by AF 0824 h3 — August 27, 2008—BIO-key International Inc., a leader in finger-based biometric identification and wireless public safety solutions, announces the availability of MobileSRO and MobileCampus silent, secure emergency alert and management solutions for K-12 schools and higher education, respectively.
MobileSRO can be deployed on a BlackBerry, or other smart phone, thereby allowing a teacher or administrator to quickly and easily send a silent alert to the school resource officer (SRO) or other designated security personnel, without unnecessarily alarming students or provoking an intruder.
Security personnel and administrators can also use MobileSRO to alert other faculty and staff about an evolving incident, and how to protect themselves and their students until the situation is resolved. MobileSRO can also be used to link the school resource officer directly with the local public safety 911-center to immediately dispatch police, fire and emergency medical personnel to the scene.
MobileCampus offers similar functionality for campus police and administrators in colleges, universities, medical centers and other campus-based organizations, notes the company. In addition, MobileCampus, like MobileSRO, can link to student and faculty databases, enabling campus police officers to verify the identity of individuals in a building or on the campus.
