Siyata Mobile Inc., a global vendor of Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices and cellular signal booster systems, is pleased to announce that its SD7 rugged mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) device is now integrated with CrisisGo Inc.’s (“CrisisGo”) Panic App, giving teachers instant access to first responders with a single push of a button. Integrated SoS communication improves response times and public safety during times of school community crisis.

The SD7, along with Rapid Kit companion, integrated with the CrisisGo Panic App provides a seamless communication line between teachers, police, ambulance, and fire departments for clear communication amongst all involved during emergencies.

“At CrisisGo, we make sure students are safe throughout the school day. With Siyata SD7’s Push-To-Talk communication and the CrisisGo digital platform, staff members now have a fast, efficient method of speaking with the school safety team or initiating a lockdown of the facility if necessary. We are very excited that this integration adds another effective option for schools to improve safety in addition to the CrisisGo app on Windows, Mac, Android, IOS, Chrome OS, IOT buttons, and JSON API,” states CrisisGo CEO Jim Spicuzza.

In addition to alerting first responders when a crisis occurs, the SD7 with CrisisGo Panic App integration ensures responders stay aware of any changes or developments in the situation. By being connected through a unified safety communication group, school staff can communicate directly to responding officers to give them a first-hand account of the situation.

“SD7 together with CrisisGo is an ideal and cost-effective solution for the 3.8 million teachers in the U.S., providing a new level of seamless communications with first responders during emergencies,” said Siyata CEO Marc Seelenfreund. “With nearly 100,000 public schools in the U.S., this latest integration for the SD7 represents a significant opportunity.”

CrisisGo is an incident management platform for first responders that coordinates alerts, messages, and notifications through reliable communication and IoT devices across and within first responders, safety and security teams, organization stakeholders, and their communities.

With CrisisGo, schools can easily meet the Alyssa’s Law requirement and create better school safety protocols for all emergencies. Alyssa’s Law requires that public elementary and secondary school buildings are adequately equipped with silent panic alarms to directly notify law enforcement in case of an emergency, such as an active shooter. Schools may also employ an alternative emergency mechanism approved by the State Department of Education.
