The quicker security personnel on a college campus can be notified of a crime in progress or of some other dangerous situation, the faster they can get the necessary help. Minutes can make a huge difference.

Most students and faculty carry cell phones so they can call in an emergency, but the problem with this is that they have to know what number to call and it can take 30 seconds or more for them to dial the call and have the call connect to someone.

Installing wireless callbox systems in areas around the campus lets students and faculty quickly request a late-night escort or notify security personnel of a crime in progress so they can call authorities.

With a wireless callbox a student or faculty member simply presses a button and starts talking. In emergency situations this speed could be critical.

These wireless callboxes are easily integrated with existing campus two-way radios and there is no big installation cost.

These callboxes can also be used in conjunction with a wireless PA system to campus security personnel can instantly notify students of a danger.
