Smart Radio Warning SystemsNew, SMART emergency warning system to be built at CMUPress Release Abstract, June 15, 2007 For Full Press Release, please click the link to the left.Sima Products Corporation today announced plans to build a new, state-of-the-art emergency alert notification system at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Sima’s SMART Radio (Scalable Mesh Alert Radio Transmission) will allow university authorities to warn students on campus during emergencies. Sima has been selected to receive a $200,000 grant from the Technology Collaborative to build the SMART Radio system. Officials at Carnegie Mellon applauded this effort as a timely solution to the challenge of getting warnings to student populations during emergencies. Director of Environmental Health and Safety for CMU, Madelyn Miller said that the SMART project promises to be more effective than making phone calls or sending text messages. The SMART System uses a combination of wireless technologies to target groups of receivers and deliver selected messages. SMART receivers can be mounted on any wall and integrate a warning siren, flashing lights and a visual display for text messages. SMART Radio is independent of phone and first responder radio systems, can penetrate poor reception areas and provide two-way communications within the university. Sima Products has been creating, developing and marketing quality consumer products for over 30 years. Products include the First Alert Brand of Public Alert radios.
