The best possible solution for the worst possible moments
CUSTOMIZED SCHOOL SAFETY SOLUTIONS
Push one button – reach every person
It’s unpleasant to think about… but reality has to be faced. Imagine a crisis situation in your school. How do you quickly get alerts and instructions to everyone in gyms, music rooms and outside? What about those on their way to school? Or who don’t understand Swedish? Or be visually or otherwise impaired?
The only sure way is with a customized communication solution. With an easy-to-operate system that brings together loudspeakers, telephones, alarms and apps into a solution that reaches – and is understood – by everyone at risk.
We need to do more than talk about school violence
School violence is a sensitive, even uncomfortable, topic. But tragic events in Sweden in recent years make it something that has to be addressed, not just with honest talk, but with reliable, cost-effective communication solutions. Contact us to learn more about this critical topic – and how schools can best protect themselves.

“Above all, it feels safe”
The Gothenburg school protects 300 pupils with tailored safety solution from COBS.
Opened in 2016, Landamäreskolan and its associated leisure centre feature an innovative and integrated public address (PA), access control and internal intercom system. A single push of a button can distribute loud, clear live and/or recorded announcements throughout the entire facility, or to defined areas. The solution’s intercom lets staff control access to all the school’s external doors.
“The solution feels both simple and above all, safe! The fact that we can also use it for fast, smooth communication between classrooms and the principal’s office is a real bonus.”
– Susanne Arnudd, principal at Landemäreskolan

Staying safe – whatever the situation
Managing a single crisis situation can call for multiple actions. That’s why a typical COBS school safety solution integrates different features – in order to minimize risk in any scenario.
One-button lockdown – Secure all doors and broadcast loud, clear voice alerts and instructions (live and/or recorded) to all or selected school areas
Evacuation alerts – Assertive yet calming voice broadcasts for safe, fast evacuations
Lock-out mode – Automatically seal all school buildings from external risks
Day-to-day communication – Direct communication between classrooms and principal’s office; audible and clear announcements to any school area
What makes COBS safety systems so effective?
Our school safety solutions are built around rugged, ultra-reliable Internet Protocol (IP) loudspeakers and a small systems management unit that sits in the school’s server room. This sturdy, low-maintenance bedrock enables:
Loud, clear messages in any environment
Smartly placed IP loudspeakers cut through any noise, whether in gyms, music rooms, corridors, outdoor areas, etc.
Ease of use
A single device lets you initiate targeted or general loudspeaker alerts, make calls and view key system information.
Vandal-proof security
Tough wall-mounted intercom units with remote door-opening function provide an additional protective layer
It takes a village…
The African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” sums up the COBS approach to school safety: that students’ well-being requires all of us – teachers, public authorities, architects, technical experts, facility managers – to work together. COBS has for more than 40 years contributed to this team effort with expertise and solutions that optimise emergency preparedness and daily operations.
