Campus-wide Paging System Adds Additional Layer of
Security
Juma Technology Corp (OTC:
JUMT), a systems integration firm specializing in converged
communications, recently helped St. John’s University to enhance
campus safety with the implementation of a comprehensive
campus-wide public address system.
St. John’s University relied on Juma to design and implement the
amplified paging system throughout its Queens, Staten Island, and
Manhattan, NY campuses; an addition that further strengthens the
college’s capabilities to effectively communicate with students,
faculty and staff. The new system, which consists of nearly
365 speakers campus-wide, provides the University with the ability
to broadcast audio announcements across campus in the event of an
emergency.
“By partnering with Juma to implement a public address system,
we’ve added yet another layer of security here at St. John’s
University,” said Joseph Tufano, Chief Information Officer for St.
John’s University. “As we know from experience, effective
communication is fundamental to ensuring the safety of our campus
community in the event of an emergency. We now have the
ability to broadcast real-time announcements to every corner of the
campus and guarantee that everyone on our premises is alerted and
kept informed instantaneously.”
“The Juma team has proven to be a valued partner for us here at
St. John’s University and we are now looking to expand our working
relationship to continue raising the bar on campus safety,” said
Tufano.
“The campus-wide paging system deployed at St. John’s University
has helped to heighten the level of emergency preparedness and
increase the realm of protection on campus,” said John Johnson,
Juma’s Director of Infrastructure Services. “With Juma’s
campus safety and communications solutions, we are helping colleges
and universities utilize communications to make their campus a
safer place to live, work and learn.”
Anthony Servidio, Chief Executive Officer for Juma Technology
Corp, welcomed St. John’s University to the company’s rapidly
growing client roster. “We are pleased to add this
prestigious center of learning to our growing client base and to
provide St. John’s University with an additional level of campus
security. The new paging system provides enhanced safety to
the students and faculty, and a greater level of comfort to their
families.”
The campus-wide paging system utilizes the Bogen Communications
amplified paging products. The paging system was integrated with
the school’s existing MIR3 mass notification text messaging
system.
