A New World of Security and Prevention is Here

Phoenix, AZ - March 24, 2026 – At ISC West 2026, AtlasIED will unveil the AIX platform, designed to help integrators move beyond reactive security toward smarter prevention and situational awareness — while fitting cleanly into real-world security deployments. AIX is AtlasIED’s next-generation IP endpoint platform built around one core idea: technology in critical environments should evolve, not be replaced. The AIX ecosystem will be on display at the AtlasIED stand 30061 at the Venetian Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, from March 25 - 27.

Designed with a modular architecture, PoE++ for power-hungry applications, and integrated AI expansion pathways, AIX combines audio, visual notification, multi-sensing, and intelligent edge capability into a single adaptable platform. By consolidating multiple system functions onto a single network drop, it simplifies infrastructure while expanding capability. It’s built to meet today’s and tomorrow’s customer expectations without requiring a rip-and-replace upgrade.

Key differentiators of this multi-purpose security platform include:

• ONVIF compatibility enables AIX to integrate seamlessly into modern security environments.

• A structured priority model ensures deterministic behavior and consistent overrides during simultaneous events.

• Modular, expandable hardware allows new capabilities to be added over time without replacing core installed devices.

• AI-ready by design, AIX is engineered to evolve with advancing intelligent security technologies.

• PoE++ architecture provides the power capacity needed for larger displays, higher audio output, and future hardware expansion (PoE+ operation still supported).

• Site Manager software enables centralized device discovery, configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates, making AIX scalable and aligned with enterprise-level IT expectations.

Expansion Modules

All initial devices* include expansion module slots for advanced gunshot detection, camera, and flasher modules.

Gunshot detection enables AIX to recognize acoustic- and IR-based signatures consistent with firearm discharge and initiate predefined alert actions in real time. By analyzing data from four separate sensors, AIX’s patent-pending technology can reduce response latency and trigger coordinated visual and audible notifications across a facility. This integrated capability enhances situational awareness without requiring a separate, standalone detection system.

Camera-based object detection enables AIX to identify predefined visual indicators such as weapons or other security-relevant objects directly at the endpoint. By leveraging edge-based processing and integrated AI expansion pathways, AIX can provide faster situational awareness without relying solely on centralized analysis.

Environmental Sensors

Integrated environmental sensing allows AIX to monitor conditions such as temperature, humidity, indoor air quality, VOCs, eCO2, and other indicators directly at the endpoint. By collecting real-time room-level data, AIX extends beyond communication to provide actionable insight into occupant comfort and safety. This built-in awareness reduces the need for standalone sensors while enabling smarter facility response and long-term environmental visibility.

ONVIF Compatibility

ONVIF compatibility enables AIX to integrate seamlessly into standardized IP-based security ecosystems. By supporting industry-recognized interoperability protocols, AIX can integrate with leading video management systems and security platforms, extending its role beyond communication into unified security infrastructure. This ensures flexibility, broader deployment opportunities, and long-term system compatibility.

Third-Party Integrations

Similar to IPX, AIX integrates seamlessly with leading third-party notification and communication platforms, including InformaCast, Syn-Apps Revolution, and GCK. This interoperability enables organizations to trigger synchronized audio, visual, and text-based alerts from a centralized platform, ensuring consistent communication during routine announcements or emergencies. Because AIX devices operate on standard network protocols, integrators can deploy them within existing IT environments while leveraging the advanced automation, scheduling, and incident response capabilities of these third-party platforms.

Additional Enhancements

Certain AIX endpoints are equipped with RGB+W fully addressable lightbars that provide clear, customizable visual alerts that can be programmed to signal different system states or events, improving situational awareness at a glance. The 2.5x larger screen (compared to IPX models) gives users more space for critical information, making messages easier to read and interact with in busy or high-traffic environments. A 12-inch high-lumen display ensures that notifications remain bright and legible even in challenging lighting conditions such as daylight or large open spaces. Paired with a speech-optimized, 6.5-inch two-way driver, the system delivers clear, intelligible audio, ensuring announcements and phone calls are easily understood when it matters most.

AIX is designed to meet modern network security standards, ensuring safe deployment in enterprise-level IT environments. Supporting secure communication protocols, authenticated access, and TLS-encrypted data transmission, AIX protects both device integrity and system interactions across the network. This security-first architecture allows organizations to confidently integrate endpoints into critical infrastructure without introducing unnecessary risk.

AIX endpoints include a self-test feature, which allows system integrators to have confidence that their public communication system is ready for an emergency. The on-board self-test feature will allow AIX to test both the flasher and loudspeaker on a pre-programmed schedule. Records are also kept, allowing administrators to review historical test results for inquiries about system readiness.

Customizable display content enables organizations to move beyond static clocks and simple text, creating tailored visual scenes for both emergencies and daily communication. With support for dynamic elements such as scrolling text, images (BMP, JPG, and PNG formats), and time-based content, AIX enables facilities to align visual messaging with their specific protocols, branding, and operational needs, turning the endpoint display into an active communication tool.

Multi-language support enables AIX to deliver visual messaging in the language most appropriate for the facility's occupants. By allowing end-user content to be presented in selected languages, AIX improves clarity and response confidence during daily communications and emergencies.
