identifying and tracking personnel and assets during incidents and
emergencies. He brings a wealth of experience and connections in
industrial and global markets - key areas for our growth
strategy."

Salamander's solution and public safety pedigree into adjacent
industrial and international safety markets. The prospects for
growth are unlimited."
