Public safety technology firm to provide “natural voice” dispatching and fire station alerting technology to 45 Palm Beach County fire stations; Locution Systems also will provide mobile radio dispatching

GOLDEN, Colo., March 1, 2005 – Locution Systems, Inc., a provider of new-generation, public safety dispatching and fire station alerting technology, today announced it has been commissioned to provide its fire station alerting system and automated, natural voice dispatching technology to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue serves the unincorporated county and 12 communities, including the cities of Cloud Lake, Glen Ridge, Haverhill, Jupiter, Juno Beach, Lake Clarke Shores, Lake Park, Lantana, Manalapan, Royal Palm Beach, South Palm Beach and Wellington. CADVoice®, Locution Systems’ flagship dispatching/fire station alerting product, will be used in the 911 communications center and 45 fire stations throughout Palm Beach County’s Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue and Pahokee Fire Department network. In addition, Locution Systems will provide natural voice mobile radio dispatching to 20 mobile units in Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach County.

The Locution Systems CADVoice® product serves public safety departments in three key ways. First, CADVoice® speeds up the process of dispatching fire/EMS personnel to fires or medical emergencies.

Second, CADVoice® reduces the stress to fire and EMS personnel in fire stations through a series of “ramped” alerting tones vs. one, loud piercing tone. In addition, CADVoice® helps cash-strapped cities and counties hold the line on operational expenses for public safety departments by reducing dispatcher stress and turnover, thus reducing training and recruiting expenses.

Locution Systems’ automated dispatching/fire station alerting product is being used in cities and counties of varying sizes, throughout the nation – ranging from Visalia, Calif. to Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin and Las Vegas.
