City of Airdrie Establishes Logistics Operation Center Using ESTeem Wireless Modems Mobile Network

KENNEWICK, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Systems Technology Inc. (EST) (OTCBB:ELST), dba ESTeem Wireless Modems, the manufacturer of the ESTeem product line of wireless modems. On August 3, 2010 the City of Airdrie, Canada managed to avoid evacuation after a Canadian Pacific (CP) train carrying ammonia derailed north of the city. Within minutes Paul Hurst, a network administrator and crew installed a back-up ESTeem 195Eg 2.4GHz Wireless Modem in Fire Chief Sheldon Leavitt’s Yukon allowing him to access the city Mobile Network infrastructure and VOIP. After the hard work from the CP Derailment Team and HazMat crews, the derailment was made safe for citizens on August 5, 2010. Mr. Hurst teamed with Sean Walinga from Secure Group to extend the network; establishing a remote ESTeem Mobile Repeater near the derailment site and another at the Logistics Operations Center (LOC) to provide the CP Train Derailment Crews with network and VOIP telephone access.

“While we had discussed at length the capabilities of the ESTeem Radio Network, utilizing VOIP over the mobile network had never been tested by the City of Airdrie,” says Paul Hurst. “We were confident that the two year old installation would expand to meet the demands of the organization, and today we confirmed it.”

The ESTeem 195Eg wireless modem network provides 54 Mbps RF data rate in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed spectrum. Utilizing an advanced, industrial hardened case, the 195Eg can be field deployed and directly outdoor pole mounted. With Power over Ethernet capability and internal lightning arrestor, expensive feedlines and external lightning arrestors can be eliminated, reducing system cost and signal-loss. The 195Eg has the integral digi-repeater feature that creates a Mesh network without hardwiring individual Access Points to further reduce the cost of large scale wireless networks and allow ease of installation.

The typical return on investment for the ESTeem wireless LAN is 6 months to 2 years depending on the application. With the increased bandwidth available from the Model 195Eg, other devices can be layered on a user’s wireless LAN such as video monitoring and Voice over IP for remote emergency phone needs.

Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held Corporation since 1984, was the first company to develop the wireless modem and receive the United States and Canadian patents for this technology.
