ST. LOUIS, MO / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2015 / HDS International Corp. (PINKSHEETS:HDSI), a technology development company, today announced that it will deploy location enhanced mobile technology for any Public Service Access Point (PSAP), city or county in the State of Missouri without setup cost or annual fee for five years.
HDSI CEO Paul Rauner said that the Community Safety Initiative was motivated by KSDK, the NBC affiliate in St Louis. "KSDK ran a story a couple of weeks ago explaining that much of Missouri has limited or no ability to locate emergency callers when they call from cell phones. That story ran at about the same time that we came out of development with a product that solves the 911 location problem. If our solution can save a single life then it's a moral imperative to put it in place."

Rauner explains, "We want to put location and communication tools in the hands of the public entities responsible for first response. SirenGPS enhances emergency communication with location and profiles. At the PSAP this information can make the call go more quickly. Distributed locally this information lets first responders in your community see what is happening in real time. We can instantly send location information directly to local first responders downstream from the PSAP even if we are not imbedded in the PSAP. However, it only works if first responders in your community sign up to receive your location when you call. We encourage every municipality to sign up."
Public entities accepting services will be obligated to encourage their population to use SirenGPS Mobile, and transition their existing community messaging services to HDSI. HDSI will provide community messaging services at the same price as existing services. Interested communities should submit requests at http://hdsicorp.com/. Services will be installed on a "first come, first served" basis.
Rauner says that SirenGPS technology was developed to provide tools for the rapidly expanding emergency management market, estimated at $2B annually. The software was designed and built for emergency management, but building the software that emergency managers needed to do their jobs, also solved the location problem for E911. "If you just consider St Louis as an example, there are two PSAPs serving more than 90 municipalities. If we were selling E911 we would have two places to sell it. Because our customer is the emergency manager at every town, hospital, school, college and business, this much larger market allows us to provide location services to first responders for free in Missouri - a model that we will extend to the rest of the country."
SirenGPS enhanced location technology is a component of HDSI's industry-leading solutions that enhance existing emergency communications by, among other things, providing location services for mobile emergency calls and enabling emergency managers to know what is happening and communicate with their communities in real-time. The platform works from a free mobile application that provides an emergency calling "panic button" and serves as the end user registration and communication portal for community emergency management tools.
