Siyata Mobile
Over recent years, the sanctity and safety of American schools have increasingly been threatened by a growing wave of violence. Despite the assumption that these institutions should be havens of learning and personal growth, stark realities of active shooter incidents, student violence against teachers, and escalating student-on-student altercations have disrupted this perception. A trend that goes beyond mere numbers and statistics, it represents a significant shift in the climate of schools across the country, leading to profound and pressing concerns over safety and security. In the wake of increasing safety concerns in K-12 schools across the United States, Siyata Mobile (NASDAQ: SYTA) and CrisisGo have partnered to provide a cutting-edge solution that enhances communication and safety preparedness. The integration of Siyata Mobile's SD7 handheld device with CrisisGo's safety platform offers a comprehensive solution to help schools stay connected and prepared for incidents, including active shooter situations. Siyata Mobile and CrisisGo Siyata Mobile is a developer and provider of communication solutions for enterprise customers, first responders, security guards, delivery/logistics companies, construction workers, and government agencies. Its products include a portfolio of push-to-talk/PTT over cellular (PoC) devices, such as rugged handsets and in-vehicle communication devices. Siyata Mobile also sells a family of cellular boosters for use in vehicles, homes, and large venues with weak signals. The company’s SD7 handset is designed for instant communication with an SOS panic button, providing a simple, easy-to-use solution for immediate communication. The SD7 is a versatile Push-to-Talk (PTT) device that can handle everyday incidents like fights or medical emergencies, to contacting first responders. The SD7 can also initiate a lockdown of the building, meeting Alyssa's Law requirements. On the other hand, CrisisGo is the leading safety platform & emergency solution trusted by over 16,000 schools. With CrisisGo, schools can cover the entire process and workflow required for safety and emergency response, integrate the technology needed to streamline safety and connect the people who make safety happen. Integration Capabilities of the SD7 and CrisisGo’s Platform The integration of the SD7 with CrisisGo's platform allows users to instantly trigger a CrisisGo panic alarm and receive mass notifications without requiring an app or login. With simple clicks of the SD7 SOS button, users can trigger a Staff Assist alert or a Lockdown alert. After triggering an alert, users can record voice information (up to 20 seconds upon configuration) to send with the alert. Alert announcements and voice information will be automatically played in SD7 when an alert is sent to the device. The SD7 handset also supports two-way communication, allowing for more effective communication between dispatch and users. It provides an immediate, two-way connection with first responders, ensuring they have all the information needed to aid in the current crisis. This feature is particularly crucial in active shooter situations where immediate communication with first responders can save lives. Furthermore, the SD7 handset can be used in a vehicle kit on school buses, providing precise location data and PTT abilities. This feature can be particularly useful during emergencies, allowing school dispatch to monitor the bus’s location and ensure that it stays on its designated route. The integration allows for the following specific functionalities: Send Alert: Upon CrisisGo integration, users can use the Siyata SD7 SOS button to trigger alerts. Three clicks of the SOS button trigger a Staff Assist alert, while seven clicks trigger a Lockdown alert. After triggering an alert, users will hear a notification sound from the SD7 device, and they may record voice information (up to 20 seconds upon configuration) to send with the alert. Receive Alert: Alert announcements and voice information will be automatically played in SD7 when an alert is sent to the device. This feature ensures that all users are immediately aware of any emergencies and can respond accordingly. Check In: When a Check In is sent to a device, the SD7 plays a notification tone and vibrates for 10 seconds, displaying the Check In question and one of the options on OLED. Users can turn the SD7 knob to switch to show other options for check-in questions and press down on the knob to select the option shown on OLED for submission. Receive Messages: When a text or audio message is sent to a device, the SD7 plays a notification tone, vibrates for 10 seconds, and displays the message content or notification on OLED. Users can press down on the knob to play audio, stop playing, or remove the audio message from the SD7. Safety iControl Access: Users can access Safety iControl, the smart command center for school administrators to initiate, manage, and monitor safety activities. This feature allows users to send alerts, check-ins, and text messages, escalate and share with external first responders or communities, manage school maps and resources, and view real-time situations on GIS. Advantages of the SD7 + CrisisGo Compared to the Old LMR System The advantages of the SD7 integrated with CrisisGo are numerous, and it represents a significant improvement over the traditional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. Firstly, the SD7 provides an intuitive, straightforward interface that simplifies the process of communication during emergencies. Unlike the LMR system, which can be susceptible to signal interference, the SD7's digital interface is seamless and offers a clear, uninterrupted connection. Additionally, the SD7's integration with CrisisGo enhances its functionality by allowing for the instant triggering of panic alarms and mass notifications, a capability that the LMR system lacks. Furthermore, the SD7's Push-to-Talk (PTT) capability allows for instant communication, a feature that is critical during emergencies. This instant communication capability far surpasses the LMR system, which often requires several steps to establish a communication channel. The SD7's two-way communication feature also enhances the flow of information between the users and first responders, ensuring they have all the necessary details in real time. Unlike the LMR system, the SD7 uses cellular networks that allow the user access to nation-wide coverage compared to limited-ranged radio networks. This means the SD7 can be used in a multitude of environments and situations, such as on school premises, on field trips, at sporting events and other locations effectively without worry of radio connectivity. Lastly, the SD7 offers the potential for integration with vehicle systems, providing precise location data and enhancing the safety of school buses, a feature that the LMR system cannot match. Through these advancements, the SD7 and CrisisGo integration offers a modern, comprehensive solution that greatly surpasses the capabilities of the traditional LMR system in ensuring the safety of K-12 schools.
