INITIATION and MONITORING
The Disaster Communications Network System begins with an EWS initiation program called ewsConnect, a remote-control application that instantly broadcasts disaster voice announcements from your Command Centre. Both pre-recorded and live voice announcements are supported. Automated triggering via external sensors and existing monitoring sources can also initiate broadcast of pre-recorded messages.
CONTROL
The operator selects the geographic area of concern on a convenient map-based user interface and the Command Centre Server immediately activates the transmitters that cover these required zones.
DISTRIBUTION
A high-reliability server provides rapid message distribution using Adaptive Geofencing, defined within the ewsConnect control software.
TRANSMISSION
EWS Base station transmitters provides transmission of voice messages, telemetry, status monitoring, and fault diagnosis through its unique and encrypted self-networking capability
BROADCAST
EWS SG80D base stations are multichannel broadcast transmitters, designed to operate reliably in harsh environments during an emergency or disaster. These industry standard rack-mounted transmitters include convenient touch screen operation under password control and integrate remotely with the system. A built-in fail-safe monitor ensures the SG80D transmitter operates reliably and securely at all times.

RECEPTION
In everyone’s home and office, a wall mounted radio receiver continually listens for emergency notifications, 24 hours per day, 365 days each year. The receiver normally remains silent – a flashing green light discretely confirms it is ready. When a message is received, a built-in piercing alarm notifies residents – just like a smoke alarm. One button-click silences the alarm and permits a digital voice instruction to be clearly heard by the resident.
The receiver is completely portable and its internal backup battery will keep it operating for more than one week, provided you remain within range of the EWS base station transmitters.
