Lextech Labs’ iRa C3 Wins Chicago Innovation Award

Lextech Labs’ iRa C3 video surveillance software recently received the Chicago Innovation Award in a ceremony at the Goodman Theater in Chicago.

The Chicago Innovation Awards, established in 2002, highlight winners’ innovations that are uniquely filling unmet needs, spark a competitive response in the marketplace, exceed market expectations, achieve financial success and improve people’s lives.

“Winning the Chicago Innovation Award is such a honor for our company,” said Jeff Gibson, president of Lextech Labs. “We felt strongly that we had delivered a solution that is protecting lives and changing the way surveillance systems are used. By winning this award here in Chicago where we are based, allows Lextech Labs to stand proud amongst other Chicago based company winners like Abbott Labs, Molex, and Motorola.”

iRa C3 unlocks the full potential of video surveillance by distributing realtime video to the people that need it the most. It is the preferred mobility viewing and control solution for security and crisis response teams throughout the world. iRa C3 products provide realtime situational awareness to facilitate communication and time-sensitive decision making.

"We are proud to select Lextech Labs and the iRa C3 as a winner of the 2010 Chicago Innovation Awards,” said Tom Kuczmarski, founder and co-chair of the Chicago Innovation Awards. “Through its innovative approach that combines technology and security, Lextech Labs is a company that exemplifies the creative spirit that drives innovation in the Chicago region."

Apps are available for the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Blackberry. UNIX, Linux, Mac and Microsoft Windows based web browsers also serve as team viewing platforms. iRa C3 was developed by the Lextech Global Services engineering team.
