WINNIPEG, MB--(Marketwired - November 10, 2015) - Librestream Technologies announced today it has joined the EDGE® Innovation Network, a collaborative, open-environment initiative enabling industry and academia, with government input, to work together to enhance the delivery cycle of new technologies and innovative capabilities to military personnel, law enforcement and first responders.
"We have seen growing demand within the military and public sector for tools that bring the eyes and ears of subject matter experts into the field virtually.

"By joining the EDGE program, we can provide additional value to our customers with integrated video collaboration solutions designed specifically for the military."
Pete Palmer, director of the EDGE Innovation Network said, "The global network of EDGE Innovation Centers offer an ecosystem for the rapid development of technologies, products and systems that close capability gaps for government end users."
