2nd August 2007Agreement to Supply AIS Technology to the RNLIThe Directors of Software Radio Technology plc ('SRT') are pleased to announce that SRT Marine Technology Limited has signed an agreement with Raycomm Electronics Limited to supply SRT's AIS Class B transceivers for use in a system being developed by Raycomm for the RNLI to assist in tracking and management of its fleet of lifeboats. Adopting new technology which enhances search and rescue capability is a high on the agenda for the RNLI. Extensive trials of SRT Marine Technology's AIS Class B transceivers carried out in the Solent on a number of RNLI All-Weather Lifeboats demonstrated the significant benefits for the RNLI. Neil Peniket, SRT Marine Technology's Managing Director said: 'We have invested significantly in sea trials of our Class B products here in the UK and throughout the world. The reliability and functionality of our solution is crucial for the RNLI.' Mark Morgan, Radiocommunications Project Officer with the RNLI said: 'The RNLI considers AIS Class B to be an important technology in augmenting existing search and rescue systems.' Richard Thatcher, Raycomm's Managing Director said: 'Our expertise in integrating leading edge technologies to provide complete product solutions is enabling the RNLI to achieve an ever more rapid and successful response in a search and rescue situation.'

The library will be distributed to clients of HP wanting to integrate the MSPOT into their systems and will substantially reduce integration effort. 2nd June 2007Raycomm are pleased to announce the design, implementation and delivery of the innovative Truscene(R) (www.truscene.com) accident recording system. A compact single-lens camera unit mounted on the inside of the windscreen, powered by the vehicle’s battery and connected via the ignition. The TruScene TS-1L uses GPS to log the exact location of a recorded incident, as well as the time and date. It records journey footage on a 30-second loop, which is constantly replaced as the journey continues. When a predetermined level of g-force is reached – for example, at a point of impact with another vehicle, or obvious loss of control – a sensor is activated and the device commits the latest video image to memory. The driver can also manually record footage at any time. Once recorded, the data is encrypted and digitally watermarked to eliminate tampering and fraud. The film record processing procedure begins when Truscene’s database receives an accident clip. A reference number is issued to the client; this number is then forwarded to the insurance company with their claim request. Raycomm initially developed the backend database, website, encrypted video streaming and the users PC software incorporating USB connectivity. We now manage the hosting and support the web. 1st June 2007Raycomm introduce hosting services for our clients where we have developed the product to be hosted. Our servers are provided by Rackspace, a major supplier of hosting solutions (see www.rackspace.co.uk). The addition of this value added service means that we are able to be a one stop shop for clients requiring web and server development that don’t already have a natural hosting arrangement and wish to combine our intimate knowledge of the product alongside Rackspace’s impressive reliability, for a support service second to none. 21st May 2007Raycomm move into new, larger premises to enable further expansion.
