Texas College Adds Tier One Alert Capability from IntelliGuard Systems™ to its Emergency Notification System

Company Representative August 22, 2011 Product & Service Announcements
Classrooms Now Armed with RAVENAlert™ Wall Displays

LEWISVILLE, TX — August 16, 2011 — Tyler, TX based Texas College has become the latest campus of higher learning to add IntelliGuard Systems to its layered emergency alerting and notification arsenal. Beginning with the upcoming fall semester, Texas College will outfit its classrooms with IntelliGuard Systems’ RAVENAlert™ Wall Displays.

“While the safety and wellbeing of every one of our students is extremely important to us, we also have to balance that concern with the needs of our faculty, most who require that cell phones are silenced during class. By adding the RAVENAlert Wall Displays to our classrooms, we’ve eliminated any potential gaps in alert coverage, significantly enhancing our ability to alert our entire campus community in the event of an emergency,” said James E. Harris, Sr., Vice President of Business & Finance.

With the addition of the IntelliGuard Systems solution, Texas College can now effectively alert and inform all of its students and faculty on campus about an emergency simultaneously in less than 20 seconds.

“We’re very pleased to provide Texas College with a system that makes its emergency alert capabilities as effective as those on campuses ten times or more its size,” said J. Roy Pottle, Chairman and CEO of IntelliGuard Systems. “While we hope the system never has to be triggered, we’re confident that should a life-threatening emergency occur, its students and faculty will be in a better position to survive.”

Reaching an Entire Campus Community in Seconds
In contrast to cellular-based systems, IntelliGuard’s advanced wireless network protocol, which is based on an amended, but proven technology previously used in the paging industry, unifies all intended recipients so that emergency alerts can be received by an unlimited number of people and places at the same time in seconds, as opposed to minutes or even hours.

The IntelliGuard System is a private, turnkey solution that includes wireless transmitters, streamlined dispatch software and alert devices, called RAVENAlert™, that are dedicated and specific to each campus and its students.

About IntelliGuard Systems
IntelliGuard Systems, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Messaging Services, LLC, a wireless “first responder” messaging company with 30 years of experience designing immediate alert systems for hospitals, fire stations and other emergency professionals who deal with life-and-death situations every day.
