TORONTO, March 12, 2018 /CNW/ - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc.
("iSIGN" or the "Company") (TSXV:ISD) (OTCQX:ISDSF), a leading
provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves
advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies
throughout North America, today
announced it has reached out to the Broward County School Board
with an offer to install its Security Alert Messaging ("SAM")
solution into the Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School in
Parkland, Florida at no cost.
iSIGN's SAM solution is the first of its kind to not only
rapidly alert students and faculty, but also give clear
instructions on the quickest and safest method of avoiding the
threat. While SAM aids in evacuating the premises, it can
also alert police, EMT services, fire departments and other first
responders depending on the nature of the emergency. The solution
can be integrated with existing alarms and other security measures
to ensure that authorities arrive, and school attendees evacuate in
as little time as possible.
As the sixth largest public-school system in the United States with over 270,000 students
in 310 schools and education centers, the company considers
Broward County a prime example of
where the SAM system could demonstrate its effectiveness.
"With such a high concentration of relatively unprotected children
on site, school systems have a higher than normal risk profile as
children do not have the maturity to react wisely to a variety of
possible dangers that can impact any civic environment," stated Mr.
Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief
Executive Officer.
It is expected that a large-scale deployment will showcase the
solution's ability to rapidly alert students and faculty to a wide
range of emergency situations such as an active shooter, intruder
on the premises, or natural event. This pioneering solution is the
first of its kind to not only immediately alert students and
faculty, but also provide clear instructions on the quickest and
safest method of avoiding the threat. While SAM aids in evacuating
the premises, it can also alert police, EMT services, fire
departments and other first responders depending on the nature of
the emergency.
The initial deployment would connect all students and faculty
with cellphones to the SAM system, with the ability to add digital
signage screens, close proximity transmitters, and connection to
hardware-based alarm systems and social media when desired.
