American Signal Corporation, originally known as ACA or Alerting Communicators of America has been designing and manufacturing warning systems and providing clients with turn-key installation services since 1942. In 1982, we became the first company in the industry to provide a wireless digital supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system called CompuLert™ with over 6000 installations world-wide. The advancements in the siren designs include battery operation, high powered Voice/Sirens, indoor alerting systems and with the experience in the wireless field, American Signal has the expertise to meet virtually any warning system project goal.

Our engineering and system specialists work hand in hand with clients to assist in the development of the project scope, so that we understand and are able to meet the goals of our clients. Our client base includes municipal governments (Village, Town, City, County and entire Countries), industrial facilities, and military bases. When our clients make the decision or commitment to provide their constituents or employees with emergency notification, whether natural disaster or man made, American Signal can take you from start to finish. We can coordinate efforts from needs assessments, acoustical surveys and technical proposals, to radio system back-bone studies, installation and service/maintenance contracts.  
In our new production facilities we have the ability to respond to customer lead time requirements quicker and with more consistency than our competition and we would welcome the opportunity to respond to you.
