The Digital Angel Delivery System offers numerous potential applications, from medical and location monitoring for at-risk patients and e-commerce security, to managing the commodity supply chain and locating lost or missing pets/property. Digital Angel data is transmitted wirelessly, on a real time basis, to an Internet-integrated ground station and made available on a Web-enabled desktop, laptop or wireless device.
As the first wireless carrier to provide real-time transmission of biological data collected as part of the Digital Angel system, AT&T Wireless will work with Applied Digital’s state-of-the-art application center and eBusiness software development lab to deliver information over its Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) network. The AT&T Wireless data network serves customers in more than 3,000 cities nationwide.
We’re extremely pleased that AT&T Wireless will help us deliver the life-saving potential of Digital Angel to real customers, said Mercedes Walton, Applied Digital’s president and chief operating officer. We have always believed that what makes Digital Angel such an exciting product is not just the innovative technology of the physical device, but the combination of Applied Digital Solutions’ unrivaled Intelligent Integrated Information Services (I³) platform that underpins the hardware. With this agreement, AT&T Wireless becomes an integral part of our Digital Angel Delivery System.
The Digital Angel system is an application you once saw only in science fiction movies, said Steve Livingston, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions, AT&T Wireless. We’re excited to help bring applications such as these to the public over our wireless network.
Applied Digital will be demonstrating its new Digital Angel wristband, pet protection products and supporting Digital Angel Delivery System at the Internet World Wireless 2001 Conference and Exhibition to be held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City, February 20 to 23. In addition, the company will unveil a unique web portal community for marketing and distributing Digital Angel products, along with other Digital Angel applications. Representatives from AT&T Wireless will also be at the booth.
The company said the new applications will be available during the second half of 2001 in markets where AT&T Wireless provides service or has roaming agreements with other carriers for CDPD service.
These applications, as well as other eBusiness applications and mission-critical support for many of Applied Digital’s future projects, including Digital Angel and its supporting communications Delivery System, will be centered in the company’s new e-business facility and software development lab located in the Riverside Regional Technology Park in Riverside, California.
