New Solution for Public Safety Pushes Emergency Alerts to Scrolling LED Displays for Better Reach to Visitors, Staff and Others

Inova Solutions LED wallboard joins Amerilert Network to increase public safety

LEESBURG, VA – July 14, 2008 – Omnilert™, LLC, maker of Amerilert™, a leading provider of emergency notification systems for business and government, announced a new campus security solution that displays alerts on scrolling LED signs. These highly visible LED displays are powered by their network connection using standard Power over Ethernet (POE) technology. The e2Campus compatible LED displays are sold by Inova Solutions, Inc.

“LED signs are notifications you can’t ignore,” says Gerry Gorman, Vice President at Inova Solutions. “You don’t need to sign up or subscribe to anything to read it. They communicate emergency information in areas of high noise with crisp clear messages. They are also considered a green technology as they use less than 12 watts of power and provide a valuable service as network clocks when there are no informational or emergency messages to display.”

It is now possible for authorized officials to issue emergency alerts that simultaneously reach LED displays for all people to see, in addition to high power speaker arrays, PA systems, LCD/plasma signage, alert beacons, web pages, personal and work email accounts, RSS readers, home/office phones, and cell phones as a text message. There is no extra cost for Amerilert clients to push content to these LED signs. Organizations can purchase the wall-mounted LED displays from Inova Solutions by contacting Ted Throckmorton at 434-951-8136 or by visiting www.inovasolutions.com.
