 In News
ASC's i-Force technology will be deployed at several Caribbean islands as part of an advanced mass notification system.

The ASC i-Force siren is being deployed at several Caribbean islands in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Maria. The advanced mass notification system will alert individuals of threats in several languages.

Milwaukee, Wis., June 24, 2020American Signal Corp. has been selected to implement an advanced mass notification system for islands in the Caribbean. The system is designed to alert residents to impending threats.

The $1.6 million dollar advanced mass notification system — paid for primarily with funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA — is designed to continue recovery efforts in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Maria that battered the islands.

The advanced mass notification system includes ASC’s i-Force high-power outdoor warning sirens that will deliver tone alerts and voice messages in multiple languages. The system also includes ASC’s advanced CompuLert™ NEXGen control platform — a simple, intuitive and effective solution to monitor and control emergency siren systems.

In addition to providing local control, ASC’s CompuLert NEXGen interfaces with National Weather Service Alerts and FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert Warning System, or IPAWS, automatically retrieving and activating mass notification devices, quickly providing life-saving information to the public.

To ensure mass notification system security, ASC technologies use encrypted communications. This include providing Advanced Encryption Standard 256 security to prevent any malicious attacks.

“We’re excited for the opportunity to keep residents of these Caribbean islands safe,” said ASC Executive Vice President Richard Roe. “ASC’s secure and advanced mass notification system will provide individuals the information they need to seek shelter when needed. This will ultimately save lives.”
