Sangoma Technologies Partners with Quicklert to Enhance School Safety
Sangoma Technologies Corporation has entered a strategic partnership with Quicklert to bolster safety and communication in educational institutions. This collaboration aims to aid schools in adhering to Alyssa’s Law, which requires public schools to implement silent panic alarms that can directly alert law enforcement during emergencies. By integrating various safety and communication technologies into a single platform, the partnership seeks to create a unified approach to campus safety, combining Public Address (PA) systems, video surveillance, and emergency alert technologies. This initiative represents Sangoma's broader commitment to serving not only the education sector but also extending its reach into healthcare and government markets.
The partnership is already demonstrating its efficacy in several school districts. For instance, Dowling Catholic High School in Iowa has successfully modernized its campus safety infrastructure by implementing Quicklert’s technology alongside Sangoma’s offerings, replacing outdated systems with more advanced video intercoms and AI-enhanced surveillance. Similarly, Great Hearts Schools in Texas have adopted Quicklert to comply with local emergency response laws, enabling instantaneous silent alerts across 14 campuses while integrating seamlessly with Sangoma’s UCaaS solution, Switchvox. These implementations affirm the practical benefits of the partnership, showcasing how technology can significantly improve the operational efficiency and safety of educational environments.
Sangoma's CEO, Charles Salameh, emphasizes the company's dedication to creating secure environments for both students and educators. Quicklert’s CEO, Alok Jain, echoes this sentiment, underlining the mission to provide a cohesive platform that meets both emergency and daily communication needs. As both companies leverage Sangoma's extensive partner network and Quicklert's established safety programs, they aim to roll out this innovative safety solution across North America, ensuring that schools are well-equipped to respond to emergencies effectively.
In addition to its focus on educational safety, Sangoma Technologies is recognized for its extensive customer base, boasting over 2.7 million Unified Communications (UC) seats and being included in the Gartner UCaaS Magic Quadrant for ten consecutive years. This expertise positions the company well to expand into other verticals, such as healthcare and government, where safety and communication are equally critical.
The collaboration with Quicklert not only adheres to legal safety mandates but also enhances the overall resilience of educational institutions, paving the way for a safer future in schools across North America.
