AGIS

The key Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc. (AGIS) personnel have worked together in the past creating military communications systems that provided data interoperability between dissimilar systems. When 9/11 took place, we started to discuss the issue and realized that many lives were lost as a result of lack of communications. Since almost everyone has cell phones, we thought that there might be a way to use them to provide First Responders and others the voice and data communications necessary to effectively accomplish their missions. We realized that because of their CPU and display, PDA cell phones had reached an inflection point where the hardware and the built-in software could be enhanced to provide the communications capabilities needed for effective real time mobile collaboration. Fortunately, after about three years of development, we made it happen and now have location, status reporting, and instant communications software that enables First Responders, military, and government agencies to use cell phones for mobile voice and data collaboration.
