DESKTOP ALERTS AND MORE: IOT ALERTING ACROSS AN ENTIRE NETWORK OF DEVICES
For institutions or companies with thousands of computer stations, laptops, television monitors and other connected IoT devices, connectivity in the event of a threat is paramount.
American Signal Corporation (ASC) answers the call for preparedness with their ASC AWARE notification system, ensuring any internet-enabled device connected to your server is ready to receive notice of a threat if or when one arises.
ASC AWARE notification system supports completely customizable notifications, including text, picture and video.
The ability to template alerts enables emergency managers to pre-load messages into the system, for instant execution in a moment of crisis.
Alerts are triggered as pop-ups or screen-blocking warnings, ensuring they’re seen as soon as they’re issued.
Issue alerts manually from a central command site or pre-program them for automatic distribution on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) feed criteria.
Emergency managers are given complete control in customizing ASC AWARE notification system.
User permissions can be granted at every level of accessibility, with a simple management interface that allows for a variety of pre- and post-alert tasks to be run.
This includes report generation, user permissions setting and backups to a server. Customize the platform with your school or business’ branding for authentic recognition and system integration.
The remote nature of ASC AWARE notification system makes pushing notifications and updates to an entire network easy.
And, with CompuLert™ NEXGen integration, the platform can be leveraged into an already-robust emergency management system with simplicity.
For campuses and geographically-separated worksites, there’s no more effective option for alerting across network-connected devices.
