Bogen Communications and 911Cellular establish a technology partnership to integrate panic button alerts with Nyquist Paging Platform for K-12 schools 

MAHWAH, New Jersey (March 24, 2026) – Bogen Communications LLC, a longstanding leader in commercial audio and voice communications technology, has announced a technology partnership with 911Cellular, a developer of critical communication technology, including silent panic buttons, mass communication software, and an incident management platform for K-12 schools nationwide. The integration connects 911Cellular panic buttons with Bogen Communications’ Nyquist IP-based paging platform to enhance emergency notification and response coordination.

Through the integration, when a 911Cellular panic button is activated, an alert is transmitted to the Nyquist system. The Nyquist platform can then broadcast emergency messages across multiple audio and visual channels, helping ensure that staff and other designated stakeholders are promptly informed of the situation and provided with response instructions. The integration is designed to reduce response times and limit incident severity by ensuring that key details surrounding an event are communicated quickly and clearly. By linking 911Cellular’s blend of software and hardware-based alerting tools with Bogen Communications’ infrastructure, schools can align notification workflows with established safety protocols.

“Schools require reliable and interoperable systems to support their emergency preparedness plans,” said Randall Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Bogen Communications LLC. “By integrating with 911Cellular’s panic button platform, we enable schools to connect incident initiation directly to facility-wide audiovisual notifications, helping ensure stakeholders are informed and able to act without delay.”

The 911Cellular Safety Platform is an end-to-end emergency alerting, management, and communication solution tailored to educational environments and compliant with Alyssa’s Law requirements.

“Preparedness depends on the ability to communicate clearly the moment an incident occurs,” said Heather Connelly, National Director K12 at 911Cellular. “Integrating our safety platform with Bogen’s Nyquist system helps schools rapidly initiate alerts and deliver coordinated campus-wide notifications, supporting faster response and stronger protection for students and staff.”

Many K-12 schools currently deploy both 911Cellular and Bogen Communications systems. The integration allows those institutions to directly connect panic button activation with facility-wide media-integrated notification without requiring separate workflows or manual intervention. By leveraging existing infrastructure, schools can standardize how alerts are initiated, distributed and managed across classrooms, administrative offices and common areas.
