Oklahoma Selects viaRadio to Expand Emergency Warning System to Remote Areas

MELBOURNE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
The State of Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management selected viaRadio`s
ENVOY Emergency Solutions platform to cover 20 remote counties in Western
Oklahoma. The emergency solutions platform, created by Florida-based viaRadio,
will help communicate with residents before, during and after a disaster.

The remote counties include Alfalfa, Beaver, Blaine, Caddo, Cimarron, Cotton,
Dewey, Ellis, Garfield, Grant, Harmon, Harper, Jefferson, Kingfisher, Major,
Stephens, Texas, Tillman, Washita, and Woodward Counties.

Under the Remote Community Alert System, these counties will be an extension of
the viaRadio ENVOY Emergency Solutions platform in Oklahoma. This existing
coverage area includes Norman, Ada, Woodward, Ellis, Enid and Harper.

viaRadio developed a local alert system which combines radio-style receivers,
called HEARO Local Alert Receiver, with software to send immediate text messages
to residents from authorized and trained personnel with the Oklahoma Division of
Emergency Management and the 20 county emergency managers. The system will
notify thousands of residents in seconds. Officials will employ the technology
to communicate with county staffs, emergency management and residents of
individual counties or statewide on subjects ranging from urgent safety concerns
to road and school closures.

Residents are encouraged to purchase HEAROs to gain access to official emergency
communications. Residents may purchase receivers at www.viaradio.com.

Unlike standard weather radios, HEARO limits weather alerts to the immediate
area. HEARO is a specially designed FM-receiver that works power, internet and
telephones are out.

HEARO receivers will alert even if turned off or are tuned to NOAA or another FM
station. This helps ensure citizens wake in the middle of the night during an
emergency.

Radio stations including KWOX, KWFX, KYBE, KECO, KKBS, KOFM, KGOU, and KIMY work
with viaRadio to transmit Oklahoma emergency warning data over their FM signal.
These stations are members of Oklahoma HEARO Network, a nationwide group of
broadcasters who supports the ENVOY Emergency Solutions platform.

viaRadio Corporation provides warning systems to governments, educational
institutions, emergency managers, hospitality facilities, and other large
organizations in the U.S. and Caribbean. The systems include user-friendly
software designed to trigger instantaneous text alerts to HEARO receivers.
Systems provide warning and post-event information for natural weather
phenomena. Founded in 2005, viaRadio, along with its parent Germany-based 2wcom,
are worldwide leaders in RDS/RBDS equipment and data systems. For more
