OWINGS MILLS, Md.-Action in the wireless enterprise space continues, with two providers scoring government contracts.
First, Aether Systems Inc. announced that the Garden City, N.Y., Police Department will use its PacketCluster Patrol product to wirelessly access real-time information from the newly created New York state Counter Terrorism Network database.
Separately, Extended Systems announced the City of Toronto Public Health Department will use its products and services to develop a mobile restaurant inspection application.
“As a growing city of 2.5 million, it was becoming crucial for Toronto’s Public Health Department to find a way to speed up the process of restaurant inspection and the distribution of grade ratings to consumers,” said Lalit Canaran, Extended Systems’ professional services director. “What we’ve built not only speeds up the process, it replaces the current paper-based forms and provides wireless communications for queries and updating of inspection results.”
