In 1994, two Australian fire fighters died at what became known as the Southport Honda Fire. Recommendations following a coronial inquiry into the incident referred specifically to the inadequacy of communications systems.</p> <p>These findings prompted two fire fighters to approach Innotech Controls' Managing Director, Steve Miranda, in 2001 with a proposal to design and develop systems to improve existing fire-ground communication. </p> <p>Innotech embarked on a two and a half year, $2.3 million project to develop the Innotech Guardian Safety System. Innotech contributed 50% of the funding to this project, with the Australian Commonwealth Government contributing the remaining 50% through <a href="http://www.ausindustry.gov.au/Pages/AusIndustry.aspx" target="_blank">AusIndustry s R&D Start program</a>.</p> <p>The result of this research and development is a product now known as Innotech Guardian Comms that has been in production since early 2005. Fire fighting professionals have been heavily involved with the testing of Guardian Comms to ensure the product not only met Innotech s stringent criteria, but more importantly that it will continue to meet requirements of operational fire fighters.</p> <p>Feedback from end users has been exceedingly positive, with an overwhelming majority of those who have evaluated the gear displaying enthusiasm about the product s comfort, performance and ease of use. As a result, Innotech has received orders for a significant number of Guardian Comms products.</p> <p>Whilst Guardian Comms improves communication and safety in hostile environment situations such as fire fighting, there are applications in many other markets where communication in high noise, hostile environments is necessary. For example; marine, manufacturing, mining, energy and defence.</p> </td> <td width="29%" valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <div align="center"> <img src="images/box2.jpg" alt="Innotech and Guardian Premises" width="208" height="173"></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> &nbsp; </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center"> <img src="images/box3.jpg" alt="Guardian Comms in action" width="208" height="173"></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> &nbsp; </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center"> <img src="images/box1.jpg" alt="Fire Fghters in Action" width="208" height="173"></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> &nbsp; </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center"> <img src="images/box4.jpg" alt="Speaker Microphone and Connector" width="208" height="173"></div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="25" colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <div style="height: 20px;"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FF0000"> <td height="30" bgcolor="#CC3300"> <div align="right"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FF0000"> <td height="15" colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"> <div align="right"> <a href="http://www.innotech.com.au" target="_blank"> <img src="images/logo_innotech.gif" alt="by Innotech" width="225" height="79" border="0"></a></div> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td height="15" colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"> <div align="center"> </div> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FF0000"> <td height="25" colspan="2" align="left" valign="middle"> <div align="center"> <font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Copyright &copy; 2010 Innotech Guardian Safety Systems.
