Partnership is a result of increased demand for mobile public safety solutions
Emblaze Systems, part of the Emblaze Group and provider of mobile media solutions for wireless networks, today announces that it has entered into an OEM agreement with Orsus Solutions, provider of mobile workforce applications.
Emblaze will provide Orsus with its leading-edge software solutions – EMstudio (live enabled in MPEG4 format), providing download and streaming capability, and EMplayer on Windows CE.
To date, Emblaze has targeted operators with mostly “consumer” applications. This deal enables them to take a larger slice of the “mobile worker pie.”
Orsus Solutions provides highly-secure mobile public safety applications which allow law enforcement officers and security personnel to wirelessly receive and update mission-critical data, such as warrants, alerts and hazards, directly on their handheld devices without going through control rooms. The Emblaze video streaming capabilities, integrated into the Orsus application, will allow mobile security officers to remotely monitor real-time video on their wireless devices.
EMstudio is an encoding, authoring and publishing system for the production of mobile audio and video content for streaming download delivery. It is a robust and easy to use content creation system that produces mobile-optimised media for both live streams and on-demand clips. EMstudio integrates with third party editing tools and supports multiple output format options.
EMplayer seamlessly integrates with other device client software for automatic launch from a browser link or from an SMS, MMS or WAP Push message. It features a simple and intuitive graphical user interface, for user-friendly navigation and consistent application flow. EMplayer supports customised interfaces and enables customisation of on-screen controls, bars, menus, menu items and dialog messages.
Ben Reich, COO of Orsus Solutions, said: “The ability of security officers to effectively respond to events and make critical decisions while on the road depends, to a large degree, on having real-time access to data without being tethered to dispatch centers. The Emblaze offering will further enhance the ability of field security personnel to instantly receive critical data, react to events and take preventive action.”
Itai Ben-Dor, Managing Director of Emblaze Systems, said: “Mobile communication is hugely beneficial to the security market, a market which we believe has high revenue potential. This agreement demonstrates Emblaze Systems’ versatility and value in the business arena, helping to improve the efficiency of organisations and mobile employees, whilst increasing their competitive edge. This is mission critical in today’s mobile business environment.”
