Indiana University of Pennsylvania ties up with Beeper Israel to co-develop CCC systems

Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) Research Institute has tied up with Beeper Israel to co-develop as well as market next generation integrated Command and Control and Communications systems for the domestic emergency management market.

This cooperation will cover integration of Beeper’s Broadband Wireless Network communications solutions with IUP’s Command and Control (C2) software suite, joint development of a next generation Command and Control system for US responders and municipalities and integration of Beeper’s public alert systems with IUP C2 products.

IUP Research Institute, an affiliate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, has been involved in offering National Guard units with C2 capabilities for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high explosives (CBRNE) forces operating in the US Homeland for more than 10 years.

Beeper Israel is a key leader in the communications field, offering several emergency management communications solutions including public information alert systems to the Israel government and the Israel Defense Forces.

IUP CEO and executive director Mark Berezansky, who has been leading the coordination with Beeper, said, "The University leadership is always looking for new collaborative opportunities and this new relationship with Beeper Israel will allow us in IUP to upgrade our existing products together with a company that has decades of real world experience and allow us to provide a quality product to emergency managers and first responders in the U.S."

Beeper senior vice president Moshe Levinson said: "Beeper has decades of real world experience providing solutions for the Israeli public and we are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with IUP and help provide U.S. responders with lifesaving solutions."
