ATI Systems Honored in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland
Security Awards Program
A major requirement was to cover three separate areas on the base
due to the distributed nature of the facilities.
ATI provided a new outdoor warning system that covers the entire
base in case of emergency.
Three independent control stations and three ATI 1600-watt High
Powered Speaker Stations (HPSS16) were installed to provide
audible tones and voice announcements to designated areas of the
base.

Indoor Speaker Unit (ISU)
The ISU provides 400 Watts of continuous audio output, voice instruction, and
public address (PA).
Indoor MNS Systems provide the bridge between facili-
ty-wide emergency warning notification alerts and indoor
buildings, typically using a combination of low-power
ceiling and/or wall speakers for hallways and common
areas, medium-powered horn speakers for larger areas,
and strobes for visual alerting.
ATI offers two solutions for indoor building MNS units:
The Indoor Speaker Unit for buildings where there is no existing
equipment, and the Indoor Speaker Unit configured with PA
Interface for buildings that have an existing public address or voice
evacuation system to broadcast audible alerts from the ATI wide-ar-
ea MNS.
ATI products include solutions that are UL approved, and
UFC and NFPA compliant.
