Future Axon body cameras will be able to bring wireless connectivity and even location servicesto law enforcement. This could be another feature upgrade that will make the company's product more valuable to law enforcement and the community.

TASER also announced sales agreements for 1,600 body cameras in theU.K. and a body camera and Taser sale to all 7,000 front-line officers in L.A.
