Applied Innovation Introduces Powerful Remote Site Security Management



ORLANDO, Fla., March 27 /- Applied Innovation Inc. (NASDAQ:AINN) today announced the addition of remote site security management to its comprehensive solutions for critical infrastructure providers. In addition to remote monitoring and control of traffic-bearing communications networks and remote power systems, the company now helps customers protect their remote assets from theft and ensure the safety of their field technicians.

Developed partially in response to the rise in copper and aluminum thefts and feedback from key Tier 1 communications customers, the solution provides remote monitoring of web-based cameras, door and window alarms, and more. Camera images are centrally stored and can be motion-triggered or scheduled; the system alerts Network Operations Centers or loss prevention personnel to search for and view live or stored footage on any camera throughout the network, based on pre-established privileges. Additionally, cameras can be accessed remotely for configuration changes and pan/tilt/zoom control.

The offering is the latest in Applied Innovation's (AI) strategy to deliver the most comprehensive management solution for critical remote infrastructure such as cell sites, outside plant, and electrical substations. The solution comprises AIremote(TM), a versatile remote site appliance that serves as an alarm collection point and remote access interface, and AIdirector(TM), a management platform designed specifically for remote technicians to monitor and control core network elements, security systems, power systems and more. An optional DC-powered, telco-grade power over Ethernet injector is available to ensure cameras continue to operate even if the primary power source is disrupted by failure or malicious intent. Remote cameras, as well as complete implementation and product support services are also available.

"Numerous companies look to AI for ways to decrease operations-related truck rolls and provide intelligent information before dispatching to site," said Eric Langille, senior vice president of operations. "We'll continue to respond to their priorities for remote management solutions and feel that, right now, AI is at the forefront of innovative site management from a single appliance. The remote site security solution acknowledges a very real concern for the safety of personnel following vandalism attacks or severe storms. The cameras can tell them if the site is accessible and what dangers visiting technicians may encounter. Coupled with our remote management of communications equipment and site power, it's a powerful package."

AI's remote site management solutions are already installed in several Tier 1 fixed line and mobile communication providers, as well as electric utilities and rail customers globally. The company's solutions are on display this week in booth 2067 at CTIA Wireless 2007 and are featured in the show's Wireless Building Showcase.
