BATM announced that it has been awarded a new, expanded five-year order from NGA 911 LLC (NGA) for deployment of the Group's Edgility platform for edge computing in the US. This latest order follows the successful deployment of Edgility under the original purchase order from NGA, as announced on 5 June 2023. The Group expects to receive further orders from NGA as they continue the roll-out of the Group's Edgility solution in the current areas of deployment and expand the roll-out to NGA's network in additional US States.

NGA is using Edgility to deliver the call-handling system for 911 Emergency Services and the 988National Suicide Prevention & Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. By utilising the Edgility platform, NGA is able to run critical applications close to end-users at the edge of the network, which reduces network latency to facilitate enhanced responsiveness, ultra-high availability and faster call resolution times. In addition, Edgility enables the virtualisation of multiple applications on a single small form edge device, reducing the need for additional hardware and significantly decreasing power consumption.
