HyperSpike Mobile Application

 

One really great feature for the HyperSpike system is the Acoustical Hailing Device (AHD) which is the first acoustical hailing system on the market to offer a smart phone application.  The HyperSpike Mobile Application was developed in an effort to modernize the AHD experience and provide customers with a modern user interface and features for remote control of their device.  I have even made pre-taped alerts that I can use from my smart phone to demonstrate how diverse the device can be used when it is needed.  It can even loop the messages for continuous use.  This allows first responders to deliver the same alert, in different areas, using separate devices and smart phones.  You ensure a common message and eliminate different alerts from being delivered over a wide area.  This increases the mission message and eliminates confused people you are trying to alert.
