Emergency Warning Systems Pty Ltd (EWS) is a privately owned Australian company, which was incorporated in 2000. The core operations of the company include research and development in communications technology, product design and manufacturing, and the marketing and sales of its technologies and communications solutions. The key driver in the formation of EWS was an idea for an emergency warning system product - that provides an innovative solution to facilitate road safety and public safety. The patented invention, known as the GFW-01, addresses how emergency services can warn of emergencies and hazardous events on the road. The Australian Government has recognised these benefits and as a result, has granted EWS government support and funding to facilitate research and development and commercialisation activities. The EWS vision is clear: "To provide the technology to empower the emergency services to instantaneously broadcast messages of danger and thereby reducing the risk to their officers and the people they serve" EWS employs a number of staff with specialist skills in the areas of electronic engineering, technical design (both hardware/software), product development, technical support, sales and marketing, finance and road safety. EWS is committed to creating solutions for its customers that provide an innovative, state-of-the-art capability to disseminate time critical warnings to those in need for the preservation of human life and well-being of society. The company is operated by a competent management team, providing an array of experience and skills which have seen the company advance from its unassuming formation based on an 'idea', to a highly progressive organisation that has achieved a number of significant milestones. The company also utilises the services of several consultants and has relationships with a number of 3rd party suppliers in manufacturing and product development.
