Emergency Communications Systems: How They Are Used On Campuses

HOUSTON, April 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- TechRadium, Inc., in Texas is a leader in supplying cutting-edge emergency notification and response systems for universities and colleges across the U.S.

"Educational institutions today need -- and more and more have -- the latest technologies to help protect their students and faculties in an emergency," John Rodkey, spokesman for TechRadium in Sugar Land, Texas, said.

TechRadium's patented IRIS -- Immediate Response Information System -- alerts thousands of people simultaneously and then receives responses so that it is known that messages have been received.

"Some schools and businesses still try to rely on systems such as telephone trees, phone banks and auto-dialers," Mr. Rodkey said. "These are unreliable and can't be depended on in an emergency. They are time-consuming and a message can arrive late if it arrives at all.

"Immediate response notification systems are faster, more effective and much more cost-efficient than manual systems," he said. "State-of-the-art technology allows us to broadcast messages to large numbers of people in a very short time."

Immediate response notification systems send messages through multiple communications devices including land-line telephones, cell phones, e-mail, pagers, faxes, PDAs, satellite devices, LED signs and virtually any communications device that is connected to the Internet or telephone network.
