Bogen Communications LLC announced a partnership with 911Cellular for an integration that connects 911Cellular panic buttons with Bogen Communications’ Nyquist IP-based paging platform. Bogen Communications said that this aims to enhance emergency notification and response.

The integration allows for an alert to be transmitted to the Nyquist system when the 911Cellular panic button is activated. The platform then broadcasts emergency messages across several AV channels for staff to be provided with response instructions. Bogen Communications said that the system was designed in an effort to reduce response times and limit incident severity through quick, efficient communication.

“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 Safety Platform is an end-to-end emergency alerting, management, and communication solution designed for educational institutions, and it is compliant with Alyssa’s Law requirements.

A wide array of K-12 schools currently implement 911Cellular and Bogen Communications systems, and the integration allows them to directly connect panic button activation with facility-wide, media-integrated notification. Separate workflows and manual intervention are not necessary through this system.

“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.”
