Bogen Communications announced a technology partnership with 911Cellular to integrate panic button alerts with its Nyquist paging platform for K-12 schools.
The integration allows alerts triggered by 911Cellular panic buttons to be transmitted directly to the Nyquist system, which can then broadcast emergency messages across audio and visual channels throughout a facility.
Bogen said the integration is designed to improve emergency communication by helping ensure staff and designated stakeholders receive alerts and instructions quickly during an incident.
“Schools require reliable and interoperable systems to support their emergency preparedness plans,” said Randall Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Bogen Communications LLC. “By integrating with 911Cellular’s panic button platform, we enable schools to connect incident initiation directly to facility-wide audiovisual notifications, helping ensure stakeholders are informed and able to act without delay.”
The 911Cellular platform provides emergency alerting, communication and incident management tools designed for educational environments and aligned with Alyssa’s Law requirements.
“Preparedness depends on the ability to communicate clearly the moment an incident occurs,” said Heather Connelly, National Director K12 at 911Cellular. “Integrating our safety platform with Bogen’s Nyquist system helps schools rapidly initiate alerts and deliver coordinated campus-wide notifications, supporting faster response and stronger protection for students and staff.”
The companies said the integration allows schools already using both systems to connect panic button activation with facility-wide notifications without requiring separate workflows or manual intervention.
