Raptor Technologies redefines school safety with Raptor Badge Alert
Raptor Technologies announced today the launch of Raptor Badge Alert, a wearable emergency alert system integrated seamlessly with Raptor's Raptor Emergency Management product suite. Raptor Badge Alert is a fully managed, end-to-end panic alert solution, delivering a comprehensive and scalable solution tailored to the unique requirements of K-12 schools.
"Raptor Badge Alert, coupled with the Raptor Emergency Management System, offers schools the most comprehensive panic alert system available today,” said Gray Hall, CEO of Raptor Technologies. "With over 15,000 schools nationwide relying on Raptor’s panic alert systems, we remain committed to our mission of protecting every child, every school, every day. This affordable and innovative system helps schools maximize the accessibility of panic alert technology for use in critical situations when every second counts.”
Integrated Solutions Providing Redundancy and Flexibility
Raptor Emergency Management includes an integrated suite of products, including Drill Manager, advanced incident mapping, Raptor Alert, Active Assailant Alerting by RapidSOS, and comprehensive accountability and reunification capabilities. By extending the Emergency Management product suite to include Badge Alert, Raptor provides schools the flexibility to adopt a cost-effective multi-layered approach, using both the wearable Badge Alert and the Raptor Alert App to initiate alerts. This dual functionality enhances situational awareness by delivering critical details, such as emergency type and location data, to first responders and providing two-way communication during a crisis.
Comprehensive Connectivity and Reliability
Raptor Badge Alert leverages a dedicated Long-Range (LoRa) wireless network, providing connectivity across indoor and outdoor campus areas—even in many locations where traditional Wi-Fi or cellular coverage may be unreliable. Raptor Badge Alert is engineered to meet or exceed state and district requirements, including Alyssa’s Law, which mandates the adoption of silent panic alert technologies to improve emergency communication and response times.
"Our use of LoRa technology in Raptor Badge Alert builds on the strong foundation of connectivity and redundancy already established by Raptor’s Emergency Management System,” said Chris Noell, Chief Product Officer of Raptor Technologies. “With Raptor, schools can initiate alerts through desktop or laptop systems over their network, via Wi-Fi and cellular with our app, and through a dedicated LoRa network using Raptor Badge Alert. This multi-layered approach enhances the reliability of delivering critical alerts and helps ensure schools are prepared to respond effectively in any situation.”
Enhanced Mapping Capabilities for Faster Response
Raptor Badge Alert includes advanced dynamic mapping showing precise floor-level and location-specific details when an alert is initiated. Schools can use their existing maps or work with Raptor and its partners to enhance their visualizations. These maps can be further enriched with supplementary data, such as live camera feeds and access control points, to amplify situational awareness for first responders. Through connections with 911 PSAPs/ECCs, Raptor Badge Alert provides this critical mapping and alert data to first responders in real time, helping to accelerate and improve emergency response.
Maximize Value from Existing Safety Investments with Raptor Connect
Raptor Badge Alert customers benefit from the extensive Raptor Connect ecosystem of partners. Raptor Connect is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing safety technologies like cameras, PA systems, strobes, smart boards, signage, access control, weapon detection, command centers, and other technologies, creating a multilayered approach to emergency response. This capability helps districts maximize value from their investments in school safety infrastructure while increasing their ability to safeguard staff and students.
Comprehensive Fully Managed Solution
Customers subscribing to Badge Alert receive Raptor’s fully managed service commitment, including professional installation, active monitoring of all devices, and a hassle-free replacement service for badges and network components in addition to the innovative Badge Alert technology. Schools can rely on Raptor for expert support every step of the way, helping to ensure their safety systems remain fully operational and ready for any emergency.
