ASX Announcement
ETHERSTACK PLC
[ASX:ESK]
("Etherstack" or the "Company")
NSW STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE TACTICAL RADIO NETWORK AWARD
Etherstack plc is pleased to advise that its Australian subsidiary (Auria Wireless Pty Ltd) has been awarded its first contract with the New South Wales State Emergency Service (SES) to provide tactical radio communications network equipment.
Based on the Company’s new tactical repeater product, the SFFR-6 Small Form Factor Repeater (aka the “Go Box”), the multiple unit award, while modest is size (~A$100k), represents the first contract with the NSW SES and the Company has numerous other bids currently under consideration with other government organisations in Australia and North America for the same product line which is already in use with Australian and international policing organisations. The Company is pleased with the market acceptance and growing pipeline for this new product line.
The award is Etherstack’s third Australian government order in the past 6 months. “It is great to be able to support the State Emergency Service in their demanding job of keeping the NSW public safe in times of crisis”, said Auria’s General Manager, Mr Paul Ludvik. He continued, “The Go Box is clearly being recognised by emergency services and policing organisations as ‘best in class’, allowing ad-hoc communication networks to be established in disaster areas and networked via 3G/4G and satellite linked back to emergency communications command and control centres.”
The SFFR-6 Tactical Repeater is a small, self-powered portable communications network in a package about the same size as a lunch box than can be deployed rapidly in an event allowing public safety agencies to communicate with their digital radios via the tactical repeater back to command and control located anywhere in the world.
The Company expects further awards from Australian and North American government agencies in the near term. Etherstack’s existing customers for digital radio communication equipment includes Australian, US and Canadian federal policing organisations.
