CCS News and Updates - Wednesday, March 31, 2010



It is nice to see Spring finally arrive. In Dallas we had record snowfalls this year and it definitely was one of the more memorable winters in years. As summer approaches so does the always pending threat of Hurricane Season. The official start date of Hurricane Season is June 1st and most forecasters are predicting an above average season with 7 storms predicted to make landfall. We all know that is not an exact science, but preparations are already under way.

Our relationship with one of our key resellers in Arizona continues to grow. Geocris (based out of the Phoenix area) has been very active demoing our MERC and MERC pCom emergency response trailers all over the State of Arizona. I was with them the 3rd week of March doing some demos in the Phoenix area. We expect some important announcements out of Arizona this year based upon their efforts.

CCS was recently awarded a project for one of our existing customers, the City of LaPorte, TX Police Department. As an extension of our upgrade and addition to the City's Mobile Command Center, we will be working with the City to install a wireless network that can provide network connectivity to their mobile command center as well as key locations throughout the City. Video surveillance cameras will also be installed as a part of this project to expand the City's monitoring of potential problems and to aide in shortening their response time to these incidents.

CCS has also been working with the City of Mesquite, TX Police Department to upgrade their MERC command center. The City had CCS replace their winch based mast system with a 40 foot pneumatic mast. This masts supports wireless network equipment as well as video surveillance cameras. This is another great example of a City being able to purchase a very nice mobile command center trailer without having to "break the bank". The City spent less than $100,000 on their entire solution and still has a very well equipped mobile communication package.

As always, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

Sincerely,

Gary Collins
