How is high-power audio improving mass notification in emergencies?
High Power Audio solutions do not require recipients to sign up, opt-in, or subscribe to hear alerts. If you are within the alerting zone, clear intelligible voice messaging will provide you with instructions on the nature of the emergency and necessary steps to take.
WHAt industries benefit from using high-power audio solutions?
Industrial facilities at risk of man-made or natural emergencies, as well as places like beaches, golf courses, military bases, ports, tunnels, large events, amusement parks, recreation/camps, and just about any outdoor area where people congregate or egress – all are suitable spaces for outdoor High Power Audio. Large indoor areas like manufacturing facilities, fulfillment centers, hangers, storage, and high-decibel production floors are also strong candidates for high-power audio solutions.
What sets Alertus apart when combatting significant challenges in giant voice notification?
Alertus is the original equipment manufacturer of our High Powered Audio equipment, software, Alert Beacon®, and other solutions. We are continually improving, testing, and expanding product lines with our in-house engineers.
From inception, we have taken an open integration approach to assure easy connection and interfacing with other vendor’s solutions. Ultimately, the goal is to quickly send clear messaging across multiple devices to save lives.
What situations might require high-power audio notifications?
Emergencies tend to fall into one of two areas: man-made or natural. Some man-made events include active shooters, terrorist attacks, disgruntled employees/customers, chemical releases, and accidents. Examples of natural disasters include tornadoes, lightning storms, tsunamis, wildfires, and just about any emergency that occurs naturally and is not necessarily the direct fault of a person. Natural disasters tend to be unique based on geography. Some parts of the United States may be more prone to lightning storms and tornadoes, whereas coastal areas, such as the northwestern US, may experience events like Tsunamis.
