Three U.S. Military Bases Collaborate to Share Emergency Mass Notification System and Associated Costs in 'Joint Base San Antonio' Endeavor
SAN MATEO, CA, Apr 19, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
AtHoc, Inc. (www.athoc.com), the pioneer and leader in
network-centric emergency mass notification systems, today announced
the shared deployment of its system in a joint military collaboration
known as Joint Base San Antonio. The system, installed at Randolph
Air Force Base as part of the Air Education and Training Command
AtHoc system, will provide emergency communications support and
protection to an additional 20,000 U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force
personnel located at Ft. Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base (AFB)
and Randolph AFB -- all in the Greater San Antonio area. The
installation provides integrated emergency notifications and alerting
through the telephony systems, computing devices, public address
systems, and other IP-based devices installed on the three bases.
Joint Base San Antonio joins Lewis-McChord, Charleston,
Anacostia-Bolling and McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst as joint-base partners
with AtHoc.
"With AtHoc IWSAlerts, we have near real-time, multi-modal alerting
and mass notification capabilities that can be precisely targeted to
various groups of personnel on one, two, or all three bases within
minutes of an emergency event, all from a single centralized
web-based command console," said Vincent R. Bain, IT program manager
for the 502nd Air Base Wing in Ft. Sam Houston, the headquarters
responsible for administration and oversight of the three
installations in the Greater San Antonio area. "The system's highly
secure, private cloud-based architecture provides critical
operational and budgetary efficiencies in the expansion of our Air
Education Training Command (AETC) system through this shared
infrastructure model across the three bases."
"The vast majority of Air Force and Army units are using our solution
to fulfill military requirements for force protection, recall,
critical communications, and personnel accountability for over 2
million members of the federal government and U.S. armed forces
around the world," noted Andy Anderson, AtHoc vice president of
business development, defense sector. "Military commands throughout
the world benefit from AtHoc's unified alerting approach,
enterprise-class architecture, security, reliability, ease of use,
and compliance with Department of Defense and Federal Regulations and
Guidelines."
AtHoc is the industry's leading provider of emergency mass
notification systems to the U.S. military and federal government
currently deployed at thousands of garrisons, installations and bases
around the world.
