ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
XeDAR Corporation (OTCBB: XDRC), a provider of cyber and homeland
security solutions, today announced that its subsidiary, Pixxures,
Inc. of Arvada, CO, was awarded a contract extension to provide color
orthomosaic production services of ADS40 aerial sensor imagery to Fit
Conseil in Gennevilliers, France.
This project is part of Pixxures' strategic plan to extend its
production and service expertise outside of the traditional core
markets in North America. "Pixxures and Fit Conseil share a lot of
similarities and common goals. Not only do we acquire and process
imagery, but both companies are committed to expanding the use of
value-added information extracted from this imagery for the benefit of
our worldwide clients. Fit Conseil is the perfect partner for this
work," said Steve Jennings, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at
Pixxures, Inc.
Earlier this year, Pixxures performed orthophoto mosaic production
on ADS40 imagery acquired by Fit Conseil. The project area consisted
of approximately 500 square miles along the Nile River, north of
Khartum in the Sudan region. Pixxures has already begun working on an
extension to the Sudan project and will process an additional 579
square miles along the Nile River east and west regions.
"We were working on an important project in terms of volume. We
had short deadlines and did not have enough capacity to do all the
work ourselves," said Gabriella Toth, head of the Photogrammetry
Department at Fit Conseil. "We were already familiar with Pixxures as
they had contacted us about a project they were doing in Europe. We
knew we had similar work methods and production lines, so there was a
mutual understanding from the get-go."
The imagery that Pixxures is processing for Fit Conseil will be
used by engineers working with the government of Sudan on a critical
infrastructure project along the Nile River.
"Pixxures' level of responsiveness to our project and their
ability to meet our deadlines and deliver a product that is up to our
standards, is important in terms of our own relationship with our
client," added Toth. "We would like to continue our collaboration,
especially on this kind of widespread project."
