Why Mitel Revolution Matters
In an emergency, every second counts. That’s where Mitel Revolution shines. The platform is designed to handle everything from day-to-day communications to urgent broadcasts in the most critical situations. Here’s why it’s a game-changer for schools in particular:
Rapid Alerts & Notifications
Picture this: An unexpected incident occurs. Within seconds, you can unleash a wave of alerts – calls blasting out to every classroom phone, texts flashing on staff mobiles, emails hitting designated contacts and announcements booming over the intercom. No waiting, no confusion. Everyone knows what’s happening and what to do, minimizing chaos and maximizing response time.
One-Touch Emergency Calls
Studies show the initial minutes of a crisis are vital. Mitel Revolution lets you pre-program single-touch buttons that connect instantly to police, fire or medical dispatch. No frantic dialing, no misdials, no delays. You’re directly connected to the help you need, saving precious moments.
Crystal-Clear Communication
In emergency situations, traditional phone systems might overload and cell networks could be jammed. Mitel Revolution offers dedicated communication channels, ensuring your internal calls and vital emergency calls get through. This means clear instructions for staff, reliable updates, and the ability to coordinate a response even amidst the most stressful situations. Mitel Revolution isn’t just about flashy bells and whistles – it’s about giving your school the crucial advantage it needs to protect what matters most.

Meet Upcoming Compliance Standards with Mitel Revolution
Starting in the summer of 2025, schools in Texas will need to meet new state-mandated compliance standards to enhance campus safety. This includes significant updates to mass notification systems and E911 services as required by Kari’s Law, Ray Baum’s Act, Alyssa’s Law, and other regulations. Schools must ensure that any 911 calls made from campus can communicate precise location details to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)—not just the street address, but specific information such as the classroom number, floor, and whether the location is in the eastern or western part of the campus.
The Mitel Revolution system seamlessly integrates with other safety mechanisms—ranging from door and glass break sensors to systems detecting gunfire or initiating lockdowns. This integration extends to broadcasting alerts through overhead paging systems, digital screens, mobile phones, and computers, ensuring that the entire school community is promptly informed during emergencies. With Mitel Revolution, schools can not only meet these enhanced 911 and mass notification requirements, but also create a coordinated response framework that communicates effectively with various systems, crucial for complying with the upcoming standards by mid-2025.
Let’s get you compliant, together.

Mitel can integrate with parent portals, allowing for automated attendance notifications, targeted messaging for specific groups or easy two-way communication with teachers.
