At the ISC West 2026 in Las Vegas, AtlasIED is set to unveil its innovative AIX RapidAlert system, designed as a simple, wearable, badge-based solution to enhance safety protocols in schools, healthcare, and commercial environments.
This technology enables both staff and visitors to quickly summon assistance during emergencies, with the aim of reducing response times and increasing security assurance. Visitors can explore this addition at booth 30061 in the Venetian Convention Center from March 25 to 27.
A Comprehensive Safety Ecosystem
The AIX RapidAlert system is composed of several components including staff and visitor badges, gateways, and location beacons.
These elements collectively ensure consistent alerts and location tracking within a facility or campus. Integration is seamless with the AIX multi-purpose security platform, facilitating coordinated emergency responses across lockdown procedures and communications.
Cloud-Based Solutions for Flexibility
This platform allows precise alert and location management without the need for phones, apps, or WiFi
The badge system is versatile enough to operate independently as a standalone emergency alert solution if integration isn't required. It offers both indoor and outdoor coverage and utilizes an intuitive cloud-based software platform tailored for administrative use. This platform allows precise alert and location management without the need for phones, apps, or WiFi.
Designed for Swift Responses
Central to the system are the staff and visitor badges, which allow easy and dependable methods for requesting help in various building locations, including classrooms, hallways, and parking areas. The lightweight and durable badges are designed for continuous wear and straightforward use, even in high-stress conditions. The system provides alert confirmations via multicolor LED and haptic feedback.
Minimizing Erroneous Activations
The AIX RapidAlert system aligns with Alyssa’s Law, which mandates silent panic alarms in schools
Staff badges are white and equipped with three specific buttons for lockdown, security aid, and medical assistance, safeguarded by a clear cover to prevent accidental activation. Visitor badges are bright yellow, allowing easy identification. They incorporate a single button for assistance requests and are configurable with time and access constraints; flashing red and vibrating if a visitor breaches these protocols, notifying administration instantly.
The infrastructure supporting the badges consists of gateways and beacons forming a dependable wireless network. Located information is securely transmitted to the cloud via gateways, ensuring message accuracy and delivery from any origin point. Connections are possible through both wired (PoE) and wireless (LoRaWAN, LTE) methods. Beacons use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for efficient power usage.
Compliance with Alyssa’s Law
The AIX RapidAlert system aligns with Alyssa’s Law, which mandates silent panic alarms in schools linked directly to emergency responders, helping decrease response time during crises. The law, already enacted in over ten states, is likely to expand, making compliance with its mandates a significant benefit of the AIX RapidAlert.
John Ivey, CEO and President of AtlasIED, affirms, "Empowering staff and visitors with safety and reassurance is a responsibility we take seriously. Wearable devices give people an immediate, discrete way to call for help, turning a moment of vulnerability into a rapid response that can prevent incidents from escalating and ultimately save lives." To explore the capabilities of the AIX RapidAlert system firsthand, attendees can visit AtlasIED at stand 30061 during ISC West 2026.
At ISC West 2026, AtlasIED will announce the launch of its new AIX RapidAlert. It is a wearable, easy-to-use badge-based solution that enables staff and visitors to instantly request help during emergencies, delivering faster response times and greater peace of mind in schools, healthcare, and commercial environments. The badges will be on display in the AtlasIED stand 30061 at the Venetian Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, from March 25 - 27.
The AIX RapidAlert safety ecosystem includes staff and visitor badges, gateways, and location beacons that work together to deliver reliable alerting and location awareness across a facility or campus. The system integrates seamlessly with the new AIX multi-purpose security platform, enabling coordinated responses across lockdown procedures, communications, and incident management tools.
Cloud-based software platform
Organizations can also deploy the badge system independently, allowing it to function as a standalone emergency alert solution when integration with other systems is not desired. The system provides indoor and outdoor coverage and includes an intuitive cloud-based software platform designed for administrators.
Staff and visitor badges are the heart of the system. Each badge provides an easy, reliable way to request help or receive guidance anywhere in the building or on campus, with no phone, app, or WiFi required.
High-stress situations
Designed for all-day wear, the badges are lightweight, durable, and simple to operate even in high-stress situations. They are suitable for daily use without disrupting normal operations, while ensuring that emergency support is always within reach. This mobility ensures that employees and visitors can trigger alerts immediately from wherever an incident occurs, whether in a classroom, hallway, office, or parking area.
When a badge button is pressed, it securely collects nearby beacon location information and sends it to the gateways, which forward it to the cloud. The system instantly identifies who needs help, where they are, and what kind of assistance is required. Built-in multicolor LED and haptic feedback let the wearer know the message has been received.
Preventing accidental activations
Staff badges are white and feature three dedicated buttons for lockdown, security assistance, and medical assistance. The buttons are housed under a clear cover to prevent accidental activations.
Visitor badges are bright yellow to visually identify their status on the premises. They are equipped with a single button to request help. Visitor badges can also be configured for time and access rules. If a visitor exceeds their allotted time or enters a secure area, the badge immediately flashes red and vibrates, while administration is notified of their location.
Wireless network infrastructure
Gateways and beacons create the wireless network infrastructure for wearables. Beacons mark the map, telling the system where a person is, while gateways transmit that information securely to the cloud, ensuring every message gets through, no matter where it originates. Gateways use both wired (PoE) and wireless (LoRaWAN, LTE) connections for reliability, and can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Beacons are battery-powered and operate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Alyssa’s Law is legislation that requires public elementary and secondary schools to install silent panic alarms directly linked to first responders, reducing response times during emergencies. Ratified by more than 10 states, with other states expected to follow, the AIX RapidAlert safety ecosystem complies with the requirements of Alyssa’s Law.
Silent panic alarms
Everyone involved in facilities management, security, school leadership, and healthcare should experience the AIX RapidAlert capabilities firsthand.
