Ambient's Q1 2013 release will include enhancements to:

  -- Options for wildfire detection-range and performance 
  -- Real-time fire-perimeter mapping and tracking, following early warning of
     fire outbreak
  -- Integration of meteorological information, to enhance prediction and
     management of events impacted by weather
  -- Support for collaborative information sharing between field responders and
     operations centers such as Office of Emergency Services and Sheriff's
     Command Centers
  -- Support for GPS-enabled asset locating and tracking within the event area 
  -- Integration of social-media feeds, enhancing community response through
     management of information release enhancing public confidence
  -- Web-based dashboard control via any desktop or portable device using
     Windows, Apple, Android, and Linux operation systems or smartphones

The Poway, Calif.-based company performed extensive testing and analysis of the
system's readiness and robustness in installations of the FireALERT Wildfire
Detection sensors and Vigilys System in Deadwood, South Dakota., and Fallbrook,
California. Additional tests were conducted in conjunction with Ambient's
complementary public-alerting and notification system in Montecito, California. 

The tests were progressively successful in the evolution of the system.
'Ambient FireALERT will give a community the security and peace of mind of
having a fire watchman on duty 24/7 that reports the location of a fire while
still in its infancy stage,' said Ken Hawki, Deadwood Fire Department training
officer. 

FireALERT's tight integration with Vigilys-- a situational awareness emergency
management operating system, provides a real-time, map-based environment that
extends the system from wildfire detection to an all-inclusive system with
feeds from cameras, weather stations, seismic and tsunami detectors. 

Ambient's unique ability to provide sharing of critical information between
multiple agencies involved in any first-response activity recently earned the
company membership as a technology provider in the Unified Incident Command and
Decision Support (UICDS) team. UICDS' objective is to bring the most advanced
information-management technologies to bear on the work of the first-responder
community. UICDS' system-of-systems allows first responders to manage the
interchange of data, voice, and video related to an incident, thereby helping
them prevent, protect, respond, and recover from natural, technological, and
terrorist events. As one of UICDS 100 key industry partners, Ambient's Vigilys
will now be able to share data from a vast array of additional resources by
supporting multi-agency collaboration, greatly enhancing first-responder
performance and safety throughout the response cycle and in the event area
itself. 

Ambient is currently evaluating deployment plans to protect Chinese
government-run timber farms and Israel's forests. 

'Since 1990, Ambient has invested over $14 million in research and development
of the FireALERT and Vigilys systems and has the strength of over 800
shareholders,' said Jonathan Luck, President & CEO of Ambient. Most recently,
Global Private Funding, Inc. (Global) provided funding through their Business
Incubation Program that, according to Jonathan 'allows Ambient to expand the
brand recognition and investor awareness.' Jonathan added, 'Ambient is excited
to receive the full support of Global's staff advisories, as well as debt
financing, foreign investment, connections to industry leaders, and financial
and management oversight channeling Ambient forward.' 'FireALERT is the type of
proactive inland national defense systems that are necessary to protect our
great nation,' said Dr. Sam Senev, Chairman of Global Private Funding.
