Waring and Mass Notification Systems

Integrated Communications works closely with towns, cities and municipalities in The South to provide Mass Notification Systems. We have partnered with Federal Signal, the world leader in innovative equipment, signaling products and communication and security systems that keep workers, first responders and our communities safe and secure.

CommanderAssist, Mass Notification Dynamic Messaging Software

CommanderAssist, Mass Notification Dynamic Messaging Software

Having an emergency notification system is important to organizations. Having the right multi-layered emergency notification system is critical to people’s safety, protection of property, surrounding communities and your operation’s continuity. With numerous disparate systems ranging from indoor public address, outdoor warning, radios, cell phones, landlines and computers, it can be a challenge to notify the right people at the right time with the right message. Federal Signal’sCommanderAssist™, a single on-premise platform for all critical communications, can help protect life and property, meet regulatory requirements, and improve operational efficiencies.

CommanderAssist™ enables Emergency and Security Managers to send alerts that comply with their emergency response plan. CommanderAssist’s simple interface walks a user through a series of activation screens for an easy dynamic message deployment. The software can be fully integrated to deploy messages with Federal Signal audible and visual signals, outdoor sirens, or computers,phones and land mobile radios.

SIU SmartMsg Sensor Interface Unit

SIU SmartMsg Sensor Interface Unit

Federal Signal’s Sensor Interface Unit (SIU) enhances SmartMsg notification capabilities by connecting to and controlling external devices and third-party equipment. An SIU automatically initiates predefined SmartMsg alerts by sensing changes in dry contact closure status resulting from a panic button or alarm system activation, PLC equipment failure, motion-sensor detection, pre-designated temperature sensor settings, etc. Opto-isolated inputs enable each SIU to sense and monitor 16 different external devices simultaneously. Upon activation, predefined SmartMsg alerts assigned to each relay input can be sent to notify individual users or groups.

SIUs provide the ability to simultaneously control and activate up to four devices or equipment through receipt of a SmartMsg alert or activation of the relay through SmartMsg CenterPoint software. The four output relays, which provide normally open or closed contacts, support tasks ranging from turning
lights on/off to activating alarm systems, strobe lights, sirens, door locks and a host of other devices and equipment.

An SIU also enables SmartMsg users to be instantly notified of changes in the status of equipment and devices at local and remote locations. A single SmartMsg alert can activate multiple SIUs in support of multi-site notifications, thereby making it the ideal solution for large industrial complexes, healthcare facilities, schools and university campuses and office buildings.

RadioLink™/RIU/RIU+

RadioLink™/RIU/RIU+

SmartMsg RadioLink blends communications interoperability, alert notification, secure urgent messaging, and interactive data sharing into a seamless, stationary and/or portable software package. This approach to interoperable communications produces a complete solution which provides critical communications support for emergency preparedness and response, command and control, incident response, and continuity of operations across jurisdictions, agencies and first responders. Each of these capabilities can be used independently, or they can be used in conjunction to deliver a comprehensive, highly flexible, cost effective and easily expandable communications system.

RUI Radio Interoperability Unit

The SmartMsg RIU features embedded VoIP architecture to support simultaneous broadcast of text and voice alert notifications to two-way VHF and UHF radios, pagers, PA systems and other PTT devices, as well as cell phones, landlines, PCs and wireless PDAs. The RIU supports radios from different manufacturers across multiple bands and frequencies (including shortwave and P25 digital), and pre-defined talk groups. The SmartMsg RIU is a compact hardware appliance used with a standard PC running the SmartMsg Radiolink application. The SmartMsg Radiolink application automatically recognizes the presence of the RIUs and any connected radio. All devices are connected to the RIU via Federal Signal’s patented SmartCables, which identify the cable’s chip ID, the agency owning the cable and radio model settings. The cables automatically configure radio and agency-specific communications settings to ensure network security, and the VoIP architecture effectively enables each radio as a secure virtual repeater.

RIU+ Radio Interoperability Unit

The added processing capacity of a PC in a compact package. The integrated CPU delivers the necessary performance to run the SmartMsg server and RadioLink software on a Microsoft Windows® 7 system. Connectivity is provided via Ethernet, which allows remote radio systems to be linked into the SmartMsg system. Direct communication for notification is provided with the ability to bridge or conference other devices for real-time communications. The RIU+ features the same 4 port radio capability as the standard RIU but does not require a user-provided PC. The RIU+ can be either desk or 19” rack mounted.
