New Canaan, Connecticut (PRWEB) October 22, 2013 -- DefenCall, Inc., a subsidiary of Defentect Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: DFTC) today announced it has been selected as a “2013 Tech Company to Watch” by the Connecticut Technology Council for its cutting-edge StaySafe smartphone panic button app solutions and will be featured at the Connecticut Innovation Summit on November 7, 2013.
This places DefenCall among a select group of Connecticut technology companies recognized for introducing innovative technology solutions. Selected companies were culled from a broader base of hundreds of start-ups and emerging tech companies.
“DefenCall is dramatically improving the response to emergencies at schools, colleges and hospitals by empowering people to more effectively ‘call for help” and providing greatly enhanced situational awareness to first responders and administrators,” said James C. Ackerly, CEO of DefenCall. “We are honored to be among such an exceptional group of pioneering ‘Tech Companies to Watch’ in software, biotech, green technology and, internet.”
DefenCall’s apps increase the safety of students, employees, and other communities. The Company’s StaySafe line of smartphone apps enables “panic button” alerting to 911, supported by simultaneous text message and email alerts to first responders and administrators who need to know when an incident is occurring at their school, campus or healthcare facility. These alerts include enhanced caller information including name and GPS location which can be viewed on a map from the internet or on a smartphone.
StaySafe apps also provide emergency information with specific procedures to follow in a variety of serious situations. This information is customized to include the organization’s own emergency protocols. Examples of “what to do in an emergency” information include active shooter protection, tornado procedures, power outage, and protocols for other serious incidents.
