Gamewell-FCI has released a new mass notification solution as part of its E3 Series line of Expandable Emergency Evacuation systems. In addition to providing fire alarm protection, the system can also function as a mass notification system (MNS) via several new products, including an LOC (Local Operating Console), back-lit signage, high-threat switches, amber strobes, specialized speakers and giant voice equipment. The LOC provides the onsite "monitoring and control" of voice and notification appliances as required for MNS by the Department of Defense in its Unified Facilities Criteria 4-021-01 document.
