FreeLinc’s FreeMic 200 and FreeMotion 100 will provide their officers with communication systems for their portable radios without the hazards and hassles of typical corded or wired systems. Both systems interface to the portable radio through a FreeLinc adapter. The adapter provides a second push to talk option allowing their officers to always maintain a defensive posture and discretion when transmitting. The FreeMic 200 speaker microphone boasts up to 50 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge. The FreeMotion 100 is FreeLinc’s newest wireless device. It’s a lightweight, single ear headset resembling those commonly used with mobile phones.

“The University of Utah Police Department was looking for a solution to replace our existing wired mobile communications link. The old system was fragile, often broken or intermittently out of service. We found what we were looking for in FreeLinc. The FreeLinc system provides reliable, wireless operation, good technical support, and works in some of our more unique environments. We have fully deployed the FreeLinc system in our Police Department, and we are currently evaluating it for our non-sworn security staff,” stated University of Utah Chief of Police, Scott Folsom.

“We are proud to have the University of Utah as our customer,” stated Randy Bailey, FreeLinc Chairman and President. “We are eager to continue to provide Chief Folsom and his officers the quality products and support they have come to expect from FreeLinc for their important campus security mission at University of Utah.”

FreeLinc’s patent provides a system to communicate via Near Field Communication (NFC) while allowing the communication system to change between multiple communication channels in order to avoid interference between similar devices.  This will allow Near Field Communication systems with extended range to co-exist while they are in close proximity.

As the demand for short range Personal Area Networks (PAN’s) increase due to the need for secure localized communication systems, FreeLinc’s capabilities utilizing NFC patented technology will have enormous worldwide demand.  NFC Personal Area Networks have broad use in military applications, public safety communications, consumer products and the cellular telephone industry.

“This is a very strategic and valuable patent for FreeLinc,” stated Randy Bailey, FreeLinc Chairman and President.  “With the explosive growth of personal devices worldwide and the demand for secure wireless capabilities, FreeLinc is thrilled to have this patented capability.”

The FreeMotion 100 TM will operate up to 20 continuous hours on a single charge. It includes a wide assortment of ear wires and gels to offer the user the most comfortable, secure fit for either the right or left ear.

The FreeMotion 100 TM interfaces with the same FreeLinc Adapter as the FreeMic 200 TM, FreeMotion 200 TM or the FreeLinc Dual Muff TM, providing existing FreeLinc users a new headset capability to their existing FreeLinc system. The FreeMotion 100 TM offers the only secure means of communication without the hazards of wires, cords and cables.

“For the first time ever, first responders and others who depend on their two-way radios for secure communication, will have the advantage of a lightweight wireless headset” stated Randy Bailey, FreeLinc President. Two-way radio users have told us that the ability to have a headset that “looks like a cell phone headset” and provides secure communication through their two-way radio is extremely valuable. We are thrilled to be the first in the world to provide that solution.

FreeLinc has developed a line of products for public safety, government and commercial users of portable two-way radios. For more information on FreeLinc’s products and technology, visit our website at: www.freelinc.com. FreeLinc is also a GSA vendor.

Anthony Sutera, company CEO stated, “We are thrilled with the award. This important contract vehicle will allow us to bring our advanced secure wireless communication capabilities directly to the warfighter. This contract increases our reach into military research and development opportunities to further develop FreeLinc innovations to meet emerging and urgent Navy and Marine needs. FreeLinc is already engaged in several initiatives. The Seaport-e contract vehicle will allow our clients, who are demanding FreeLinc’s patented, secure, wireless capabilities, to fund the development of their specific warfighter solutions.”
