>> eDispatches’ PHONE APPS for Android and iPhone allow recipients to have their smart phone operate similar to a voice pager with stored voice. Departments that deploy the eDispatches system can have their members download our apps for free. When a call is dispatched, the speaker on the phone opens up with an alert tone followed by the actual audio dispatch. Recipients are also able to control their personalized settings from the app itself. eDispatches is totally automated and does not require your dispatcher to be involved at all. Free 30-day trial for all departments. www.edispatches.com. (973) 453-5810.

>> True North®’s MOLLE POUCH ATTACHMENT feature comes on the waist-belts of their NFPA-certified load-bearing equipment: Spyder Gear, Fireball, and Firefly packs. MOLLE is a newer system first used for tactical gear that uses rows of heavy-duty nylon PALS (pouch attachment ladder system) webbing to allow attachment of compatible pouches and accessories. PALS consists of webbing sewn onto the load-bearing equipment, corresponding webbing and straps on the attachment, then the straps are interwoven. The design offers advantages, especially for heavy items like the fire shelter, by keeping the accessories securely close to the belt. www.truenorthgear.com. (800) 873-5725.

With the new firmware enhancements offered on the newly redesigned fire pager, fire departments can have all the advantages traditionally offered by Swissphone fire pagers with an operating method with which their personnel are familiar. www.swissphone.com.
