Emergency response pagers are a thing of the past

For years, the emergency response pager was the standard for summoning emergency response team members. Organizations have since evolved. Employees work in a hybrid model, locations are expanding, protocols are becoming more complex, and there is a need for real-time insight during incidents.
A traditional emergency response pager basically does only one thing: send a signal. But is that still enough these days?
Many organizations are looking for a solution that:
Alerts more quickly;
Provides insight into available emergency response team members;
Immediately activates the appropriate protocols;
Can be easily managed;
No additional hardware is required.

Why Organizations Are Phasing Out Emergency Alert Beepers

More and more people are making the switch from landlines to a digital platform. And there’s a good reason for that.

No real-time location information

Emergency response pagers do not indicate which responders are present, available, or closest to an incident. As a result, valuable time is lost during an emergency.

No acknowledgment of receipt

With a pager, you don’t know whether a message has actually been received or acted upon. That creates uncertainty at a time when every second counts.

Limited Communication During Incidents

An emergency response pager only sends an alert. It is often not possible to share instructions, coordinate, or escalate the response during an incident.

High costs for hardware and replacement

Potatoes require investments in equipment, maintenance, and replacement. In addition, they entail extra management and logistical work

Difficult to scale in growing organizations

When new locations are added, additional emergency response team members are assigned, or staffing standards are adjusted, pagers often need to be manually expanded or reconfigured.

No integration with existing IT systems.

Traditional doorbells typically operate independently of systems such as Microsoft Teams, access control, fire alarm systems, or other security applications.
