Case Study: Iowa Army National Guard at Camp Dodge achieves secure, highly intelligible mass notification with Acoustic Technology, Inc.

ATI Systems Installs a Mass Notification System at Camp Dodge Custom Designed for Maximum Intelligibility and Security

The Iowa Army National Guard at Camp Dodge needed a reliable, secure way to deliver clear, intelligible mass notifications across indoor and outdoor areas of the post. They engaged Acoustic Technology, Inc. to design and install a Giant Voice Mass Notification System using an IP‑based public address solution and MassAlert™ software to meet requirements for voice clarity, redundancy, and security.

Acoustic Technology, Inc. deployed six High Powered Outdoor Speaker Stations (two uni‑directional, two bi‑directional, two tri‑directional), two Control Stations, and an Indoor Speaker Unit driving seven lower‑powered speakers, with additional 15‑watt entryway horns. The system uses dual‑fiber links to each unit, battery backup, and MassAlert™’s graphical maps for continuous monitoring; on‑site acoustic measurements confirmed intelligible coverage (80 dBC voice contour). The result is secure, redundant, always‑available mass notification with measurable improvements in coverage, voice intelligibility and system resilience, with Desktopalert integration planned to add desktop pop‑ups.
