AtHoc to Exhibit Its Flagship Net-Centric Emergency Notification System at Microsoft Army Symposium

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - January 27, 2009) - AtHoc, Inc., the pioneer and leader in network-centric emergency notification systems, today announced the company has become a four star sponsor for Microsoft's Army Symposium that is taking place February 9-13, 2009 in Redmond, Wa. The event provides a valuable forum for Microsoft and its partners to demonstrate technologies that can benefit Army programs throughout the world.

AtHoc will demonstrate AtHoc IWSAlerts™ in its booth on the show floor. AtHoc provides the Department of Defense with mass notification solutions that unify multiple forms of alerting into a single solution. Through the AtHoc system, military facilities and entire commands can trigger alerts to computers, mobile devices, landline telephones, cell phones, sirens, public address systems, BlackBerry devices, digital displays, land mobile radios and any channel that can be triggered through an IP interface.

The AtHoc solution is already used to protect more than one million military personnel in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Joint Forces. Within the Army alone, AtHoc IWSAlerts is used to protect Camp Slayer, Fort Riley, Fort Lee, Presidio of Monterey, Headquarters Garrison Vicenza (Italy), Headquarters U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC), Rock Island Arsenal, and four Army Corps of Engineers' research and development centers across the country.

"The Microsoft Army Symposium will allow us to connect with Army personnel and explain why major commands throughout the military have decided to standardize their network-centric emergency alerting with AtHoc," said Colonel David W. Brown (Ret.), director of U.S. Army operations for AtHoc. "Not only do we simplify multi-channel alerting, we provide the ability to reach hundreds of thousands of people in less than two minutes. We also make it possible for military facilities to track responses to alerts to determine if personnel are okay, hurt, trapped, etc. AtHoc IWSAlerts can help Army facilities better protect personnel and property in response to all types of threats."

AtHoc is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and builds its solutions on top of the Microsoft platform.
