Campus Emergency Notification System
When a disaster strikes - such as a chemical explosion in one of your laboratories, truck bombing in the university sports stadium or a category 5 hurricane slowly moving across campus – how will you notify your students, faculty and staff?
Whether it’s a small, contained corporate campus or sprawling university grounds, an effective and reliable Campus Mass Notification System (MNS) is vital to the safety and security of your students, staff and faculty. For your dynamic environment, you need an MNS that can:
-
Provide campus alerting - an alert to the campus population as quickly as possible
-
Alert and inform the campus population in multiple areas with different instructions that could change rapidly
-
Provide a means of communications under extreme conditions such as a power outage and/or downed telephone service.

Cooper Notification's WAVES (Wireless Audio Visual Emergency System) and TACWAVES (Tactical WAVES), a portable system, are designed to alert, warn and inform people of what to do in an emergency or disaster. The campus warning system broadcasts safety sirens, live and recorded voice messages and visual alerts via secure networks that continue to operate during a disaster. Those in immediate danger areas whether indoor or outdoor can be alerted quickly and accurately. From speaker sirens to indoor speakers and from strobes to LED display signs, WAVES can send emergency messages in a variety of formats.
Another way to broadcast messages is through RSAN, a high-speed emergency notification system that automatically contacts persons via text messages, voice calls and emails. |

WAVES is the most reliable, field-proven emergency notification system to serve your campus needs today and in the future.
-
Command and Control (C2). WAVES provides the user a sophisticated, but easy-to-use C2 augmentation capability, enabling emergency and security managers to rapidly alert your students and personnel of imminent danger and efficiently control their response before, during and after a man-made or natural disaster.
-
Indoor and Outdoor Alerting. WAVES offers both indoor (Individual Building MNS) and outdoor alerting, (Giant Voice/Speaker Siren) as well as Campus-Wide MNS.
-
Regional Control Capability. WAVES can integrate multiple sites into a broader regional control system. WAVES Regional Alerting System provides remote access and control of numerous WAVES from a primary location such as the main campus security office.
-
Secure/Robust Communications. WAVES offers a variety of communications capabilities, both wired and wireless to deliver the necessary voice and data information. MadahCom’s ‘flagship’ communication network is based on its digital Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology with superb anti-jamming capabilities and high immunity to interference, eavesdropping and spoofing as well as protecting the network in the event of a disaster. Other communication solutions include UHF, VHF, POTS, and Ethernet.
-
WAVES is modular, scaleable, and mobile
-
Integration Capability. WAVES has the capability to integrate with Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and other designated C2 systems for improved system management and situation awareness. It can also be integrated with sensor and detection systems, including systems such as weather systems, chemical and biological sensors, intrusion detection, access control and fire alarm panels.
-
Portable Field Units. TACWAVES, containing low and high power mobile speaker systems, offer portable field notification units for operations within disaster areas or temporary events.
-
WAVES can be programmed to display its graphic user interface in any language desired.
-
Remote Activation. Users can remotely access the WAVES base station and activate critical mass notification functions via telephone (including cellular) or a networked computer, as well as local wired/or wireless activators.
-
Zones and Subzones. WAVES sends specific alerting message to the affected areas (zones) as well as notifying the appropriate personnel, whether onsite or offsite. Different messages can be sent to different zones (speakers).
-
ISO 9001:2000 Certification - MadahCom holds the most-advanced certification, representing a strict quality system that meets the requirements of the International Quality Management Standards.
-
WAVES will enable emergency and security managers to ensure that critical information is provided to the right people, at the right time, and in the right manner.
