New Energy Technologies Starter Kit Delivers More than One Square
Mile Coverage in Under an Hour Featuring BelAir Networks Mobile
Broadband Infrastructure
Chicago, IL -- Natural and human-made emergencies and disasters
necessitate immediate communications across public safety agencies and
between first responders. An innovative wireless communications solution
now brings connectivity, interoperability, and reliability to emergency
workers and public safety officers in the field. New Energy
Technologies, a leading provider of instant in-field communications for
government and municipalities, announced today the wireless NETwrkx™
Starter Kit, a turnkey mobile wireless public safety interoperable
communications platform that operates in a temporary environment or as a
permanent installation. The rapidly deployable package supports
internet, VoIP, video and data communications using BelAir Networks
carrier grade wireless broadband technology. |

The Starter
Kit delivers fast interoperable communications, ease-of-use, and the
ruggedized equipment required by public safety agencies to build a
high-speed wireless network covering more than one square mile in less
than an hour. The Kit includes four BelAir Networks wireless mesh nodes,
mounting tripods, generators, a server, wireless video cameras, a
wireless phone bridge and a CDMA or GPRS cellular modem, and associated
equipment required to support video conferencing and surveillance, voice
services, data and high-speed internet connections.
“We designed this Starter Kit for agencies looking to achieve instant
interoperable communications and visibility in disaster and emergency
situations. The Kit can be deployed in under an hour to provide video,
high-speed Internet access and interoperable voice communications across
any area in need,” said Dave Kimberling, CTO of New Energy Technologies.
“We chose the industry leader in wireless mesh, BelAir Networks, because
their equipment’s reliability has been proven after years of use in all
terrains and environments for a wide range of military and civilian
public safety organizations.”
In times of crisis, concurrent voice, video and data communications,
necessitating a high-performance, interoperable network, may be required
to support personnel from multiple jurisdictions and agencies. The
NETwrkx™ Starter Kit can manage and assign multiple levels of QoS across
all users and applications enabling the prioritization of critical voice
and video traffic. The Kit supports Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 4.9 GHz Public Safety,
5.9 GHz ITS, 4.4 GHz Military bands or any combination of these
frequencies on a single network.
New Energy Technologies studied emergency applications and communication
networks for over a year before launching the Kit, speaking with
officials who have had experience in providing instant in-field
communications for disaster recovery, including officials in the Gulf
Coast and southeastern United States. From this extensive research, New
Energy Technologies developed three different bundled offerings to meet
the various goals of these organizations, including the new NETwrkx™
Starter Kit.
The NETwrkx™ Starter Kit is the ideal solution for cities and government
agencies looking to offer instant wireless communications during such
disasters as fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, snow storms,
avalanches, infrastructure failure such as bridge or building collapse,
as well as non-disaster uses such as local events, security surrounding
a sporting event, high crime areas, and other applications for
industrial, commercial or hospitality networks. For more information on
the NETwrkx™ Starter Kit, including a full listing of components and
pricing, please contact: les@newenergywifi.com.
“New Energy Technologies has put together a comprehensive and integrated
kit to deliver the fastest, most reliable wireless communications in
support of emergency and disaster recovery efforts,” said Dave Park, VP
of Product Marketing for BelAir Networks. “We’re proud that our
technology has been proven successful in supporting hard working and
dedicated emergency workers and first responders with the highest
quality communication networks.”
BelAir Networks VP, Dave Park, will be hosting a
live webcast: “Emergency/Disaster Management: Interoperable Voice, Video
and Data Communications Networks” with guest speaker, David Kimberling,
CTO, New Energy Technologies, on Tuesday, March 25 at 2:00 pm EST, and
