CLEVELAND (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --Critical Solutions Inc. (Pink Sheets:CSLI) , the designer
of renewable energy tower systems, reports that the Company's Titan and Mojo systems
are currently being utilized in military and emergency response exercises by the
West Virginia High Technology Consortium (WVHTC) Foundation. The exercises are being
conducted by RespondComm, an initiative of the WVHTC Foundation and a National Institute
of Justice-sponsored program.
RespondComm currently is utilizing two of the Company's rapidly-deployable tower
platforms with integrated non-traditional power solutions. Critical Solutions' towers
are being incorporated into the RespondComm framework to provide network extension
and to fill coverage gaps, as well as rapidly deployable platforms for emergency
network setup. RespondComm was designed to evaluate the emerging WiMAX wireless
broadband standards and to assess the applicability of these networks for law enforcement,
public safety, and emergency response communications.
According to Pat Gallagher, Critical Power Solutions International, Inc. President,
"Our mobile units are ideal for emergency responders. They offer communications
coverage and connectivity in circumstances where grid power and communication infrastructures
are not available or have been destroyed. Such circumstances arise from natural
disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and ice storms as well as during terrorist
attacks. We have the unique ability to provide a proven and reliable communications
platform that can be rapidly deployed and functional in minutes without reliance
on grid based power or fossil fuels."
The exercise demonstrates the system's capabilities in the context of a mock disaster
scenario. The demonstrations incorporate human-to-human communications, human-to-machine
communications, machine-to-machine communications and deployment of temporary communications
using collapsible towers. According to WVHTC these exercises have been a complete
success, with Critical Solutions' Titan and Mojo products offering a reliable and
efficient alternative to traditional powered communication towers.
Critical Solutions Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Critical Power Solutions
International, Inc., manufactures and sells a line of patent-pending, self-powered
trailer systems that can be rapidly deployed to power physical security and communication
requirements for areas where power is difficult to obtain, or where conventional
power means are too expensive to deploy. The company utilizes non-traditional power
sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen to provide efficient recovery, backup
and primary power systems. The Company's alternative energy trailer systems have
been chosen by a top defense contractor to secure a nuclear power plant, by the
Federal Bureau of Prisons for Emergency Response Teams, and to the Marines for emergency
communications. Please visit www.criticalsolutions.net.
