Genasys Inc. Reports Increasing Demand for CONNECT in Wake of “Signalgate”

Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader In Protective Communications, today announced increasing interest and orders for CONNECT, the company’s fully compliant, mission-critical communications platform for government and law enforcement.

“Greater demand for CONNECT has been spurred by the ‘Signalgate’ controversy, where several members of the federal government used the Signal messaging app for sensitive information sharing,” said Chief Jeff Halstead (Ret.), Genasys Senior Director of Strategic Accounts. “Since the controversy, we are experiencing increasing demand for CONNECT information, demonstrations and orders from public safety leaders in small towns and large metro areas across the United States.”

To date, strong order demand and contract renewals have grown CONNECT coverage in 41 states and more than 500 agencies, with other states and multiple agencies in deployment trials.

“Many public safety leaders now understand the importance and legal requirements of owning and controlling Interactions when planning and responding to crisis events,” Chief Halstead continued, “During the last two weeks of national protests, I was contacted by more than a dozen police chiefs thanking me for helping them elevate their communication networks. Through CONNECT, many of them were able to regionally respond to mass protests in just a few minutes.”

CONNECT Platform Advantages

• All messages and data are fully owned and controlled by the agency (Genasys has no access to data, chats, or information)
• Fortified Team chats where it is impossible for any person to be mistakenly added
• Nothing can be deleted or altered to maintain compliance
• Unlimited data sharing, photos, videos and documents
• Screenshot protection
• No push/share features prevent secure communications from being posted on social media
• All persons added to CONNECT are logged and tracked (they can only be added by sending an encrypted invitation directly to them)
• All data, chats and attachments are owned by the agency and can be easily reviewed in 30 seconds

Encrypted communications platforms like Signal are designed to allow users to hide or delete communications. Using CONNECT, a fully compliant encrypted communications platform specifically created for governmental operations, local, state, and federal governments/agencies can avoid the problems and fallout created by using non-FOIA-compliant consumer apps.
