Rave Mobile Safety

Rave Mobile Safety (acquired by the massive communications titan Motorola Solutions) is an absolute powerhouse in the emergency notification sector, with a highly specific, dominant stronghold in Higher Education (universities/colleges) and State/Local Government (K-12 schools, municipalities, and 911 dispatch centers). While corporate platforms focus on business continuity, Rave is heavily engineered to integrate deeply with public safety infrastructure and first responders, bridging the critical gap between a campus emergency and the police department. The platform is most famous for "Rave Alert," an incredibly reliable, highly scalable mass notification engine used by thousands of universities to blast campus-wide SMS alerts during active shooter incidents or severe weather. It ensures that students, faculty, and parents are instantly informed across multiple channels. Because it is highly tailored for campuses, it integrates flawlessly with complex university databases (like Ellucian Banner or Workday Student) to ensure the contact list is always perfectly up-to-date as students enroll and graduate. Crucially, Rave provides the "Rave Panic Button" and the "Smart911" ecosystem. The Panic Button is a mobile app that allows a teacher or campus security officer to instantly initiate a lockdown and simultaneously dial 911. What makes Rave unique is that this alert pushes massive amounts of critical data (like campus floor plans, live security camera feeds, and the exact location of the caller) directly into the local 911 dispatch center's computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, drastically reducing police response times. For schools and municipalities, Rave provides unparalleled public safety integration.
