Bogen Communications Forms Partnership with Alertus to Expand Integrated Emergency Communication Capabilities

Bogen Communications forms partnership with Alertus to expand integrated emergency communication capabilities. Bogen Communications and Alertus establish a technical integration with secure API connectivity to enhance automated alerting and facility-wide paging coordination Bogen Communications LLC, a longstanding leader in commercial audio and voice communications technology, has announced a partnership with Alertus Technologies, a provider of mass notification and emergency communication solutions. The collaboration enables organizations to leverage Bogen Communications' Nyquist IP-based paging platform with Alertus' alerting tools for a more comprehensive, automated emergency communication across facilities. Bogen Communications' integration allows Alertus alert messages to play through Bogen Communications' overhead speaker and paging systems, supporting both software-based and SIP phone system-based connections. Alertus can automatically trigger the Nyquist platform Routines API.Routines are powerful user-definable routines that can automatically launch a procedure, or sequence of actions that the Nyquist system executes in response to a defined "trigger" event. Through API-level communication, Alertus can automatically trigger these Nyquist Routines, share alert information for custom messaging and zoning, and display Nyquist system status directly within the Alertus console. "The partnership strengthens our ability to support customers seeking dependable, interoperable emergency communication," said Randall Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Bogen Communications LLC. "Alertus brings a strong mass notification platform that complements our Nyquist system, enabling organizations to streamline alert delivery, automate responses, and use their existing infrastructure more effectively." The integration between Bogen Communications and Alertus offers key benefits, including fully automated alert paging, software-driven routine activation, optional text-to-speech functionality through SIP Annunciators and deployment based on industry-standard tools without the need for custom development. Users can select software-level or SIP-based integration to accommodate varying network and system environments. "Our collaboration with Bogen Communications enhances how institutions manage and distribute critical alerts," said Amanda Sassano, Vice President of Business Development for Alertus. "By connecting the Alertus platform with the Nyquist paging system, organizations gain a reliable and flexible method for disseminating emergency messages across their facilities." The Web API-based integration uses secure bearer-token authentication and supports Bogen Communications' Nyquist E7000 and C4000 solutions. Alertus can send multiple alert parameters for routine activation and define retry behavior in the event of communication failure, helping ensure message delivery during time-sensitive situations. The combined capability supports applications in education, healthcare, transportation and other sectors requiring facility-wide alerting and coordinated response.
