AEGIX AIM: Next-Gen Safety Solutions
DIR-S has teamed up with schools across the nation for COVID-19 support
As the 2020-2021 school year begins, we want to ensure that everyone feels completely prepared for the upcoming school year.
If you are on the 30th floor and have an emergency, DIR-S allows you to notify help within seconds, showing them exactly where to respond to, while notifying those close by to help. Know accurate information all the time, even if the emergency did not start in your department. Everyone stays up-to-date and can make timely decisions to enhance your personal safety and that of your colleagues. The information is shared in one location, to keep everyone informed throughout the emergency. You can update the status of your location and see the status of everyone else in the building to be empowered to act safely and confidently.
When the radio channel is cluttered and phone lines are tied up, you now have a private means to communicate during an emergency and respond to the exact location of an incident. DIR-S peels back the blinders of not being able to see through the walls inside, and gives you a real-time snapshot of your whole building, floor by floor, room by room. You can now monitor any emergency from your desktop, tablet or smartphone as you are walking around. If you receive outside information of a threat, you can notify a floor, building or whole organization of a threat with a click of a button. An efficient and location specific response will save lives and give you added seconds to succeed.
