NORWALK, Conn., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Defentect Group,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFTC), a developer and provider of rapid
response software solutions for the threat detection industry,
announced today the launch of its newest product, DefenCall. The
SmartPhone application is the first program that enables a user to
broadcast his or her location in the event of an emergency. The
information will be sent via Defentect's proprietary DM3™ response
software to those that the user specified to take action in such an
event. When the panic button is triggered, text messages and email
alerts are sent to the user's friends, family or caretakers with
reports that a distress message has been received, including the
user's exact GPS coordinates. Depending on the user's preferences,
the alert will also initiate a phone call to 911, a private
security company, or someone else who can provide help.
According to International Data Corporation, a global provider
of market intelligence for a variety of technology segments, the
worldwide SmartPhone market reached a new record level of 54.5
million units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 39% from
the same quarter of 2008. Vendors shipped a total of 174.2 million
units for the full year in 2009. This is just the initial phase in
Defentect's multi-faceted approach to exploit existing technology
in this and other revenue generating vertical markets. The size of
the SmartPhone market alone is just one way that the Company can
leverage its assets for greater fiscal use. Defentect has
identified potential partners for this product and are currently in
late stage negotiations with one group.
"DefenCall is just one example of how our system can apply to
many different situations," commented Jim
Ackerly, CEO of Defentect Group, Inc. "It seems that almost
weekly, we are hearing reports of someone being assaulted or
violently abducted with family members and authorities having
little to no knowledge of their loved ones' whereabouts. This
product was designed to provide peace of mind to the parents of a
teenager in college, or who is out with friends, or those with a
loved one who has medical needs or works in a setting where they
may be alone late at night in potentially unsafe situations. The
sense of security enabled by immediate knowledge of a problem and
initiation of a rapid response is what Defentect is all about."
DefenCall will be available initially to iPhone users, and the
Company anticipates future versions to be compatible with other
"smart" devices. For more information, visit www.defentect.com.
