NORWALK, Conn., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Defentect Group, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: DFTC) , a developer and provider of rapid response software applications for the threat detection industry, announced today the Company's newest initiative that incorporates Defentect's intelligent messaging software with SmartPhone technology for use in commercial and security related applications. Defentect's recent shift in corporate focus from radiation detection to rapid response software has opened the door to many revenue generating vertical markets, such as the billion dollar SmartPhone industry. These vertical markets incorporate the robust architecture of Defentect's proprietary DM3(TM) software, allowing the same technology that can protect cities and municipalities from a dirty bomb to also safeguard multiple resources across a broad spectrum of society.
"This newest addition to Defentect's suite of products is a direct result of the Company's recent restructuring efforts. We have identified a market segment that can directly benefit from the power of our DM3(TM) technology and applied that knowledge to develop a product to serve the rapidly growing SmartPhone industry," commented James Ackerly, CEO of Defentect Group, Inc.
According to International Data Corporation, a global provider of market intelligence for a variety of technology segments, the worldwide SmartPhone market reached a new record level of 54.5 million units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 39% from the same quarter of 2008. Vendors shipped a total of 174.2 million units for the full year in 2009.
"Our research has indicated that just as the computer transformed personal and professional lives in the recent past, the SmartPhone is the next generation of transformative gateway technology. Defentect is poised to take advantage of this opportunity, implementing our platform for various public safety avenues. That is what Defentect is all about," Ackerly went on to say.
Currently, there are several applications in the development and testing phases. Defentect anticipates making the application available to marketing partners and individual iPhone users in the coming weeks. The Company intends for future versions to be compatible with additional "smart" devices.
