About e2Campus
Endorsed by Security On Campus Inc. and used by schools around the
country, e2Campus is the Web-based mass notification system that enables
school officials to self-administer and send time-sensitive messages
for a fraction of the cost and complexity of existing notification
solutions. There is no traditional software to install, no hardware
to buy and no additional phone lines needed. A school can set up a
secure notification system in minutes to send routine, urgent or emergency
notifications to their entire campus community or smaller groups,
such as multiple campuses, residence halls, staff-only or sports news.
e2Campus instantly and simultaneously sends mass alerts to a subscriber's
mobile phone (via SMS text message), wireless PDA, text pager, e-mail
accounts, and RSS reader, plus Alertus Notification Beacons, digital
signage, and relevant Web pages. To learn more, visit http://www.e2Campus.com.
