Background
• Pioneer and leader in integrated audible visual facility alerting for all hazards
• Founded in 2002 after a tornado ripped through the University of Maryland in 2001 killing two students without warning
• Headquarters in Beltsville, MD
A few of our customers…"The Alertus device really rounds out our multichannel system. This will really give us a robust multichannel communication capacity that I think will place VCU's emergency communications system among the most reliable.“
"The safety of everyone on our campus is, of course, our highest priority. [The Alertus] notification system ensures quick and clear communication in an emergency and is one way we're helping to keep those on our campus safe.“
“The Alertus system has far reaching consequences that affects life, limb, and property for the APG community… [It is] of particular interest by the command group.”
"We particularly appreciated the Beacons' ability to interface with external audio-visual devices such as sirens, strobes, television, and scrolling marquees. We feel that these types of displays are well-suited [for] notifying a portion of our disabled population and complying with ADA requirements...The audible signal emitted from the [Alert] Beacon is distinct from the college fire alarms to minimize confusion."
