Consumer Version of AGIS Software Has Just Been Introduced

JUPITER, Fla., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Ground Information Systems' (AGIS) many-to-many mobile communication software -- now in use by the U.S. Navy's Coastal Warfare Squadron (N.C.W.S.) to protect shipping, naval bases, and harbors worldwide -- is now available for the first time to the general public as a breakthrough Location Based Services (LBS) software product.
Specialist First-Class Petty Officer Harry Colbert (pictured) -- part of an elite U.S. Navy-Marine Corps team -- uses AGIS mobile collaboration software in New York City during 2007 Fleet Week festivities. He is communicating with his NCWS team using AGIS software on a Microsoft-compatible PDA from alongside his command center aboard the USS WASP (LHD-1). USS WASP is the lead ship of an all-new class of multipurpose Navy-Marine Corps amphibious assault ships.
AGIS systems automatically create a communications network that provides all users a Common Operational Picture (COP). All network participants see each other's location and can call, and send alerts, text, photographs and even video by simply touching the display. All functions are accomplished within the same application program. AGIS creates the PC and PDA network using cellular, WiFi mesh networks or land line or a combination of these communications.
Patented Touch2Call(R) lets AGIS users call or conference others by simply touching screen displayed GPS location symbols the other participants on the display, without minimizing or exiting to a call function.
