AtHoc Connect is timely for the DHS given the President's signing of H.R.615: the DHS Interoperable Communications Act on July 6, 2015. In part, AtHoc Connect answers requirements included in HR 615 to "...achieve and maintain interoperable communications among the components of DHS, including for daily operations, planned events, and emergencies."

"TSA is acting with great speed and foresight," said Rear Admiral Robert E. Day Jr. Retired Former CIO of the US Coast Guard and a member of AtHoc Advisory Board. "Bringing these alert and accountability systems to over 200 of our nation's major airports, as well as TSA headquarters, regions and National Coordination Centers is a great step towards a comprehensive, national protection network."

"We are proud that critical DHS agencies such as TSA have selected AtHoc as the foundation for these important initiatives," said Dubhe Beinhorn, Vice President of AtHoc's Homeland Security and Government Group. "DHS component agencies singularly and collectively have a tremendous responsibility to create the systems that keep America safe. We are proud and honored to support their mission."
