Through instant, well-directed live or pre-recorded voice messages, the AlertWave system instructs people how to behave in a variety of emergency situations. The AlertWave system can operate as a stand-alone unit, or be integrated with other existing facility systems as Fire/Alarm, Access Control, Biological & Chemical detection , Public Address systems and more. The AlertWave system provides a cost effective, wireless solution to applications ranging from simple wireless Public Address implementations, to a fully customized, network capable wireless mass notification and personnel alert system.
