Boxlight and RedBag Announce Integration to Broaden Emergency Preparedness in Schools and Districts
Combined solution enhances campus-wide safety with real-time communication, location-based alerts and classroom-ready supplies.
Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:BOXL)—recognized as one of the top ed-tech companies in the world for innovative solutions that enhance communication and collaboration in educational institutions and businesses— today announces a strategic integration with RedBag, a safety solutions company focused on classroom emergency preparedness and secure communication. The collaboration brings together Boxlight's ATTENTION! for campus and safety communication with RedBag's smart safety kits to support faster, more coordinated responses during critical incidents on school campuses.
ATTENTION! is a robust integration ecosystem between ATTENTION! Approved devices and services that allow schools to build the communication system that best fits their needs and technology stack. With this announcement, schools can seamlessly use CleverLive, Boxlight displays, Clevertouch digital signage players such as Clevertouch Pico XI with RedBag to provide real-time visual alerts during emergencies. This visual alerting and messaging capability is designed to improve response times and ensure that critical safety information is communicated clearly, even in noisy classroom environments.
"By combining Boxlight's visual messaging capabilities through ATTENTION! with RedBag's safety solutions, we're ensuring that vital, life-saving information is seen, understood, and acted upon in real time. Boxlight is proud to partner with RedBag who shares our unwavering commitment to creating safer, more connected learning environments" says Boxlight Director of Marketing Demetrius Handelih.
In addition to real-time alerting, RedBag supports two-way communication within the classroom, allowing staff to not only receive alerts but also send updates or request help. This functionality empowers teachers to stay connected with safety teams during an incident, supporting faster, more informed decision-making at every level.
Kevin Childs, Director of Safety for Aurora Public Schools in Aurora, Colorado, calls the integration a "game changer" for school safety. "In a loud classroom environment where an alert may not be heard, this integration ensures that alert information is prominently displayed so teachers, students, and staff know exactly how to respond," said Childs.
Aurora Public Schools, which has implemented 1,411 Boxlight displays across the district, is among the first to benefit from this powerful new safety solution.
A few of the capabilities that the integrated solution can include:
- Coordinated alerts: When a RedBag incident is activated, the alert is automatically passed to Conductor and/or CleverLive signage, enabling schoolwide coordination. Staff can then scan the QR code on a RedBag to receive real-time updates and securely share situational information.
- Accessible communication: Depending on a school's configuration, Conductor, CleverLive or both can deliver emergency messaging via live or pre-recorded announcements, on-screen messages, or both.
- Targeted display takeover: With CleverLive, schools can override all or selected displays by location to deliver time-sensitive visual alerts and instructions, ensuring that everyone is reached.
- Dynamic messaging: As an event evolves, administrators can change the incident type in the system, triggering updated instructions to be distributed automatically to relevant zones, classrooms, or devices.
With this integration, Boxlight and RedBag aim to help districts reduce response times, improve clarity in crisis situations and strengthen a consistent, district-wide safety culture.
