Brownsburg Fire Territory Selects FD-onScene And Toughbook 27 For Wireless Internet Access

(CHANDLER, AZ - June 7, 1999) - FieldSoft, Inc., announced today that the Brownsburg Fire Territory has become the latest FieldSoft customer. Brownsburg purchased a hardware and software bundle comprised of 1.) FD-onScene command, accountability, and pre-plan software; 2.) a Panasonic Toughbook 27 ruggedized computer with color touch screen; and 3.) an integrated cellular digital packet data (CDPD) modem for wireless data communication. Moreover, Brownsburg purchased the computer and software for a cost that equaled the list price of the hardware alone.

"Our customers have asked for a turnkey hardware and software package", said Mark Bouchard of FieldSoft, "and Brownsburg is the latest customer to take advantage of the resulting one stop shop". Bouchard went on to add that "Brownsburg took the bold step of ordering a CDPD modem as part of the package. Subsequently, the agency will be able to take advantage of Internet resources that can benefit response activities such as email, faxing, pager notification; and do it all simply and easily from the field".

FieldSoft applications are used by incident commanders to manage people, resources, and events while on the scene of an emergency. The software automates most – if not all -- incident management functions formerly handled with pen and paper based worksheets, checklists or marker boards. Moreover, enhancements made to the product since it was first released allow the command team to effectively use centrally stored digital pre-plan information such as text and drawings, rather then hard copy information located in one or more locations and formats.

"We think Brownsburg made a wise purchase" said Bouchard, who closed with "you know an agency is watching out for the community when it increases its response capabilities, and does so by taking advantage of an aggressively priced package offer that keeps acquisition costs to the absolute minimum".
