Exalt Upgrades Orleans County’s Emergency Communications System

 Orleans County Enhances Public Safety with the EX- 4.9i Broadband Wireless

                Backhaul Solution from Exalt Communications



    CAMPBELL, Calif., July 15 /EMWNews/ -- Exalt Communications, the

leading innovator of next generation wireless backhaul, today announced

that Orleans County, New York, has selected Exalt to upgrade Orleans County

public safety and municipal agencies, which operate mission critical voice

and data communications systems.



    Nestled on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, Orleans County Sheriff's

Office serves a population of over 44,000 people and covers an area of 396

square miles on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in Western New York.

Given the vast coverage area and limited resources, an efficient

communications system is the key to saving lives and connecting the

community where dispatch means up to a two hour drive. The previous system

was proprietary and could not deliver advanced features due to a lack of

efficient and scalable Ethernet connectivity.



    Developing a unified, interoperable communications system provides

Orleans County with a powerful tool to substantially increase both daily

efficiency and periodic effectiveness during emergencies, when command and

control are paramount.



    "With Exalt we have control of our network across LATA boundaries,

providing the best communications tool to ensure the safety of our

community," said Peter Stritzinger, Radio Systems Manager. "Exalt is a

higher class of carrier grade equipment."



    The Exalt 4.9 GHz wireless backhaul solutions are designed for robust,

mission-critical communication requirements of public safety organizations.

These solutions are software configurable and provide the highest capacity

in the industry, with up to 55 Mbps guaranteed total aggregate throughput.

The Exalt radios are also the only radios on the market that can be

configured for both native TDM and native IP traffic, providing the most

secure and cost-effective solution with 128 or 256 bit AES encryption and

SNMPv3 management.



    "We have seen a growing demand for next generation robust wireless

networks for public safety including emergency response and county wide

communications," said Amir Zoufonoun, President and Chief Executive Officer

of Exalt. "With our ability to instantly deliver high capacity with very

low latency and robust security, Exalt systems are helping various

government and public safety organizations rapidly achieve their

challenging network upgrade requirements. Our scalable solution enabled

Orleans County to easily add more advanced services and coverage at any

time, without disrupting or replacing their existing network."
