MIDDLETOWN, R.I., 4 May 2008.Purvis Systems Inc., an IT systems and service provider for public safety, emergency management, and defense industries, announced that its Emergency Notification System (ENS) has been selected for implementation by the Rhode Island Airport Corp. Police at T.F. Green International Airport.
Using Purvis ENS, Airport Police officials are able to establish clear and immediate contact with officers, first responders, and outside units nationwide in the event of emergencies or breeches in security.
Purvis ENS is a secure Web-based system that enables officers, first responders, and emergency personnel to send and receive mass notification of an emergency within minutes. If an emergency or a critical breech in security takes place, RI Airport Police officials are able to create an alert and deliver it to multiple people with the push of a button. Recipients will receive the message in the manner of their choosing, with the option of responding immediately, ensuring that no vital connections are missed.
Says RI Airport Police chief David Hayden: "Since our work at T.F. Green presents a myriad of security issues, we required a communications system that would allow us to extend our reach beyond the members of our own unit, while enabling us to inform key officials in other airports nationwide."
The RI Airport Police is an authorized, duly sworn, full-service law-enforcement agency of the State of Rhode Island. Its mission is protecting life and property by enforcing local, state, and federal laws, and representing T.F. Green International Airport, the state's only commercial air-carrier airport.
Purvis ENS is designed to enable users to send simultaneous message alerts through an intuitive Web or telephone interface. Notifications are received in minutes via landline telephones, cell phones, emails, faxes, pagers, TTY, text messages, AOL Instant Messenger, or RSS newsfeeds, as the intended receiver prefers. It guarantees that there are no gaps in communication, no matter what information needs to be conveyed, says a representative.
Don Dupuis, director of public safety at Purvis Systems Inc., says: "Travel safety remains a top-of-mind issue among officials, employees and travelers alike, and the need to communicate effectively is a critical element in providing that security. Purvis ENS has been designed precisely to accommodate this form of communication."
