Alertus is a pioneer and leader in emergency mass notification for large area, high occupancy facilities. In a crisis, our award-winning technologies enable people to be empowered with localized lifesaving alert notifications. Occupants are instantly notified with computer desktop alerting, wall-mounted Alert Beacons (unique patented notification appliance with integrated flash sounder and message display), amplified text-to-speech voice speaker arrays, digital signage override, IP phones, cable television override, and seamlessly integrated fire alarms. Alertus' in-building mass notification technologies integrate with leading personal recipient outcall systems and outdoor wide area sirens and giant voice, for easy unified activation. Alertus Technologies was founded in 2002 out of the University of Maryland after a tornado ripped through the campus taking two students lives without sufficient warning. Over the past decade, the Alertus Notification System has been implemented worldwide at hundreds of campuses, hospitals, bases, government buildings, and corporate and industrial sites.
