Company History
NetTalon is a privately held company. NetTalon Security Systems, Inc. was incorporated in Virginia in October 1998.
The initial focus of the company was the development and testing of a network-enabled security/fire protection system.
The resulting system provides first responders with real-time emergency information enroute to the emergency.
The company applied for and received three US patents: US 6,281,790 in August 2001, US 6,917,288 in July 2005 and US 6,972,676 in

and demonstrated its products in Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Virginia, Washington, DC and in December 2008 the United Arab Emirates.
NetTalon works closely with First Responders (Police, Fire and EMS) seeking their support for Virtual Command Technology.
To date, First Responders overwhelmingly support the technology for its ability to
