IntraLogic Solutions announces first ever National<br />
Common Operating Picture (COP) platform for first<br />
responders allowing immediate 9-1-1 notification<br />
As recently reported by Government<br />
Security News, Intralogic Solutions,<br />
Inc. a leading global school security,<br />
and government developer and integrator,<br />
and Rave Mobile Safety, a respected<br />
creator of innovative public<br />
safety and communication software<br />
have announced a partnership<br />
to develop an integrated<br />
service offering that<br />
will benefit both schools<br />
and first responders during<br />
crisis situations, including<br />
ones involving active shooters.<br />
According to the partners,<br />
the new solution combines<br />
Rave’s Panic Button application<br />
and 9-1-1 data delivery capabilities<br />
with robust video surveillance,<br />
interactive rich digital floor plans,<br />
One Button Lockdown and access<br />
control technology. The combined<br />
solution will allow first responders<br />
full access to critical information<br />
about a situation from any location,<br />
including while en route via a secure,<br />
mobile broadband connection.<br />
In an August 10 interview with<br />
Intralogic CEO Lee Mandel, <strong>GSN</strong><br />
Lee Mandel<br />

learned that the integrated technologies<br />
offer a unique technological<br />
breakthrough experience that no<br />
other company is presently offering.<br />
Rather than the traditional 9-1-1 process<br />
to call police, the new, integrated<br />
technology can send critical information<br />
within milliseconds<br />
to a 9-1-1 call center.<br />
“When someone hits<br />
the panic button in a<br />
school, the 9-1-1 center<br />
is immediately activated<br />
giving operators full command<br />
and control to help<br />
find the shooter while the<br />
first responders are still<br />
in transit. They can then<br />
remotely open the doors and guide<br />
the responders to exactly where the<br />
shooter is,” said Mandel. “No one<br />
else on a national level is offering this<br />
comprehensive solution. Additionally<br />
the panic button can initiate a lockdown<br />
which will, locks all the doors<br />
automatically, flash strobe lights, send<br />
text messages to parents, teachers, and<br />
students, and take over all computer<br />
screens while playing a pre-recorded<br />
message over the P.A. system.” Mandel<br />
indicated that the technology is a<br />
first of its kind agnostic platform that<br />
allows integration from any manufacturer.<br />
IntraLogic considers this an advanced<br />
PSIM solutions.<br />
Mandel and his company have been<br />
getting a lot of attention from major<br />
companies in the field who understand<br />
that clients have never been able<br />
to customize in this manner, “with<br />
one common operating picture.”<br />
Founded by Mandel in 2004, Intra-<br />
Logic focused mainly on software development<br />
in its early years, working<br />
for a lot of businesses on Long Island,<br />
NY and other nearby states. The turning<br />
point, said Mandel, was when the<br />
company got on its first government<br />
contract which enables any government<br />
agency to purchase products<br />
from pre-bid, published lists. Currently,<br />
the company serves over 160<br />
School Districts nationally including<br />
49 of the 57 districts in Nassau County,<br />
30 in Suffolk County and over 80<br />
throughout Upstate New York, New<br />
Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and<br />
across the United States.<br />
IntraLogic’s overall list of clients<br />
include schools, townships, munici-
