International Police Technologies, Inc. announces union with Gateway Systems
Tulsa, Oklahoma — International Police Technologies, Inc. (IPT) at http://ww.policetechnologies.com, a Oklahoma state based manufacturer of in-car video systems, announced today an agreement whereby Gateway systems will become their official supplier for all hardware needs. IPT will be working directly with Gateway systems, to purchase servers and work stations to be used for IPT’s versatile VisionHawk™. The VisionHawk™ is a server-based, digital video recording system that gathers, transfers, stores and retrieves evidence. No other system provides law enforcement and court officials with better control or easier, faster management of critical evidence.
“This is a win-win situation for IPT since Gateway is the second-largest direct personal computer (PC) vendor. So we know, or more importantly, our customers know, that they are receiving state-of-the-art hardware,” says Kevin McDugle, Director of Sales for IPT.
VisionHawk™ digital technology brings many distinct advantages to law enforcement agencies: flexible operation, ruggedness, easy-to-use and complete security. And now, with IPT’s union with Gateway systems IPT gains a service oriented partner to help guarantee our customers the highest quality equipment possible.
