NIC Partners + AtlasIED
A mass communication and notification solution built on AtlasIED's platform, designed, installed, and supported by NIC Partners.
NIC Partners + AtlasIED
NIC Partners' mass communication and notification solution puts AtlasIED's IPX speakers to work inside a system NIC Partners designs, installs, and integrates end to end. AtlasIED builds the hardware. NIC Partners works with a district to decide how that hardware gets deployed across every campus, connects it to the rest of that district's communication and alerting systems, and stays on as the team responsible for it once it's live.
What the AtlasIED system covers
One IPX speaker endpoint covers all of the following, so a district isn't managing six separate systems:
Bell scheduling.
Automated, standardized bell schedules across every campus, replacing whatever sequence each building ran on its own.
Intercom and paging.
Two-way talkback between a classroom and the front office, without a separate paging system.
Emergency and mass notification.
A district-wide alert triggered from a single authorized device, reaching every speaker at once.
LCD messaging.
Text alerts that scroll across each speaker’s display, so a written message reaches a room even if the audio doesn’t.
LED alerts.
Visual alerts for students who can’t rely on an audio announcement, working alongside the LCD message.
Two-way talkback.
Staff can respond directly through the same endpoint that just received an alert, without a separate radio or phone.
What NIC Partners adds to the AtlasIED platform
01
One network, not two.
NIC Partners designs the deployment to run on the network a district already has, so IPX speakers don't require a second, dedicated communications network.
02
Integration with the rest of a district's alert stack.
NIC Partners pairs AtlasIED's speakers with software like Singlewire's InformaCast, so a single trigger reaches every speaker, phone, and classroom device at once.
03
One standard across every campus.
NIC Partners replaces a patchwork of bell sequences and paging systems with one accessible system a district can manage centrally.
04
Built for students who can't rely on audio alone.
NIC Partners configures LED and LCD messaging so hearing- and vision-impaired students get the same alert as everyone else, not an afterthought.
05
Support that doesn't end at installation.
NIC Partners' account teams stay on as a district's first line of support after installation, working alongside AtlasIED's own engineers when something needs deeper expertise.

IPX speaker endpoints
Torrance USD had a different bell sequence at every one of its 32 campuses, no central way to manage any of it, and no way to pre-record a message ahead of an emergency. NIC Partners paired AtlasIED's IPX speakers, nearly 1,700 indoors and almost 600 outdoors, with Singlewire's InformaCast software, giving the district one accessible system: LED blinkers and message crawlers so students with hearing or vision impairments get every alert, and a way for staff to trigger a district-wide notification from a phone.
