Imagine having the ability to respond to emergencies, identify dangerous chemicals and react to mission critical situations with the touch of a stylus. This is now a reality. Alluviam, a company based outside of San Francisco, Calif., develops the only mobile technology which allows emergency response, homeland security, forensics, law enforcement, emergency medical services and industrial emergency response teams to react more efficiently even in the most challenging circumstances.
Several years ago, Greg Ouzounian, President of Alluviam, began researching a more economical option for his customers who were currently spending thousands of dollars on rugged units. By offering a protective enclosure, customers can now use a standard PDA installed with Alluviam software for a fraction of the cost.
Ouzounian evaluated several case options, but the OtterBox 3600 rugged PDA case best met the requirements.
“The OtterBox provides a level of durability and protection that a normal PDA can’t touch. This is a more economic solution for our customers who need water and drop protection,” said Ouzounian.
Alluviam has delivered over 500 HazMasterG3 systems to customers, ranging from fire departments, all branches of the milit- ary, federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Many of these systems are protected by OtterBox solutions.
By using the OtterBox, Alluviam customers save roughly $1,000 or more per unit. Rugged PDA’s installed with Alluviam software range anywhere from $2,799-$6,000 based upon the functionality A system enclosed in the OtterBox case retails for $1,895 MSRP.
“The OtterBox protects the PDA’s in emergency situations,” explained Ouzounian. “If a system breaks or if it’s raining, it’s a major blow. The OtterBox safeguards the device in any environment so response teams can determine how far they should evacuate people or how to handle situations such as car bombs and che- mical spills.”
Customers using the OtterBox 3600 have responded positively to the solution saying it’s easy to carry around and works well even with gloved hands. The neoprene hand strap, optional neck lanyard and belt clip provide added carrying options.
“Our clients are working in life and death situations and having this technology helps them identify the threats to make order out of chaos,” said Ouzounian. “We’re working a lot on systems in the War Against Terror and overseas to provide advanced response for any emergency.”
