FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 25, 2009 -- Ann Arbor, MI (September 25, 2009) – OnSite ERT™, a portable and rapidly deployable system used for tracking and monitoring emergency responders, announced today it has signed reseller agreements with US Identifications and Canadian-based Falken Secure Networks. The partnerships call for Falken Secure Networks and US Identifications to add OnSite ERT and OnSite Central to their portfolio of services offered and supported.

“Having partnerships with two companies that have such outstanding track records, both here in the United States and throughout Canada, is giving us the opportunity to get OnSite ERT and OnSite ERT Central into the hands of more and more emergency responders,” said Dennis Carmichael, president and founder of OnSite ERT. “We are confident that once they see the capability of our tracking systems, they will instantly realize the need for it in their community.”

Headquartered in Toronto, Falken Secure Networks specializes in selling secure integrated communications and RFID networks for national and global enterprises. Based in New Jersey, US Identifications is a leading distributor of systems that can create and produce photo identification cards, as well as access and magnetic stripe cards. The partnerships with Falken Secure Networks and US Identifications are the fifth and sixth reseller agreements OnSite ERT has signed in the past year. ERT Systems already has agreements in place with Douglas Safety Systems in Michigan, Anclote Fire Safety in Florida, BizEXC in Texas and Berks Emergency Equipment in Pennsylvania.

OnSite ERT uses a combination of lightweight ID tags, portable drop readers and incident command software that provides a clear sense of an emergency scene in real time – all from the screen of a laptop. The innovative tracking system is the creation of Carmichael, a technology expert, and retired firefighter John Ellis. The tracking system is currently being used in more than 40 departments, in the United States and Canada, with more on the way.

As a way to upgrade the system and allow for increased inter-departmental capabilities, OnSite ERT Central was introduced by Carmichael and Ellis in August. OnSite ERT Central allows users to automatically track emergency responders from multiple agencies that show up to assist in the combined efforts. OnSite ERT Central keeps up-to-date records of every emergency responder registered in the OnSite ERT network, giving incident commanders the freedom to have full access to the vital data they need during each emergency situations.
