Teo, an innovative telecommunications company, today announced that the Bedford, Pa., School District has adopted its E911 Emergency Awareness Solution to ensure access to real-time information and communication to protect its students and faculty. The Bedford School District purchased Teo’s system from FiberCom, a Woodbury, Pa.-based communications firm.
Though the school district had four new IP phone systems in place, it needed to enhance its existing 911 notification features. With Teo’s solution, the school district, which operates five buildings housing two high schools, a middle school and elementary schools, has implemented a cutting-edge protocol and alert system for its approximately 2,500 students and staff. This system now enables real-time communications through screen pop ups and text messages on cell phones.
“Emergency safety is a top priority for us. Since implementing the E911 solution earlier this year, we’ve been very pleased with Teo’s technology,” said Glenn Burket, technology coordinator at Bedford School District. “The solution has already helped provide real-time notification at sporting events. This enables us to properly notify, communicate and protect our students and staff-all at an affordable price.”
“Teo’s E911 solution delivers incredible functionality, quality and value to help our customers protect their most important assets-their people,” said Clyde Zimmerman, president of FiberCom. “In a competitive environment, Teo’s solution is a cut above the rest in quality and price.”
Teo offers the industry’s most effective and affordable E911 emergency notification systems. Features include 911 call recording, 911 call monitoring, secure automatic number identification (ANI) management, multiple group partitions for a variety of functions and much more.
“Teo is proud to help organizations like the Bedford School District with our innovative E911 system,” said Steve Hill, president of Teo. “We are also pleased that FiberCom is offering its customer base the industry’s leading E911 awareness solution. Working together, we can ensure that more companies, government institutions and other organizations can better react and share vital information during emergencies.”
The E911 emergency notification systems are part of Teo’s strong heritage and lineup of cutting-edge communications tools, which includes a made-in-the-USA unified communications platform as well as a series of ISDN and VoIP telephones, NT1 ISDN Network Terminations and ISDN Centrex Attendant Consoles.
