Protecting Schools, Colleges, K12 with Real-Time Emergency Mass Notification Audio Announcements
Mass Notification for the Masses™
With a rise in potential emergency threats to the campus, schools and colleges are faced with the task of providing emergency response and notifications to staff, students, parents and emergency services. While existing solutions are available, in most cases they are complex, expensive and rely on services from multiple vendors. Supporting legacy systems also impedes development and innovation.
TextSpeak takes a two-tiered approach to Campus Safety and Mass Notification recognizing that all locations are not the same. From smaller K-12 schools, that may only have a basic PA and network system or none at all, to larger college campuses that incorporate existing complex security systems, TextSpeak has redefined and reimagined how to address the many challenges of campus safety with TextSpeak NOTIFY!
