RAE Systems Introduces Portable Gas Detection with GPS

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA, Nov. 11 -/E-Wire/-- RAE Systems Inc. (OTCBB:RAEE.OB), a Gas Detection and Smart Sensing Network solution provider for environmental, safety and security monitoring, has introduced a global positioning satellite (GPS) option for its existing AreaRAE wireless gas detectors. The new GPS option allows up to 16 deployed sensors to broadcast their exact location the host gas monitor located up to two miles away, in real-time. This provides a major advantage for hazardous material (HazMat) response teams in defining a perimeter as well as protecting personnel and communities by allowing incident commanders to have instant indication of where team members are located and where potential hazards are present.

This new GPS option is available for RAE Systems' existing AreaRAE wireless gas detectors. The AreaRAE is a one-to-five sensor gas detector equipped with a wireless, RF (radio frequency) transceiver which allows the instrument to communicate and transmit readings in real-time to a host-controller. The AreaRAE is the first sensor monitor equipped for wireless data transmission to include a photo-ionization detector for the direct measurement of toxic VOCs. This portable, weather-proof monitor can be operated for up to 24 hours on a single charge. AreaRAE applications include hazardous material (HazMat) and emergency response, confined space entry, plant turnarounds, environmental monitoring, perimeter monitoring, safety and security applications.

Intended for outdoor use only, the AreaRAE GPS option is available now as a factory upgrade to existing AreaRAE monitors for $750.00. The GPS option can also be ordered with new AreaRAE units with pricing dependant on configuration. The GPS Host Software for use within the United States is available for $2,000.

RAE Systems Inc. is a smart sensing network platform and solution provider and a leading manufacturer of single and multiple sensor atmospheric monitors, photo-ionization detectors, gas detection tubes, sampling pumps and wirelessly connected gas detection and security monitoring devices. Our products and services are designed to enable our customers to monitor gas and other volatile organic compounds in confined spaces, and to establish a perimeter security around hazardous material sites and sites of weapons of mass destruction.
