New Edgility order for US Emergency Services

BATM (LSE: BVC; TASE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, announces that it has been awarded a new, expanded five-year order from NGA 911 LLC ("NGA"), a leading provider of emergency connectivity services, for deployment of the Group's Edgility platform for edge computing in the US.

This latest order follows the successful deployment of Edgility under the original purchase order from NGA, as announced on 5 June 2023. The Group expects to receive further orders from NGA as they continue the roll-out of the Group's Edgility solution in the current areas of deployment and expand the roll-out to NGA's network in additional US States.  

NGA is using Edgility to deliver the call-handling system for 911 Emergency Services and the 988 National Suicide Prevention & Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. By utilising the Edgility platform, NGA is able to run critical applications close to end-users at the edge of the network, which reduces network latency to facilitate enhanced responsiveness, ultra-high availability and faster call resolution times.

In addition, Edgility enables the virtualisation of multiple applications on a single small form edge device, reducing the need for additional hardware and significantly decreasing power consumption.

Moti Nagar, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said: "It is great to receive this new order for Edgility, which follows the successful deployment of our edge computing solution under the original engagement. We have received excellent feedback from NGA regarding Edgility's performance and this expanded order is testament to their satisfaction. We expect this momentum to continue as they roll-out our solution across more of their extensive network. Along with the increasing interest that we are receiving in Edgility from potential customers globally, we are very excited about the near-term prospects for this solution."
