Original Story
Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Fla., uses AtlasIED and Singlewire to ensure campus-wide alerts reach listeners both indoors and outdoors.
With a campus stretching across 24 acres and four major buildings, the private all-boys Catholic school ensures communications are broadcasted to all on campus by relying on AtlasIED and its IPX Series of IP Endpoints with InformaCast® Mass Notification Software from Singlewire®.
From the opening bell to the moment the last person leaves school grounds, the IPX Series drives communications between everyone on campus, according to a press release from the company. In addition to the daily bell schedules, meditations, announcements, intercom, and prayers, which can be live or pre-recorded and played directly from an administrator’s phone, AtlasIED’s IPX Series incorporates campus safety measures with the help of Singlewire InformaCast integration.
