Mass Notification from Inova Solutions

Emergency Notification and Campus Safety

Nothing is more important than campus safety, and colleges and universities must be prepared to deliver emergency notification messages at a moment's notice. That's why emergency managers at top universities like Virginia Tech trust Inova Solutions to be part of their mass notification system.

Inova's reliable emergency alert system utilizes LED displays to broadcast informational and directional messages during a crisis. The displays fill an important gap in many school's emergency notification strategy by reaching groups in classrooms, libraries, and other captive spaces where cell phone use/text messaging is often not permitted.

When not in use for an emergency, Inova's emergency alert system can be used for routine announcements such as bus schedules, event reminders, or other official school business. The signs also offer a synchronized time and date display, bringing daily value to your campus community.

Some of Inova's mass notification displays are powered by your network, which reduces energy consumption, increases system security, and eliminates the need for costly and cumbersome AC outlet installation.

The Need for Effective Mass Notification

"The principle need at the core of any mass notification system is to effectively communicate vital information instantly. The severity of this requirement has become more evident in recent years with a rise in campus violence across the country. As a result, higher education and law enforcement communities have united in their commitment to create a more secure environment with the proper mass notification tools in place should an incident occur."
