The deployment of AtHoc's IWSAlerts at Lyster represents another step in the Department of Defense medical community's adaption of third-generation mass notification technology. Third-generation systems leverage existing IP networks to (a) communicate rapidly to all IP connected devices; (b) integrate and unify disparate existing mass notification capabilities; (c) provide bi-directional communication allowing collection of feedback from all personnel; and (d) achieve enterprise-level scalability and processes. The result is the most effective enterprise-wide mass notification capability with the best cost to benefit ratio.

"We look forward to deploying our award-winning mass alerting solution at the Lyster Army Health Clinic. Along with Irwin Army Hospital at Fort Riley, the deployment of AtHoc's IWSAlerts at Lyster Army Health Clinic demonstrates the ability of our network-based mass notification system to meet the unique requirements of large DoD health care organizations," said Andy Anderson, Vice President of Defense Operations for AtHoc. "AtHoc continues to be adopted by more and more DoD medical community organizations, including the Navy's BUMED and Army and Air Force clinics and hospitals."
