LAKE HAVASU CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT GOES WIRELESS
KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON --- April 14, 1999 --- Electronic Systems Technology
Inc. (EST) (OTC: ELST), a manufacturer of wireless communications hardware,
announced the Police Department of Lake Havasu City, became the first public
safety agency in Arizona to establish a private Radio Area Network (RAN),
using the new ESTeem(tm) Mobile Data Computer (MDC) system. The Lake Havasu
City MDC system currently serves 10 patrol cars, operating over a 42 square
mile area, with the capability of future expansion for additional users, and
increased operating area.
The ESTeem MDC system used by the Lake Havasu City Police Department, offers
public safety agencies an affordable mobile data network solution. The
ESTeem MDC system provides agencies an alternative to existing proprietary
data networks where agencies incur monthly service fees based on usage. The
ESTeem MDC system allows agencies to establish a private Radio Area Network
(RAN), free of monthly service fees, transmitting data at 19,200 bps,
utilizing the 450 to 470 MHz UHF business radio spectrum.
Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held Company since 1984, brings
vast experience to the public safety communications marketplace. The Company,
the first to develop the wireless modem and receive the United States and
Canadian patents for the technology, has established the ESTeem products as a
standard for both industrial control and government applications in over 2,000
networks worldwide.
By bringing the expertise of Electronic Systems Technology and the ESTeem MDC
system to the marketplace, a new dimension is added to wireless communications
solutions for public safety agencies.
