TASER Technology in the News
Posted by Hilary Gibeaut
There’s been a lot of buzz out there lately about some of the new technology that TASER International is introducing this year. Our CEO and founder, Rick Smith, recently introduced the world to the TASER® AXON™ and EVIDENCE.com™ in a series of webcasts (found here).
But that’s not all we’ve got going on. In addition to AXON and EVIDENCE.com, we’ve been hard at work finding new ways to employ the NueroMuscular Incapacitation technology that TASER is best associated with. We’ve been in the process of preparing products like the TASER® Shockwave™ and TASER® XREP™ for market. Even though these products won’t be available until the third or fourth quarter of this year, the buzz is building. Here are few of the highlights:
Don’t Tape Me, Bro! — Aaron Rowe from Wired.com covered AXON and EVIDENCE.com on the day of the announcement.
TASER enters the data (business) – Lindsey J. Bertomen from PoliceOne gives his perspective on AXON and EVIDENCE.com.
Engadget imagines the effect AXON could have on the television show COPS.
Scott over at Spartan Cops put together a fantastic breakdown of AXON and EVIDENCE.com.
Mark Wilson from Gizmodo and commenters muse about the possibility of an AXON for consumers.
The New Scientist (a U.K.-based technology publication) caught wind of the XREP and wrote this post.
