While it is the role of many to find every solution that could make our schools safer, it is the role of the wireless ecosystem to examine how public safety communications failures have been a factor in mass-casualty incidents, and how we must work to improve or eliminate such problems wherever possible.

This session explores the challenges, technologies, solutions, and state and federal legislation (such as ALYSSA'S LAW) that offer help to schools to ensure that critical communications are always available inside school buildings during emergencies.

Takeaway

1. Wireless connectivity is essential for enabling school safety technology.
2. Applications such as unified alerts, mass notifications, visitor management, reunification and more can be enabled by wireless connectivity.
3. Whether incidents occur on campus or beyond school grounds, school safety applications must keep staff and students safe while providing critical information to first responders.
