Radius Overview
1.1 About Radius
Radius is a revolutionary alert server and awareness engine. Designed to link
people to events in life-safety situations, Radius combines the latest mass
notification capabilities with advanced positioning technology to provide
detailed location information.
Radius provides the central nervous system for your Physical Security
Information Management system. The system integrates data from traditional
security devices, even IP-enabling legacy security and fire panels to do so,
and then coordinates an appropriate response. The location functionality
provided by Inovonics® Positioning Technology™ then ensures those alarms
can be located, so that the response can be effective.
Radius allows users to monitor a variety of end-devices; interface to fire,
access control, and environmental systems; and provide notification to mobile
devices such as cell phones, pagers, and two-way radios.
