Wireless Campus Mass Notification
|
Everyone knows how important mass notification systems have become in today's campus environment.
If you
are considering installing a system, you have discovered just how complicated a project this can become.
There are several approaches to the design of a mass notification system, and each has both strengths and weaknesses.
One approach is dedicated lines (either copper or fiber) to each subsystem, building or location. The expense of
this approach is obvious (not to mention the disruption of trenching across campus, the parking lots and athletic
fields).
Another approach is the IP solution (use the existing network to provide information transport) —
but will the network be up in the event of a major disruptive event or weather emergency?
A WIRELESS SOLUTION
THREE sigma LLC has designed a system that is independent of the campus infrastructure.
We use the existing licensed radio frequency your department already has, and with digital squelching and addressing, it's
transparent until needed. Each component operates independently, and in the rare event of a failure, does not affect any of
the other system components.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The main control console has a digital message bank which contains up to eight messages,
each up to one minute in length. You can choose from our prerecorded messages, or send us a script and we'll record any
campus-specific message you want. The messages are played sequentially, allowing creation of an event-response sequence.
The system includes supervised battery backup and a bypass switch to allow simplex operation in the case of a repeater failure.

NOTIFICATION COMPONENTS
The notification components are available in indoor and outdoor versions. The indoor
system consists of a radio module and an audio module which will connect to any indoor public address, paging or audio system.
All components are equipped with a battery backup. Outdoor components include an integrated radio module, strobe light in
your choice of 4 colors, several mounting options and 3 optional power choices. A traditional power supply with batteries is
available if the mounting location has full time power available (mounting on the outside wall of a building, for example).
For locations with only part time power (such as parking lots or athletic fields), a night charger allows parking lot or
security lighting to charge the battery set for daytime operation, and has a two-day power reserve. A completely independent
solar charger is available for the most difficult or remote locations.
