Boxlight and CENTEGIX® Integrate Technologies to Seamlessly Connect Emergency Alerting, Rapid Response, and Robust Communication

By: via Business Wire

Partnership connects CENTEGIX wearable safety technology with Boxlight’s ATTENTION! ecosystem for real-time, location-based visual and audio response.

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— announces a key partnership with CENTEGIX®, the industry leader in emergency notification and response. CENTEGIX enables staff to quickly and discreetly get help to their exact location where help is needed. This collaboration integrates the CENTEGIX Safety Platform™ with Boxlight’s ATTENTION! campus and safety communication ecosystem, enabling rapid, coordinated action through a fully connected safety network.

“Building safer schools requires more than isolated tools—it demands connected ecosystems that put people first. By integrating CENTEGIX’s rapid incident response solution with our ATTENTION! ecosystem for school and safety communication, we’re giving schools a faster, smarter way to act when it matters most. This partnership reflects our continued mission to maximize learning, simplify communication, and elevate safety,” said Sean Penn, Senior Vice President of Education Product Portfolio at Boxlight.

The integration offers the following benefits:

  • Immediate, Staff-Initiated Alerts: With the press of a button on the CrisisAlert wearable badge, staff can discreetly activate an emergency alert that integrates with Boxlight’s platform for extended campus-wide awareness.
  • Multi-sensory Notifications: Integrated alerts activate both the CENTEGIX CrisisAlert strobe lights and audio/visual notifications from Boxlights’s ecosystem - including Boxlight displays, Clevertouch digital signage, CleverLive, classroom audio, and mobile devices—activating campuswide visual and audio alerts, reinforcing situational awareness in classrooms, offices, and common areas.
  • Alert Location Precision: CrisisAlert provides campus-wide, floor and room-level alert location to campus-based response teams and external first responders.
  • Coordinated, Real-Time Situational Awareness: CENTEGIX delivers critical alert information including a digital map of the campus along with emergency response information such as evacuation routes, exits, location of emergency equipment and more. This information is delivered to both on-site responders and local public safety (911/PSAPs/RTCCs) in order to enable a fast, informed and effective emergency response. Schools can enhance emergency preparedness using CENTEGIX wearable alert badges that provide precise location data and initiate a coordinated response.

“CENTEGIX is committed to developing safety solutions that empower and protect people every day,” said Vince Zappa, Chief Product Officer of CENTEGIX. “This integration with Boxlight further expands the reach of our Safety Platform and enhances communication capabilities for our mutual customers.”

CENTEGIX protects 14 million individuals across 14,000 locations and is trusted by some of the nation’s largest school districts and other critical facilities. The CENTEGIX Safety Platform leverages dynamic digital mapping, real-time locating capabilities, an easy-to-use wearable panic button to accelerate emergency response. Included in the Safety Platform are visitor management and reunification. The CENTEGIX Safety Platform minimizes identification, notification, and response time in emergencies.
