Mass Notification Systems become the new “Alarms”

But MNS is transitioning as well

Historically – MNS were Sirens and PA systems

Modern

Mass Notification systems unifies four key notification modalities

:

Network Alerting System (“NAS”): utilize the internal IP network for alerting on desktops via popup notification, emails, BlackBerry devicesOn-Premise Telephony Alerting (TAS): utilize internal telephony system (preferably VoIP/Unified Comm) for phone alertingHosted TAS: utilize the public telephony infrastructure for phone alerting or text-messaging (SMS) on cell phonesPublic Communication Devices: utilize sirens, speakers, PA systems, digital signage, radio and other non-personal public address devicesWhat is Net-Centric Mass Notification SystemUnified Net-CentricMNSSlide7

Key Market DriversEvents Drive Significant AwarenessMajor events: 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Virginia Tech, Madrid & London attacks and most recently Bombay attack.

“Global War on Terrorism”

Technology Maturity

IP technology is no longer a “bad word” in the safety and security world

Stability, scalability, security and redundancy reached sufficient level

Regulations and Standards

Homeland Security Act; Alerts Act of 2008Military: UFC, AFI, ATFPFederal: FCC, FEMA, OSHA, ADA, EAS (IPAWS), NFPAEducation: Campus Law Enforcement Emergency Response Act of 2007 Slide12

NFPA 72 Code2010 – Chapter 24

National Fire Protection Association

Military customer demands drive standards to public sector

UFC incorporated siren-based MNS, which was later adopted by NFPA

UFC incorporates NCAS, which is expected to lead to NFPA adoption

NFPA currently working to update Code, incorporating NCAS and MNS by 2010

Recent update incorporates Network-Centric Alerting Systems (NCAS) as a recommended supplemental capability to fire-safety systems

Added due to customer adoption

First step to becoming part of the standardSlide16
