Given the growing atrocities at campus and the increasing importance of mobile phones as depicted in the latest tragedy at Virginia Tech, an automated notification company called MIR3 has decided to offer an emergency notification designed for universities and colleges. Get the latest update on weather, criminal activities, and other class announcements through mobile phones, e-mails, pagers and even landline.

In case you don't know, mass notification empowers one person to communicate with thousands of people simultaneously with just one call or text message.

MIR3's new product, inCampusAlert™, which is based on the company's enterprise-grade technology, bridges the gap between all standard forms of communication to enable high-speed two-way communications to tens of thousands of users and devices. All modalities are supported, including email, wireless pager, PDA, text messaging, landline, mobile phone, satellite phone, TDD/TTY, fax and two-way SMS. MIR3's notification capabilities can also be used for routine high-volume messaging and all-purpose broadcasting, such as administrative notices to employees, messages for coordinating Staffing and schedules, and delivering important, auditable information to customers.

Indeed, this is good news to all concerned students, parents, and school authorities. It will be very favorable if all big universities utilize this communication system.
