RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 30, 2007 /PRNewswire / -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE:
RTN) JPS Communications has partnered with Missoula, Mont.-based Invizeon
Corp. to market an emergency alert system to colleges, universities, and
civil and military customers. The system delivers an emergency notification
message within minutes to thousands of users -- independent of device,
access method or carrier.
In crises, senior officials need fast, reliable methods of distributing
information to citizens and public safety officials to effectively respond
to and manage incidents. Invizeon's CHAIN(TM) solution, coupled with JPS'
radio interoperability products, enables quick, efficient messaging and
improves coordination and emergency management through better situational
awareness.
"By combining our capabilities with Invizeon, a comprehensive solution
now exists for bridging land mobile radio and other commonly used
communications devices for emergency response messaging," said Keith
McDonald, vice president of Sales and Marketing for JPS Communications.
"Partnering with companies that offer advanced commercial communications
software and technology solutions allows JPS to use its established market
presence and radio expertise to bring customers critical solutions."
"With CHAIN, customers benefit from a managed alert service that is
easy to use, available at a moment's notice and does not require any
additional investment in hardware, software, or related maintenance and
license fees," said David Todd, president of Invizeon. "This integrated
technology brings a multitude of communications devices together under one
system, which significantly reduces the time required to distribute
critical information resulting in improved response and recovery time."

technology, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raytheon Company that designs,
