Beyond the Blue Light: An All-in-One Security Tech Tower

Blue light towers have long been a signal of safety across the U.S., particularly on university and college campuses where they originated. For more than 30 years, they’ve served as a visual representation of campus safety, helping students, faculty and community members get access to help when they need it most.

But for nearly as much time, the infrastructure around these emergency towers has remained relatively untouched, leaving a lot to be desired when it comes to innovative solutions, advanced integrations and customizable designs.

We’re changing that, unlocking the full potential of blue light beacons and turning them into completely customizable technology towers capable of delivering so much more for your customers.

Getting More Out of Emergency Blue Light Beacons

There’s no question about the essential role blue light towers play in boosting community confidence, deterring crime and enhancing overall safety and security on a college campus.

But we think they can – and should – do even more, especially as your customers’ needs change and security challenges evolve. With our award-winning blue light housing, you can now offer your customers a tailored solution that maximizes their investment.

The beauty of it (besides the fully customizable design, more on that later) is the expansive DIN Rail system that transforms the emergency beacon into an IDF, or a hub that can seamlessly plug into the campus’ ecosystem of security technologies.

Plus, with its open architecture, you can integrate the tech of your choice, regardless of brand or platform – from video surveillance cameras, wireless access points and emergency intercoms to gunshot detection systems, radio repeaters, mustering solutions and so much more.

Keeping Design Front and Center

With a name like "emergency call tower" or “blue light beacon,” it’s no wonder the design hasn’t been modified much in the three decades it’s existed! But limited design capabilities are a thing of the past. Your customers can now choose whatever colors, decals and vinyls they’d like, without compromising the structural integrity of the tower.

Speaking of which, the durable and rust-free aluminum solutions can withstand sustained Category 4 hurricane-force winds, and for the most extreme conditions, our stainless steel option provides a durability guarantee.

The truly exciting design feature, though, is the tower’s customizable and programmable lighting. With nearly 9-foot-tall vertical side strobes on each side, these emergency towers become lighthouses that provide ambient pathway lighting and are easily visible whether in alert mode or not. This patent-pending feature transforms the impressive structures into architectural designs that elevate their surrounding environment.

No-stress Installation

All this, and the solution ships within 12-15 business days (in a UPS box!), with no surprise hurdles, delays or scope creep. And don’t worry, you won’t have to make any last-minute trips to the hardware store during installation because you’re missing parts. We’re all about efficiency and setting you up for success, so you can pass that on to the organizations you serve.

Not only that, but we hope to provide greater freedom and flexibility – both to you and your customers – with our fully customizable solutions. Browse our blue light housings today and explore how they can elevate your offerings.
