U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency Successfully Deploys AtHoc IWSAlerts for Emergency Notification at Agency Headquarters

BURLINGAME, CA--(Marketwire - June 4, 2008) - AtHoc, Inc., the pioneer and leader in network-centric emergency notification systems, today announced the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Agency has selected and deployed AtHoc IWSAlerts™ to alert all personnel at agency headquarters of emergencies and critical situations.

The Air Force ISR Agency, formerly known as the Air Intelligence Agency, has deployed AtHoc IWSAlerts at its headquarters at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas to reach all 2,500 agency personnel located on base. The rollout has three separate deployments to support the different networks used by Air Force ISR Agency personnel, specifically the Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET), the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication System (JWICS), and later in the year, the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET).

"The Air Force ISR Agency deployment is very exciting because the agency will be using our system for intelligence-based alerting as well as emergency notification and response tracking," said Andy Anderson, vice president of defense sector operations for AtHoc.

Since the Air Force ISR Agency is a tenant unit on Lackland Air Force base, an Air Education and Training Command (AETC) base, they will also be able to leverage AETC's command-wide AtHoc implementation. Once the AETC implementation is completed this summer, Air Force ISR Agency personnel will also be able to receive alerts from the local base command post, such as severe weather conditions. Air Force ISR operators can publish alerts related to their intelligence missions across all their internal networks and keep combatant commanders updated with relevant information. These alerts will involve different levels of classification and will be disseminated to personnel with the appropriate security clearance.

AtHoc IWSAlerts have been successfully deployed over NIPRNET, allowing the Air Force ISR Agency to communicate non-classified information to agency personnel on base. It has also been deployed over the JWICS system, which is a system of interconnected networks used by the Department of Defense and the Department of State to transmit classified information. Both NIPRNET and JWICS deployments of AtHoc IWSAlerts are integrated and synchronized with the Air Force ISR Agency's Active Directory system to ensure personnel contact lists and groups are accurate and up to date when alerting is required. The deployment over SIPRNET is expected to be completed soon.

Air Force ISR is one of several DoD agencies now using AtHoc's solutions for intelligence-related alerting. STRATCOM has been using AtHoc solutions for over three years to alert war fighters at the Global Operations Center (GOC) of intelligence events related to their specific needs.
