Alert Notifier

How it works:

1. E-911 Dispatcher transmits paging tones followed by voice description of incident and location (20-30 seconds, typ.)
2. SafAlert decodes paging tones, records voice audio, then sends alert message with audio attachment to specific personnel paged (10-20 sec.)
3. Responders receive MMS message on mobile phone, play back recorded message (30 sec.)

SafAlert™ Notifier listens for specific tones, then alerts users in several different ways as desired. Visual and audible local alarms get attention on site, and email and MMS (mobile) alerts may be delivered to almost any cell phone or computer within seconds.* Recorded dispatch audio may be attached to emails for instant replay on mobile phone or office computer.

Many individuals live, work and travel in areas where radio coverage is limited, or don't carry a pager. It's all to easy to miss a critical call, especially in rural areas, even when wearing your pager. SafAlert™ MMS/SMS notification can bridge the communications gap and help prevent missed calls. You can even receive pages from another city, state or country.

Cellular networks have far greater coverage than any 2-way radio system, and include an automatic store-and-forward system for text / MMS messages. If you do happen to be in a "dead spot" when the message is sent, the cell carrier's server will hold the message until you are back in range of a tower, then deliver it immediately.* If there are any reception errors, you phone will request the missing data be repeated until the entire message is received perfectly. It's a very robust system.
