Polaris bags multi million dollar contract for location surveillance

Polaris Wireless announced a significant customer contract, for a multi-million dollar deployment of its 'Altus and OmniLocate' location surveillance product suite in the Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA) region.

This deal represents a major increase in Polaris Wireless business, and is the fourteenth deployment of the company's wireless location surveillance solution outside the US, and thirty-eighth globally, as per company's press release.

The product is capable of locating a wireless device to within 40 meters for the majority of the calls and helps customers avoid the costly and time-consuming deployment and maintenance associated with hardware-based location solutions.

'This deal has contributed to the highest revenue-earning year in Polaris Wireless history. We are exploring several additional opportunities in the international marketplace, and plan to increase our workforce in order to meet the growing demand,' said Manlio Allegra, Polaris Wireless CEO and co-founder.

According to the company, its Altus application suite is the industry's only software-based surveillance solution that enables accurate mass location - providing users the ability to simultaneously locate all subscribers in a wireless network in real time and on a historical basis.
