Emergency alerts

Emergency alerts on every screen, in seconds

A delay, a closure, an evacuation. One button takes over the screens you choose, over every playlist and ad, until you clear it.

Reach

Exactly the right screens

Send an alert to every screen, to groups such as a station or a city (including the groups inside them), to screens with a tag, or to a single display.

Seconds, not minutes

Connected screens show the alert at once. A screen whose live connection is blocked picks it up on its next check-in, about a minute later.

Over everything

The alert covers playlists and ads, stops their sound, and wakes screens that are switched off for the night.

Know before you send

See how many screens an alert will reach, and which ones need a newer player, before you press send.

Control

Built for the people on duty

  • Ready-made messages for evacuation, delays, weather and announcements
  • Emergency, warning and notice styles, each with its own colours
  • Clears itself after a set time, or with one click; Clear all ends every alert at once
  • Every alert sent and cleared is in the activity log, with who did it and when

Who it is for

Stations, campuses and public buildings

Railway and metro stations, bus terminals, airports, hospitals, campuses and civic buildings already have screens in front of the people who need to know. SignaOrbit turns them into one channel you can take over the moment something happens.

Access is controlled by role: decide who can send alerts and who can clear them. See digital signage for railways.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast does an alert appear?

Within seconds on screens with a live connection. Screens that only reach the server through their regular check-in show it within about a minute.

Does it show on screens that are switched off?

Yes, if you choose to wake them. The screen turns on to show the alert and goes back to its schedule when the alert is cleared.

Can it end automatically?

Yes. Give an alert a duration, such as 30 minutes, and it clears itself. You can also clear it at any time.

Who can send an alert?

Only people whose role allows it. Sending and clearing are separate permissions, and every action is logged.
