able, and will allow for the opportunity to expand
on the system.”
All ATI command packets (including those sent over radio)
are protected by several security features, including encryp-
tion with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
ATI’s systems use the more modern Transport
Layer Security (TLS), the successor to Secure
Socket Layer (SSL), for the protection of commu-
nication running over IP links such as Ethernet,
fiber optics, Wi-Fi, or satellite.
ATI’s software is designed to prevent intrusion
and to secure the communication links to warn-
ing systems in the field.
A credential hierarchy ensures users and admin-
istrators only have access to appropriate func-
tions.
Storage of critical system data is encrypted and
ATI’s remote unit controller hardware includes
watchdogs on program operation and Cyclical
Redundancy Checks on stored program code.
Innovation
“The new touch screen REACT 5000 CCU is a
powerful tool for smaller facilities that require a
Mass Notification System,” said Dr. Ray Bassiou-
ni, President and CEO of ATI Systems.
Key features include:
• Support for multiple simultaneous communi-
cation paths including: Ethernet, USB, CAN,
RS232, RS485, analog radios, and telephone
line
• IPv6 ready, with enhanced security using
SSL/TLS protocols
• Reliable remote configuration and diagnos-
tics, including support for SNMP traps and a
secure web-based interface
• Reduced power consumption for longer run
times during power outages
• Enhanced standard/open protocols support
allowing for flexible interfacing with other 3rd
party systems
• Optional battery backup and 25-watt UHF/
VHF radio provides for continuous operation
and complete system control in the event of
an electrical power outage or network failures
ATI offers a complete system approach,
from advanced design services through
ongoing service and maintenance,
which ensures long-term investment
performance.
“Separate computer and software are not neces-
sary. As a result, the cost of adding intelligible
voice to such a facility will be effective and afford-
