Helius announces new emergency alert system
December 11, 2007
LINDON, Utah — Helius Inc. announced its new MediaSignage with Emergency Alert. The Emergency Alert Module enables security personnel, property managers, crisis management teams and first responders to efficiently communicate with the public in the event of an emergency. Built on the Helius Digital Signage platform, the Emergency Alert Module interrupts the standard communication of the digital sign, and deploys timely and accurate emergency information and instructions.
MediaSignage with Emergency Alert is a dual purpose network of digital screens. During non-emergency periods, the network of digital signs delivers public information, wayfinding details, calendar of events or even advertising. In the event of an emergency, the screens switch from the standard display to emergency notifications and instructions.
"Real-time communications are vital during crisis situations and the ability to use text, graphics and video will greatly enhance those efforts," said Mike Tippets, president and CEO of Helius Inc. "We expanded our core platforms and delivered a visual based alert system that can be triggered manually or automatically, speeding the flow of information during critical events."
The Helius MediaSignage with Emergency Alert solution will be available publicly in Q1 of 2008.
