District Wide Server
Quickly and effectively reach an entire district or group of facilities.
The CareHawk District Wide communication server provides school or facility staff the means to broadcast lockdown, live pages, emergency pages, or any pre-recorded announcement across a group of facilities or schools in a district. Hospitals and other facilities can broadcast to an entire campus or across a group of facilities.
Alerts software makes it as simple as a few mouse clicks. Pages are broadcast in a store-and-forward process. Receiving schools can confirm the message was broadcast. Activities can be tracked later with the built-in logging functions along with a recording of the page that can be accessed by district personnel at a later date.

- Ethernet connectivity
The District Wide Server interfaces with a facility’s LAN/WAN to communicate with the CH1000 Life Safety Communication Platform and Symbiont(-1B) installed in schools throughout a district. The District Wide Server supervises all of the CH1000/Symbiont(-1B) systems within the district and alerts users to network failures via email and visual queues. The District Wide Server manages emergency paging priorities in the event a local emergency page is being broadcast at the same time as a non-emergency district-wide page.
Symbiont
The CareHawk Symbiont module is used with the District Wide Server to connect legacy paging/intercom systems by converting IP audio signals into analog audio signals. This provides a school district with mass notification capability without the need to replace existing infrastructure. Each Symbiont module is supervised by the CareHawk District Wide Server to ensure performance.
