Viking Electronics supports school safety with panic buttons

Viking Electronics proudly announces its commitment to enhancing school safety through the support of Alyssa's Law, which mandates panic buttons in schools to expedite law enforcement response time during emergencies.  Alyssa's Law, named in honour of Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the tragic Parkland school shooting, requires schools to install panic buttons for quick law enforcement notification. Viking panic buttons are ideal tools in fulfilling this mandate. The PB-3 and PB-3-IP provide versatile solutions for school environments, offering quick and reliable emergency communication. SIP-based communication systems The PB-3 analog panic button connects to any standard analogue phone line, PABX station, or FXS port and is easily programmed via a touch-tone phone. The IP version, PB-3-IP, integrates with existing SIP-based communication systems, allowing for easy connectivity and remote management. Both models are designed with user-friendly features, including a large, easy-to-activate button, and bright, attention-grabbing LED indicators.  “Our priority is the safety and security of students and staff,” said Mike Busby, Marketing and Sales Manager at Viking Electronics. “By providing reliable and effective panic button options, we support schools in creating a safer learning environment.”
