![]() 1st Responder Wireless News has completed the Acquisition of four companies to add to its growing emergency alert notification system: TAC-9 Paging, East Coast Paging and Wireless Systems, Virginia Fire Net and Toronto Fire Net. Additionally, the company acquired theTAC-9 national affiliate's server that provides communications for several other systems across the country. "TAC-9 and East Coast have been two of the leaders in this industry for well over 10 years and not only are we fortunate to have acquired their companies, but the wealth of knowledge that comes with them," said 1st Responder Wireless News General Manager Scott Donnenberg. "We are not only looking forward to integrating the tremendous base of dispatchers into our system that comes from these acquisitions, but I'm very fortunate to have learned so much from Paul Trahon and Steve Hooke along the way. TAC-9 Paging is not only one of the largest paging companies in the country, but its server and its technology have been used for many years as the central processing point for several other groups across the country. It has also established the largest multiple alarm reporting affiliate network in the country. "I'm very excited about moving forward with 1st Responder Wireless News and our customers should be as well," said Steve Hooke, President of TAC-9. "With the experience and relationships TAC-9 has developed, combined with the cutting-edge technology 1st Responder has in place, it's a marriage made in heaven. I've also had the opportunity to see the exciting plans 1st Responder has for the future and our customers should look to many new and exciting features and services in the coming months." As one of the pioneers in the wireless news delivery industry, Paul Trahon of East Coast Paging has been instrumental in developing much of the early-stage paging technology and logic that is still in use today, as well as establishing many of the dispatching SOPs widely accepted in the industry." East Coast Paging has been the leader in fire and news paging since we started in 1990," said Paul Trahon, President of East Coast Paging. "During the past 16 years, we have strived to provide our customers with the latest in technology and customer service second to none." Trahon added that he "thought long and hard to make the decision to move over and let someone else take the reins of the business. That in itself was difficult enough, but a miniscule of a task to find the right person or company that had the same moral values and ideals as East Coast. Finally, 1st Responder Wireless News came along. I've seen the future technological plans for 1st Responder and without a doubt they will take the paging and news industry beyond the next level of what any fire buff would ever want in a news system." Since its first acquisition of Metro Fire Paging in New Jersey, 1st Responder Wireless News has also previously acquired the Maryland Fire Network and the National Incident Notification Network. With the completion of these latest acquisitions, including expansion in Canada with purchasing Toronto Fire Net, the company has become one of the largest emergency notification services in the world. "When 1st Responder took its first step into the arena of emergency breaking news notification about a year ago, we did so with the mission of building the most comprehensive, professional alert system in the nation,"said Joseph P. Belsito, President & CEO of Belsito Communications, Inc., the parent company of 1st Responder Wireless News. "While we continue to raise the bar with our cutting edge technology, we have not lost sight of the fact that our system is a home to the best dispatchers in the country who welcome being a part of a professional system that appreciates their hard work and lets them enjoy being a scanner enthusiast by providing them the best tools in industry. "Belsito added that 1st Responder Wireless News continues to negotiate acquisition and licensing opportunities with other emergency notification services across the country and expects more activity in 2006. "We are committed to providing our customers with the most comprehensive coverage in the nation, and our dispatchers a professional, fun and exciting atmosphere," Belsito said. "Our system has come a very long way in a relatively short period of time and I can confidently say the best is yet to come."
