Promising Interoperable Communications Technology Company, Link Communications in Lockwood Finds Enough Challenges

With proprietary technology that could launch his company into becoming a major player in the communication’s industry, Link Communications http://www.link-comm.com in Lockwood offers huge potential for the Billings economy. One would expect that owner Allan Overcast might be buoyant in jubilation, but instead he worries that bureaucracy, regulations and preferential treatment for well-established, large corporations may squeeze out his new technology from competing for Homeland Security contracts.

To say that the technology that the 39-year-old entrepreneur has developed is timely is an understatement. Link Communications offers products which allows inter-operability between basic communication systems, as well as portable units that will work in the field.

Cities, counties, states and countries around the world are clamoring for a means of allowing their non-compatible radios and systems to communicate with each other. The inability of the police to communicate with the fire department was, after all, the primary failing that resulted in so many deaths of firemen during the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center. In fact, countries in South East Asia, which were impacted by the devastating tsunami, have been in contact with Overcast, seeking his products to aid in dealing with the aftermath of tragedy. Also — during a mock emergency exercise in Yellowstone County last summer, the inability of local emergency services to communicate with each other was revealed as a critical problem.
