From the Governors Campus Security Conference, Omnilert is now partners with Whelen Engineering to enable the Omnilert emergency alert system to broadcast voice announcements over Whelen Mass Outdoor Notification Systems.
This new integration gives campus administrators a centralized interface for announcing emergency information to campus loudspeakers, digital signs, alert beacons, websites, phones, mobile phones, e-mail accounts, and RSS readers accessible to visitors, students, faculty and staff.
The new service enables authorized administrators to use a net-connected mobile phone or PC from any location on or off campus to produce live public address announcements on wall-mounted or roof-mounted outdoor loudspeakers, PA systems, or giant voice systems. Anyone within earshot of the loudspeaker will hear the message, regardless of opting in to the Omnilert system. Certain systems can be heard from a mile away.
