Colleges and universities are uniquely challenged when it comes to student safety. While all educators at primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools are expected to provide a safe learning environment, those in higher education must do so for a mobile student population of adult citizens on large, open, geographically dispersed campuses.
To meet that challenge, many have implemented notification systems to keep their communities informed in case of an emergency. However, these remedies are often point solutions that don't address the full range of possibilities available for securing college campuses.
Alcatel-Lucent has worked with many schools to implement cost-effective, customized unified communications systems to fill the gaps. Alcatel-Lucent Safe Campus solutions support lockdown procedures, provide emergency notification and integrate with building control systems to support surveillance, deliver alarms and alerts, and enhance the awareness and responsiveness of campus security personnel and administrators.
Our solutions allow schools to leverage existing infrastructure investments for voice and data while adding video and mobility components for a comprehensive, three-step approach to campus safety.
