TASSTA Americas has implemented its cutting-edge safety platform across numerous schools in the United States, many of which have been fully funded by federal resources. This system, compliant with NFPA 3000 standards and Alyssa’s Laws nationwide, is RapidSOS Ready, FirstNet Certified, ensuring swift and accurate response to critical events such as active shooters.

 

Tim Brown, a retired police officer and VP Public Safety at TASSTA Americas, emphasizes the uniqueness of their solution, designed to empower first responders with efficient and life-saving tools. The platform not only caters to crisis situations but also seamlessly integrates into day-to-day communications, enhancing overall readiness.

 

Prioritizing security and interoperability, the platform is certified with FirstNet and compatible across various devices and communication networks, including satellite technology. Key features enable first responders to communicate via cell phones, bridging gaps in radio coverage, while maintaining secure and independent channels for different agencies.

 

In the event of a threat, school staff can activate panic buttons, instantly transmitting audio, video, and GPS data to first responders and 911 centers through RapidSOS integration. Mutual Aid Responding Units can be swiftly engaged, ensuring coordinated response efforts. Real-time 911 call information enhances situational awareness for law enforcement.

 

During lockdowns, silent messaging enables Unified Command to assess injury status in each classroom, facilitating efficient rescue planning. Additionally, remote activation of audio and video feeds provides critical insights to first responders, enhancing their ability to assess the situation in real time.

 

Carlos Fernandez, CEO of TASSTA Americas, highlights the collaborative approach taken during implementation, ensuring the platform meets diverse local needs. TASSTA Americas serves as the commercialization arm for TASSTA products in the Americas, Spain, and Portugal, offering comprehensive support and expertise in deploying broadband-based mission-critical solutions.

 

With headquarters in Florida and a presence across multiple countries, TASSTA Americas collaborates with skilled engineering partners to transition customers from traditional radio networks to advanced broadband solutions, ensuring seamless communication and enhanced safety across various industries.
