Haifa, Israel, February 21, 2018 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT and TASE: ESLT) (“Elbit Systems” or “the Company”) announces that it will be showcasing for the first time at the Mobile World Congress, taking place in Barcelona from February 26 until March 1, 2018. Visitors to the Company’s booth (Hall 2 #2E50) will be able to view a demonstration of WideBridge™, an innovative, proven and secure, immediate communication solution for small and medium businesses.
WideBridge is comprised of proprietary technology that enables Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to provide organizations with an immediate secure communication service over LTE/3G/WiFi networks. WideBridge enables MNOs to offer Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) communication, enhanced with Voice, Video and Map activated services. Integrated into the business’ operational processes and organizational information technology systems, WideBridge facilitates group collaboration among people and devices.

Tested by first responders in homeland security and crisis management events, WideBridge is a field proven system that draws on Elbit Systems’ decades of experience in communication systems. Pelephone, a leading Israeli MNO, has recently integrated Elbit Systems’ WideBridge into its core network and initiated a large scale user trial of an advanced PoC based organizational communication service package that includes group video calls, conversation recording, web-camera connectivity and the presentation of user location on a digital map.
