The system delivers an emergency notification message within minutes to thousands of users -- independent of device, access method or carrier.

In crises, senior officials need fast, reliable methods of distributing information to citizens and public safety officials to effectively respond to and manage incidents.

"Partnering with companies that offer advanced commercial communications software and technology solutions allows JPS to use its established market presence and radio expertise to bring customers critical solutions."

"With CHAIN, customers benefit from a managed alert service that is easy to use, available at a moment's notice and does not require any additional investment in hardware, software, or related maintenance and license fees," said David Todd, president of Invizeon. "This integrated technology brings a multitude of communications devices together under one system, which significantly reduces the time required to distribute critical information resulting in improved response and recovery time."
