UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Federal Signal
Corporation's Safety and Security Systems Group, a leader in advancing
security and well-being, announced today that Fayetteville State University in
Fayetteville, North Carolina, has deployed a comprehensive Federal Signal
campus safety and security system to alert students, faculty and staff in the
event of unsafe weather or dangerous campus conditions.
With more than 6,000 students, faculty and staff on campus, Fayetteville
State University identified a mission-critical need for campus wide alerting
to keep people safe and secure. The Federal Signal campus safety and security
solution includes an electronic Federal Signal digital siren network that can
produce tone-alerts and voice announcements heard throughout the campus
community. The siren network is controlled by an integrated Federal Signal
siren encoder that enables secure and reliable siren activation by campus
safety officials.
The siren can plug into Federal Signal's Codespear-enabled industry
platform to enable simultaneous activation of sirens and alerting to cell
phones, landline phones, radios, PDA's, pagers, e-mail addresses and other
indoor warning devices. This unique safety and security platform provides
distributed instant messaging and scenario management architecture that
features instant scalability, redundancy and automated fail-over features.
"You want to have as many layers of notification as possible," said Travis
Bryant, public safety director for Fayetteville State University. "Campus
safety is a top priority at Fayetteville State."
"Campus safety and security continues to be a top-of-mind concern for
campus leaders, and Federal Signal offers a robust combination of
interoperable communications software and hardware to extend alerting across
campus communities," said Gregory A. Sink, vice president of municipal and
government systems at Federal Signal's Public Safety Systems Division.
