IMLCORP and Metis Secure Solutions, LLC, Pittsburgh, PA, innovators of emergency notification systems, have teamed to integrate their technologies to create a comprehensive indoor and outdoor emergency notification solution. This solution will enable colleges and universities, military bases, commercial venues, and managers of other public spaces to send and receive emergency warnings with clear, intelligible voice instruction both indoors and outdoors.
With this integrated solution, emergency managers will use the Metis Secure Command Center software to send emergency warnings to Metis Secure alerting devices and/or IMLCORP’s SoundCommander® loudspeaker systems. Both systems are easy to identify and select on the Command Center map-based interface software. Voice messages can be sent in three ways: pre-recorded messages, text-to-speech and live–voice. Working together, they provide the ultimate flexibility to inform and protect people in any situation. The integrated solution shortens the steps necessary to send warnings inside and outside many buildings in seconds.
Mark Kurtzrock, president and CEO of Metis Secure Solutions said, “Both companies passionately believe that intelligible voice instruction is critical to effectively informing and protecting people during an emergency. With this new solution the best indoor and outdoor voice notification is available today in one comprehensive system.”
Stefan Pollack, president and CEO of IMLCORP said, “The integrated solution recognizes the need for multiple communications channels to reach everyone who might be affected by an emergency. Coordinating all messaging through a single, integrated source gives emergency managers the best possible opportunity to reach everyone in one way or another.”
The Metis Secure system is an integrated hardware and software solution that combines comprehensive Command Center software, rapid two-way MS-5100 Alerting Devices and triple-redundant wireless mesh, Ethernet, and FM-RBDS communication technologies to ensure security personnel can communicate to anyone or everyone in seconds - not minutes.
IMLCORP designs and manufactures SoundCommader high-powered public address loudspeakers engineered for clear, highly intelligible voice instructions for mass notification and tactical communications. When combined with the AlertCommander message delivery system, warnings and announcements broadcast by SoundCommander can be automated for greater command flexibility. SoundCommanders also give users the capability to direct it where it is most needed.
