Mass Notification and Warning Systems for Ports

As a gateway to the world and a catalyst for international commerce, ports must ensure business continuity by preparing for the unpredictable.  

That’s why Alertus’ comprehensive mass notification system is designed to rapidly disseminate information to an entire port facility during any circumstance, such as severe weather, port evacuations, or employee injury response.

Mass Notification and
Critical Communication Solutions for Ports

Reaching everyone, everywhere, during a crisis is essential for ensuring safety and minimizing operational disruption. Whether your port operates from a single facility or multiple locations, various Alertus solutions and integrations can target one specific unit, multiple units, or a designated group of people. Depending on the incident, you can send a customized message to port workers, terminal operators, and emergency dispatchers.

The Alert Beacon®

Capture attention from a distance with bright strobes and clear emergency tone sounders. Additionally, display a message about the emergency and how to appropriately respond.

Alert Beacons are ideal for:

  • Areas without cell service or PA coverage

  • Providing visual AND audible alerting

  • Integrating strobes and other alerting devices

Two-way Radio Integration

Keep security personnel and employees instantly notified by leveraging Alertus text-to-speech technology to send spoken alerts directly to integrated two-way radios.

Alertus Two-Way Radio Integration features:

  • Also supports alert tones to capture attention quickly.

One-Touch System Activation

Outdoor Warning Solutions

Spreading information quickly across a large outdoor port environment isn’t always easy. Alertus’ giant voice systems instantly send out clear outdoor voice messages using audible siren tones and industry-leading Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology.

Send clear intelligible voice messages over the Alertus High Power Speaker Arrays (HPSA) with live voice, pre-recorded messages, tones, and the Alertus advanced Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology.
