WHAT'S NEW

ATI To Provide Washington State University With Emergency Warning System
(June 14, 2007)

Acoustic Technology Inc., ATI, has been awarded the contract to provide a new Emergency Warning System on the Washington State University campus. The new system boasts a redundant wireless communication system as well as back up power incase the campus looses electricity. The benefit to having a warning system in place is the ability to alert the student body and personnel of any threat quickly while maintaining order. The new system has the ability to provide clear intelligible voice to the

entire campus quickly and efficiently.

The new system will include UHF radios that will send secure data between the new outdoor High Power Speaker Stations, HPSS, located on building tops and the Central Control Unit, CCU, located at the campus emergency operating center. The redundant back up telephone communication system will activate the HPSS in the event the university looses the wireless communication link. The high power speaker stations can go without electricity for up to a week and still activate for a half hour on back up battery power alone.

The University has purchased five HPSS and has a completion date of August 2nd 2007, just in time for the fall semester.
