It goes without saying that the pager is an antiquated technology. Pagers have many flaws including their:

  • Dependency on an infrastructure that is dying out
  • Limited signal or range, preventing on-call responders from receiving pages outside of specific grounds
  • Lack of encryption and security
  • Inability to include contextual information of time-sensitive incidents

Unlike the ’90s, modern response teams require an intelligent solution that streamlines team communications while providing persistent mobile alerting to enhance incident resolution.
