SAN JOSE, Calif., April 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Semotus Solutions (AMEX:DLK), an innovative provider of software for mobile enterprise applications, today announced its HipLinkXS Wireless Notification software has been deployed at another environmental protection agency, this one in New York City. HipLinkXS is already used in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Semotus sees continued growth in this market as government agencies increasingly see the need to have access to wireless notification of critical events in their jurisdictions.
The EPA team that works in conjunction with New York City's Water and Sewer department will use HipLinkXS to quickly notify key EPA personnel on their wireless devices of events like broken or burst water pipes. Since harmful bacteria can quickly form as a result of malfunctioning water pipes, EPA's response teams need rapid notification of such events so they can work with NYC's Water Department to swiftly resolve any potential hazards.
"We are seeing an increased adoption this year by government agencies of wireless notification as an essential part of their emergency response plans," stated Pamela LaPine, Semotus Solutions Executive Vice President. "Our HipLinkXS technology can work as a stand-alone wireless messaging system that allows an agency to quickly communicate with their staff, or integrate with their third party applications that monitor key functions, and then serve as the automated "alert notification" component of those applications."
Ms. LaPine continued, "We're very pleased with the growth of HipLinkXS and its rapid recognition in government agencies as a powerful wireless communications solution that plays an important role in their recovery plans."
Other government, municipal, and county agencies that use HipLinkXS include Florida's Department of Environmental Protection, The United Nations, Turlock Irrigation District, City of Winter Park, City of Raleigh, LA County, and Kern County among many others.
HipLinkXS is a powerful, state-of-the-art messaging solution that enables delivery of critical messages to and from the field with the customer's choice of carriers and devices, and is designed to fully integrate with any enterprise application as the alert notification component. Users can send messages and request a response back from the receiver, with the ability to automatically trigger server processes based on the response from the field. www.hiplinkwireless.com.
