The Genesis Group Keeps Folks Talking
business, communications, the genesis group,
Communication is of paramount importance to police officers‚ firemen and hostage negotiators. And public safety personnel all over the world can be more confident that their messages will be received thanks to a small company in Smith County.
The Genesis Group provides instrumental software to government agencies that use two-way radios for emergency communications; clients span the globe‚ from Australia to Canada‚ from Panama to Saudi Arabia.
The software was first introduced by Motorola to manage the infrastructure between towers used in two-way communications. But The Genesis Group was working on similar software‚ and Motorola turned over its program to the Texas upstarts.
“We’ve taken what Motorola did and put it on steroids‚” says Phil Burks‚ who launched the company in his bedroom in 1989 and now employs 15 at the company’s Tyler headquarters.
Motorola has become The Genesis Group’s biggest customer‚ with clients such as the Fire Department of New York‚ the State of Illinois and the City of Moscow among the benefactors of the software’s capabilities.
