Brian Skocaj: I am Brian Skocaj, I am the vice president, sales and marketing for SecureCom Technologies based at Detroit, Michigan.

Benjamin Higginbotham: Who is SecureCom Technology?

Brian Skocaj: SecureCom is a startup organization. We have been in business for about one year now. We started with a wide range of network security applications, primarily targeting the telecom community. However, recently we developed an application for the cellular/mobile phone market that has applications from the security standpoint as well as that we produced sort of personal freedom on enabling technology that we think as real exciting.

Benjamin Higginbotham: What is that technology? What are you doing in that space?

Brian Skocaj: The technology allows users that is people that have access to PDAs or handsets that are video enabled and data enabled to download in real time video applications from anyone of their cameras or locations in any site that they have installed those applications.

Benjamin Higginbotham: Let’s try real world scenario of that, how would you use this in the actual…

Brian Skocaj: You could think of it in many different applications for example, education and you could extend education down to even pre-school and day care levels, where you are providing users the ability to view events or simply access visibility and transparency into locations from anywhere remotely they are no longer linked to a laptop, there are many applications which I am sure many people have seen, they utilized this type of technology, but they have traditionally required the viewer to be at a laptop or at a PC. What we did is, try to extend that technology in a manner that allowed people to access remotely through a wireless network.

Benjamin Higginbotham: Is this one-to-one technology, is this one-to-many or is it both?

Brian Skocaj: What’s interesting is, the technology that we have in place now, allows up to 100 users to access that video application at any one time and if you think about it in terms of event management, for example, a crisis at an education facility, the government facility even the private environment, it allows numerous people associated with that event management administrators, public safety officials, etcetera to view and manage those events again in real time and communicate as well.

Benjamin Higginbotham: So, you mention a day care application, you are bring it back down to that level, so you could have smart phone of source that is able to receive video has a data connection on it.

Brian Skocaj: Correct.

Benjamin Higginbotham: You have got a camera in the day care facility, so you can watch children all day long whether you are at lunch or at your computer desk, wherever you want to be?

Brian Skocaj: Exactly, so we view this as not only having value to the user, but also to the facility itself, which then has the ability to provide their customers, their consumers, their parents with that level of security freedom and it is incredibly empowering from our perspective in that application.

Benjamin Higginbotham: What about large events? Like right now, we are streaming this live on the Internet, but you do have to be sitting down in front of a computer to be able to see it, let’s say we want to extend that to portable devices, then we have say 2,000 can currently watching it, how do I take care of an event like that?

Brian Skocaj: Well, event like that, if you had for example, the hardware that allows the user to access this, is limited to some extent from a bandwidth standpoint, all ir would take is multiple servers with multiple passwords for users and you could literally extend this to an infinite level in terms of people. So, obviously the next phase is beyond simple applications like building maintenance and straight viewing, you could extend this beyond that to really become empowering and have literally thousands of users engaged at one time, looking at locations.

Benjamin Higginbotham: Let’s take this in the opposite direction, you mentioned a police force having this as crisis management force having this, the only downfall see of this is that, let’s say there is a hurricane that swept through a LAN and you want to have crisis teams going there, that still does require broadband access to your device, does it not, so what if the towers went down?

Brian Skocaj: If the towers went down there could be an issue, but generally there is some redundancy built in those towers, that would allow you from most remote locations to access to some extent. Now, we have tested through beta trails with one of our carrier partners, similar events and it found that literally would need to be in extremely catastrophic event to completely prevent access to the video remotely, so we feel that from the redundancy standpoint, it does provide very good security for the user in terms of that access.
