Advanced Mass Notification Systems and Solutions
Communicate, Notify, and Save Lives with LRAD
Enhancing public safety during emergency situations is a critical priority in today’s increased threat environment.
Severe weather, fire emergencies, uncertain military situations, and other critical situations pose significant challenges for authorities tasked with managing public safety.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY > SUPERIOR INTELLIGIBILITY
Based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Military United Facilities Criteria (UFC) guidelines, the minimum standard for high-powered speaker array (HPSA) mass notification systems is a 0.5 speech transmission index (STI) measurement.
LRAD ONE VOICE systems feature the highest STI rating in the mass notification industry at 0.95, substantially exceeding all FEMA and UFC voice intelligibility requirements.
Optimized to the primary human hearing range of 1-5 kHz, LRAD's advanced driver and wave guide technology broadcasts voice messages with 360° uniform area coverage. By maintaining a smooth frequency response with an intensity variation of less than 5dB, LRAD has overcome the limitations of other mass notification systems by preventing audio fading and producing clear, unambiguous communication across all broadcast frequencies.
LRAD Command & Control software remotely activates and controls individual speakers or defined speaker groups, streams live or prerecorded voice messages, and remotely monitors speaker health and status through several communication options including, TCP/IP, fiber, Wi-Fi, digital or analog radio, Ethernet, hard wire or satellite.
Superior Voice Intelligibility
Based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Military United Facilities Criteria (UFC) guidelines, the minimum standard for high-powered speaker array (HPSA) mass notification systems is a 0.5 speech transmission index (STI) measurement.
LRAD ONE VOICE systems feature the highest STI rating in the mass notification industry at 0.95, substantially exceeding all FEMA and
UFC voice intelligibility requirements.
When life threatening incidents occur, individual and community safety is the highest priority. All individuals must be alerted and safety protocols quickly implemented and followed.
Standard mass notification systems are limited in loudness, range and vocal clarity. LRAD systems use advanced mass notification technology to broadcast warning tones and voice messages with exceptional intelligibility from close range out to 5,3 km2.
LRAD systems ensure warnings and lifesaving notifications are simultaneously heard and clearly understood over wind and background noise to provide a superior communications capability for crisis situations.
advanced Mass Notification Solutions
Before LRAD entered the emergency warning mass notification market, highly intelligible voice communication was not available. Standard mass notification installations sound sirens to warn, but nearly all are incapable of broadcasting highly intelligible voice messages containing critical information about the severity, location and expected duration of an emergency, and potentially lifesaving directions. Emails, automated phone calls, text messages, social media and other emergency notification measures are only effective if directories are continually updated

applications
► Mass Notification
Revolutionary LRAD ONE VOICE systems are advanced mass notification solutions that broadcast warning sirens and exceptionally intelligible voice messages to protect and save lives.
► SEVERE WEATHER
LRAD ONE VOICE systems warn and communicate emergency weather information to populations not receiving automated phone calls, emails, text messages, and other emergency notification measures by broadcasting attention-commanding warning sirens and extraordinarily clear voice messages up to 5,3 km2 from a single installation.
► reliable emergency communication
When major disasters strike and existing infrastructure is disrupted and compromised, portable and self-contained LRAD ONE VOICE communication systems are an essential tool for maintaining civil order, conducting search and rescue operations, and providing relief distribution — a must-have capability for emergency responders.
► MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY EMERGENCY WARNING
Standard community emergency warning systems sound sirens to alert of approaching danger, but are incapable of clear voice broadcasts announcing the severity, location and duration of the situation. LRAD ONE VOICE systems combine warning sirens with highly intelligible broadcasts to provide information and instructions during preparedness exercises and emergencies.
► OUTDOOR P.A. AND EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
Enhancing public safety during large events and emergency situations is a critical priority for authorities tasked with keeping large outdoor events secure and peaceful. LRAD ONE VOICE mass notification systems broadcast highly intelligible voice messages and provide a superior capability to communicate live or recorded messages to large crowds in any language.
► CAMPUS P.A. AND EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION
Severe weather, active shooter incidents, bomb threats, hazardous material events and other crisis situations highlight the need for improved campus communication and emergency notification systems. LRAD ONE VOICE systems warn and communicate critical information to students, staff and faculty not receiving automated phone calls, emails, text messages, social media and other emergency notification measures.
► HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE AND RELIEF
When major disasters strike, existing infrastructure is disrupted and compromised, power and communication systems may fail, rural areas can become isolated and urban streets impassible and dangerous. Reliable communication with the public is a must-have capability for first responders. Portable LRAD systems go anywhere communication is needed.
