Gentag, Inc. and eV PRODUCTS are working together on the development and deployment of low-cost threat-detection cell phones that could form the basis of a low-cost nationwide network of defense mechanisms against terrorist strikes and/or accidental biohazard events.
"Our patented technology provides the components to address the US Department of Homeland Security's recently announced vision of creating a low- cost, nationwide, wireless, sensor-network blanket based on cell phones," announced Dr. John Peeters, the founder of Gentag.
Rick Smith, Manager of Global Marketing & Sales at eV PRODUCTS, concurred, saying that "Our line of miniature, mobile sensors is enabling the mass deployment of ubiquitous, smart, radiation-sensor systems in devices like cell phones."
