A Mission-Critical Mass Communication Platform
Designed for Educational Institutions
GLOBALCOM.EDU combines commonly used building systems that typically operate on their own into one network and unifies them to create a more effective communications ecosystem to keep people safe and improve daily communications.
Click on the interactive emergencies and communications buttons to visualize how alerts can be delivered.
GLOBALCOM.EDU is an entire network-based ecosystem of unified communication technologies that sets a new standard in interoperability.
An entire school's paging, audio, video, digital signage, and emergency systems can communicate together under one solution - even off-campus and district-wide.
The core results are Improved Daily Communications with better collaboration and productivity. This same system is also the Best and Most Proven Mass Notification & Emergency Platform.
Implementing a GLOBALCOM.EDU system is made simple with factory pre-loaded settings that are optimized for educational facilities.
The devices come configured and ready to operate. You save time and money, while gaining all the system advantages from the start.
Supports a wide array of networked and analog endpoint devices.
GLOBALCOM.EDU transforms an existing VoIP telco system into a wide audience coverage system and adds levels of world-class automation technology.
With this integration, you can easily communicate with the exact audience you are targeting.
Live or pre-recorded paging can be broadcast campus wide or into specified zones.
Reduce time and effort by making routine announcements automated by pre-recording them and placing them on a very customizable time schedule.
Bells and tones are synced to your system clock. With the time scheduler, it is easy to match your facility’s daily schedule needs, plus support for half-days, assembly days, and teacher in-service workdays. Tones may also be triggered by contact closures._
AtlasIED IP enabled speakers used for announcements and bells can also provide hands-free, full-duplex intercom anywhere across the campus.
Campus zones requiring live sound reinforcement, such as indoor & outdoor athletics, performance halls, and lecture halls, can be monitored and supervised within the GLOBALCOM.EDU environment. This means that priority messaging can reach the venue, and audio from the event can be fed out to other areas of the campus.
GLOBALCOM.EDU supports Audio over Ethernet (AoE) with the two most common protocols - Audinate Dante™ and CobraNet®.
This provides real-time digital audio for high-fidelity, low-latency professional audio. Because of the fidelity and latency constraints, Audio over Ethernet systems generally do not utilize audio data compression. AoE systems use a much higher bit rate (typically 1 Mbit per channel) and much lower latency (typically less than 10 milliseconds) than VoIP.
The Same System Provides the BEST and MOST Proven Emergency Evacuation Platform
When seconds count, GLOBALCOM®.EDU ensures the right people are immediately informed when an emergency trigger happens from multiple sources.
Our pre-recorded messages and visual notifications are broadcast automatically across the facility and calmly lead everyone to safety. Be prepared with an AtlasIED Smart Automation Solution.
This software plugin provides system administrators with an immediate visual method to centrally monitor a situation when a critical alert happens anywhere in the school campus. Once triggered, it sends an automated alert notification to all administrators, security personnel, or operations staff and displays a “S.A.F.E. Campus Console” of all defined lock-down areas.
The S.A.F.E. Campus Console shows all zones in an “Alert” status. Simultaneously, S.A.F.E. discretely sends an automated notification to all faculty personnel requesting them to respond if their zone is safe or not. As each of the faculty members responds, the Campus Console will show statuses changing from Alert (as Red) to SAFE (as Green). Once emergency responders arrive, they can immediately view which zones within the school are still in alert and which ones have been secured.
GLOBALCOM®.EDU provides system override capability. This allows an authorized on-site or off-site emergency responder to take control of the system and broadcast live announcements.
GLOBALCOM®.EDU Unifies All Zones Within A School Campus
GLOBALCOM®.EDU manages where media will be broadcast throughout an entire school facility and also allows messaging across a wide-area network to the entire school district enabling entire system control and supervision.
Administration Areas
GLOBALCOM®.EDU provides administrators, principals, and authorized faculty members with system control and supervision. During a critical event, visual notifications can be quickly accessed keeping students and faculty safe.
Solution Highlights
• S.A.F.E.™ - Smart Alerts For Emergencies
The administrative area uses the S.A.F.E. visual notification application to acknowledge that faculty members in each space have heard and completed the announced instructions as well as documented that all of their students are accounted for. Confirmation is displayed when the red location indicator turns green.
• IPCSDTouch Digital Communication Station with Touchscreen
Master paging stations with customizable touch panels can be set with multiple levels of security so that access to critical alert pages are restricted to authorized personnel.
Classrooms
GLOBALCOM®.EDU provides classroom audio distribution with talkback communications to other school zones. The same system also provides emergency notifications and triggers.
Solution Highlights
• IP-SDMF IP Enabled Speaker with LCD Display and Flasher
Classrooms are fitted with AtlasIED IP-SDMF IP Talkback speakers for two-way, hands-free communication that includes visual notification displays and multi-colored flashers for ADA compliance. Communication is established between the administration office and classroom via a "button" trigger to a predefined phone extension. AtlasIED IP-SDMF PoE+ IP endpoints have the ability to integrate with AtlasIED classroom multimedia systems so that the local sound system *can work as a panic button to trigger emergency alerts.
• Atlas Learn™ Classroom Audio System
Classrooms equipped with Atlas Learn™ benefit teachers, students, and the education system as a whole. With even sound distribution, lessons are easily heard no matter where students are seated. Attention and concentration are raised, especially in the back of the room, and teachers no longer strain their voices. The system can easily integrate with existing in-classroom multimedia teaching tools such as computers and DVD players for a single source audio control. The Atlas Learn system additionally provides priority paging and emergency notification capabilities that fulfill the needs of any education facility.
Hallway Corridors and Common Areas
GLOBALCOM®.EDU provides wide-area audience coverage allowing faculty and students to intelligibly hear daily announcements and emergency messages during critical events.
Solution Highlights
• IP-DDS Dual-Sided IP Digital Clock with Integrated Speakers and Flasher
Hallways and corridors use the AtlasIED IP-DDS dual sided ADA compliant visual displays so that faculty, students, and staff are provided with daily information and—with the built-in microphone—also as a means to monitor these specific areas.
• IP-ZCM IP-to-Analog Gateway with Amplifier
When larger areas require more coverage, the AtlasIED IP-ZCM can be used to provide a distributed audio solution. It allows analog devices to effectively communicate and cohabitate on network infrastructure.
