Alertifyr provides a digital alarm and evacuation platform that delivers fast, reliable notifications for fire, smoke, active‑shooter, or other incidents across schools, public buildings, industrial sites, construction zones, and events. The system is wireless and battery‑operated, built on LoRaWAN so it can integrate off‑the‑shelf sensors and function independently of a central control center, sending alerts directly via SMS, phone or app.

Problem
Many schools, historic public buildings, industrial sites, construction zones, and events lack affordable, wired fire and emergency alarm systems. Retrofitting traditional, centrally managed installations is often costly, time‑consuming, and may be prohibited by preservation constraints. Consequently, occupants face delayed notifications during fires, smoke, active‑shooter incidents, or other emergencies.
Solution
Alertifyr delivers a wireless, battery‑operated alarm and evacuation platform built on LoRaWAN, eliminating the need for cabling and power infrastructure. The system connects to standard commercial sensors (e.g., fire, smoke, intrusion) and operates autonomously, sending alerts directly to predefined recipients via SMS, voice call, email, or a mobile app. Because it does not rely on a central control center, the service remains functional even if traditional dispatch or monitoring services are unavailable. Installation is rapid: devices are mounted and powered on without wiring, making the solution suitable for permanent facilities and temporary deployments such as construction sites or events. A cloud‑based management console allows administrators to configure sensor groups, notification pathways, and escalation rules, while optional integration with the Swiss CERTAS alarm network provides additional redundancy for critical institutions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are school districts, municipalities managing public or heritage buildings, industrial enterprises, construction firms, and event organizers that require fast, reliable emergency notification without extensive wiring or central monitoring.
