After an alert is inputted into the activation software, how is the data relayed to the Alert Beacons?

There are four methods of communication:

• Wired Ethernet with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
• Wireless WiFi/802.11
• Wireless FM Radio Broadcast Data Subcarrier (RBDS)
• Wireless Paging Carrier

Ethernet with PoE is most common, and hence the standard model Alert Beacon. Customers appreciate the two-way connectivity which offers extensive system monitoring capabilities. Also, it is the least complex and quickest to deploy.

Customers may select a hybrid system utilizing multiple communication methods for various Alert Beacons across their facilities. Alternatively, individual Alert Beacons may be ordered with a hybrid configuration for redundancy.
