, "The company will integrate the BlueBear system and IDLE in designing networks for clients in high risk security areas. The technology can even be applied in the International Ship and Port Security Facility (ISPS Code) and the Global Maritime Safety and Distress System (GMDSS).In global ports and on board sea going vessels, verification of a person's identity can reduce the instances of false alerts."
In return for getting exclusive access to Trinidad and Tobago, the deal calls for purchase of product and training from BlueBear. Mr. Brewin adds, "Emmanuel Cablecom will be our eyes, ears and hands in Trinidad and Tobago, and with this deal comes the potential for an even stronger partnership throughout the Caribbean."
