Emergency Alert System 2.0

by Terrence O'Brien on August 10, 2007 at 04:01 PM

Alert Everyone Everywhere With One ButtonEver since the tragedy at Virginia Tech, more and more companies are making dispersing emergency alerts on college campuses much easier. Virginia-based Omnilert achieves this by leaving no communication device or medium unturned. The company's new e2Campus service allows alerts to be sent to campus Web sites, mobile phones, e-mail addresses, social networking sites like Facebook, RSS feeds, Blackberrys, pagers, and even special electronic billboards -- all with the click of one button.

No additional networking or special hardware is required and clients don't require additional software. The system runs roughly $1 per user per year depending on the number of users covered, and the special e-signage runs $3,195.
