Designed for Precision and Speed

Locution’s complete, full word natural voice delivers high understandability. The pronunciations are the way you want them. Landmark names can replace long street addresses. You determine the order of information in the dispatches, as well as tones and alerts that quickly communicate critical information. The result: clear, concise, and consistent communication that you and your team can depend on.

Redundancy for 24 x Forever Operation

IP and Radio can be configured to provide redundancy. Our Responder Mobile app provides information at your fingertips, wherever you or your team may be. Our audio database is stored at each station for redundancy and performance – no fire station alerting system should rely on cloud availability to operate. Your system settings can be viewed and modified by you, as well as stored offsite for additional redundancy and protection.

Improving Health & Safety of First Responders

Frequent interruptions of sleep, coupled with loud alarms, bright lights, and more, have very significant health risks for first responders. They increase stress and can also impair decision making and lower job performance. To help mitigate these health risks, Locution delivers systems with heart saver tones, ramped audio and visual alerts, lighting optimized for night use, smaller directional speakers to provide clearer audio at lower levels than large wide area speakers, zoned alerting to avoid awakening first responders unnecessarily, and more. First responder health and safety should be taken as seriously as the health and safety of those they are protecting.

Low Risk Implementation

Locution understands that setting the standard for automated fire station alerting systems isn’t just about innovative software and hardware. It is about listening to your unique needs, integrating with your existing CAD and processes, and designing and implementing your solution seamlessly and predictably. Our goal is to deliver a system that is so intuitive that your whole team, including your first responders, dispatchers, system administrators, and you, quickly become so comfortable with it that it feels like it has always been there.
