Mass notification has moved from “nice to have” to mission-critical. Schools, campuses, enterprise offices, hospitals, airports, and municipalities are upgrading systems to reach people instantly—on any device, in any space—when seconds matter. For security integrators, this shift represents one of the most attractive growth markets: platform sales, endpoints, services, and multi-year support contracts all bundled into high-value projects.

Explore how integrating mass communication technology in higher education campuses, such as universities and colleges, can significantly improve campus safety and enrich the learning experience.

Creating a safe, connected, and well-managed learning environment is a top priority for today’s K–12 school leaders. From daily announcements to emergency responses, the way your school communicates can significantly impact safety, efficiency, and the overall student experience.

The benefits of cloud connectivity for hardware and device manufacturers and their customers can be substantial. Yet hardware manufacturers remain understandably hesitant to connect their devices to the cloud – primarily owing to security concerns. What are the key capabilities manufacturers need to effectively secure devices and enjoy the full potential of revenue, functionality and user experience that device connectivity offers?

Martyn’s Law, or the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, aims to ensure UK venues are prepared for terror threats. Named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the 2017 Manchester bombing, the law requires certain public venues to improve security and preparedness. While navigating these requirements can be challenging, AtlasIED offers solutions to help organizations comply and enhance safety.

Modern IP-based intercom systems bolster business operations by enabling real-time two-way video/audio communication, enhancing access control, emergency alerts, and situational awareness. They streamline internal workflows—from paging and customer service to zoned announcements—while integrating seamlessly with security, mass-notification, and access systems. This scalable, high‑clarity solution supports diverse sectors like corporate, healthcare, transportation, and education.

AI‑powered platforms like IntelliSee connect to existing school cameras to detect weapons, aggression, slips, or trespassing in real time—instantly triggering alerts, lockdowns, and communication via PA, intercoms, and mass-notification tools like InformaCast. This automated, data‑driven system enhances school safety by speeding up response, streamlining coordination, and improving documentation while adapting to evolving security needs.

Ensuring the safety and productivity of employees in industrial and manufacturing facilities is paramount. Mass communication security ecosystems can be a game-changer in addressing a variety of challenges, from safety hazards to operational disruptions.

IPX endpoints are network-connected audio/visual IP devices used in mass communication systems in schools, healthcare, and industrial environments to deliver critical messages, alerts, and intercom functionality via speakers, LCD displays, LED flashers, and microphones. They auto-register with systems like InformaCast, offer high speech intelligibility, visual ADA-compliant cues (color/text/flashing), and integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure.

Modern panic button systems offer versatile activation options—wearable badges, wall‑mounted units, desktop buttons, and mobile apps—across settings like schools, healthcare, corporate, and industrial environments. They integrate seamlessly with mass-notification such as platforms like InformaCast, enabling real-time alerts, lockdowns, and two-way communication. This flexibility supports tailored responses, scalability, and compliance with safety mandates.
