NILES, Ill. — Talkaphone, a leading provider of safety and security communications solutions, is proud to showcase its groundbreaking Emergency Phone + Autonomous Drone Integration, a cutting-edge innovation recently honored with a 2025 Most Valuable Product (MVP) Award by Security Sales & Integration magazine. This transformative solution will take center stage at the upcoming Campus Safety Conference 2025.
Talkaphone is a proud sponsor of this year’s Campus Safety Conference in Austin, Texas, July 21-23. Sign up for the show at CampusSafetyConference.com and visit their booth!
Designed to elevate emergency response capabilities across educational, medical, and corporate campuses, this integrated system combines Talkaphone’s trusted emergency blue light phones with autonomous drone technology from Sunflower Labs, delivering real-time situational awareness and faster response during critical incidents.
The integration enables Talkaphone’s blue light emergency phones to integrate seamlessly with Sunflower Labs’ AI-powered drone technology. When the call button is pressed on the Talkaphone blue light phone, the “Bee” drone can be deployed to surveil the area while help is on the way or provide a safety escort to enhance personal safety. A single Bee drone can support a network of emergency phones, covering up to a 600-meter radius from the “Hive” rapid recharging and docking station – over 250 acres. This integration creates a proactive security solution that delivers real-time situational awareness and rapid response capabilities.
“We are excited to share the Emergency Phone + Autonomous Drone Integration with campus safety leaders across the country at the Campus Safety Conference 2025,” said Steve Johnson, CEO of Talkaphone. “Our mission is clear; to continuously innovate to make campuses safer places for students, faculty, visitors, and staff. The integration of our well-recognized and proven emergency communication systems with innovative autonomous drones is a bold step forward in achieving that goal.”
In addition to the drone integration, Talkaphone will also feature its new Voice over LTE (VoLTE) Retrofit Kit—a powerful upgrade solution for legacy analog emergency phones. The VoLTE Retrofit Kit allows campuses to modernize existing blue light phones by converting legacy wired landline blue light phone towers into fully functional, 4G LTE cellular voice-enabled devices, extending product life and ensuring compatibility with today’s communication standards.
The award-winning drone-enabled solution and the VoLTE Retrofit Kit will be featured in Talkaphone’s booth at the 2025 Campus Safety Conference, the premier event dedicated to improving campus safety and preparedness. Known for spotlighting next-generation technologies and fostering collaboration among safety professionals, the conference provides the perfect platform to demonstrate these forward-looking innovations.
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the Talkaphone team, experience live demonstrations of the drone-enabled system, and explore how modern emergency communication tools can dramatically enhance campus protection strategies.
