On October 29, A.U.G. Signals’ TRITON- Intelligent Water Surveillance^TM appeared on the Globe and Mail under a press release titled, “Clean air dealers are cashing in on China’s pollution problem.”

The article illustrates AUG’s successful market penetration in China with its online water quality monitoring system. TRITON has been deployed and is in operation at the 2014 APEC Conference, Beijing, City of Tianjin and City of Lanzhou. As stated, TRITON is capable in conducting online identification and quantification of highly toxic contaminants at concentration levels of up to 10 times below the maximum acceptable concentrations defined by Health Canada, WHO and EPA with a false positive detection rate of approximately 10^-4.

AUG is excited to expand its TRITON- Intelligent Water Surveillance’s reach and implementation across China, providing effective monitoring and security for drinking water. AUG believes in strengthening Ontario’s ties to China with a focus on technological and environmental concerns.

On October 26^th, A.U.G. Signals Ltd. (AUG)’s TRITON Intelligent Water Surveillance^TM appeared on CBC News, “Bad water: Innovative solution for remote northern Ontario First Nations”, acknowledging its significant role in securing safe drinking water for First Nations communities.

Three northern Ontario First Nations have managed to stop boil water advisories in their communities since May because of access to this real-time water quality monitoring system. Deer Lake, Fort Severn, and Poplar Hill First Nations have all spent close to 1,000 days on a boil water advisory in the past decade.

“Historically, what’s happened, is there’s a time delay. When you take a [water] sample, analyze it and get the results to those that can do things about it, it can often mean people are at high risks for a [longer] period of time,” said Barry Strachan, the lead on the Safe Water Project.

Strachan says that outdated processes often lead to boil water advisories. The Safe Water Project provides the technology and support to respond immediately to potential problems.

“We get alerts of adverse water quality events immediately as they happen and it allows us to [advise] or actually attend the situation and fix it in short order,” said Strachan.

The article also demonstrates how the Safe Water Project leads to creating career opportunities and new hopes for young people in First Nations communities.
