[{"type":"text","content":"City Utilizing Genasys IPAWS Watch for Wireless Emergency Alerts\nSAN DIEGO, July 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in critical communications systems and solutions, today announced the installation of the Company’s hardware and software public safety emergency notification systems in Newport Beach, CA. The advanced Genasys systems, which feature satellite connectivity, battery backup and cloud-based Command and Control software, replaced air raid-style mechanical sirens.\n “The systems’ installation was easy, and testing has gone well,” commented Katie Eing, Emergency Services Coordinator for the City of Newport Beach. “In addition to clear voice messaging, multiple siren tone options and a clean visual aesthetic, Genasys speaker arrays continue to operate when power and telecommunications go down.” The installation was approved by the Newport Beach City Council following an August 2019 staff report that stated, “A key improvement over the existing system is voice command capabilities. During a disaster, public safety officials can sound the siren and then give voice commands over the speaker system instructing community members on exactly what to do.” “By enabling COVID-19 and other public safety notifications on multiple channels, including speaker arrays, IPAWS, WEA and social media, Genasys is a significant upgrade from the previous siren-only equipment,” added Ms. Eing. “Genasys unifies community emergency warning systems by delivering multi-channel alerts, notifications and instructions to help protect residents and visitors during crisis situations,” said Richard Danforth, Chief Executive Officer, Genasys Inc. “Our suite of public safety solutions provide emergency management officials the assurance critical communications will be delivered that help keep people safe.” The Genasys unified, multi-channel platform provides a full range of technologies and communication channels for local, regional and national emergency warning systems including: SMSIPAWSWEAGenasys Speaker ArraysSocial MediaCommon Alerting Protocol (CAP)Geo-Located Mobile Mass MessagingCell Broadcast To view videos of the Newport Beach systems’ tests, click HERE.
