magicomm’s Mercury product is providing the secure medium to transmit the data and guarantee its delivery.” Hollinshead continued, “All of the hard work our technical team have put in, in collaboration with the Police, over the last two years is now bearing fruit. We can see the uptake of our digital pen technology and particularly Mercury employed throughout Police Forces in the UK.  magicomm is also working with Police Forces in India, South Africa, Australia and the U.A.E.
