In Australia’s evolving education and healthcare sectors, there's a growing emphasis on inclusive communication. As more organisations recognise the importance of supporting individuals with hearing impairments, there's a shift towards combining audio with visual notification systems to ensure that no one is left behind – especially during emergencies.
Smarter Mass Notification Starts Here
At Leading Solutions, we offer a range of Advanced Network Devices (AND) – IP-based audio-visual notification tools designed to deliver clear, synchronised, and multi-sensory alerts across schools, hospitals, and public facilities.
Whether it's a routine bell schedule, a duress alert, or a site-wide evacuation notice, these devices support consistent communication – instantly and reliably.
Why Visual Alerts Matter
Traditional PA systems rely on sound alone, but in many environments, that’s no longer enough:
-
Students with hearing disabilities or sensory sensitivities may not register standard alarms
-
Hospital staff working in busy wards may miss audio-only notifications
-
Visitors and non-native English speakers may benefit from clear, visual messaging
Combining visual and audio notification, such as scrolling text, strobes, and tone alerts, ensures your critical communications are accessible to everyone.
Designed for Education & Healthcare
For Schools
Advanced Network Devices support inclusive learning and site-wide safety with:
-
IP-connected digital signage in classrooms and corridors
-
Visual bell scheduling and class-change alerts
-
Text-based lockdown or evacuation instructions
For Hospitals and Clinics
AND’s solutions help improve workflow and safety by:
-
Delivering duress and emergency alerts via both visual and audio cues

Supporting quick updates to patients and visitors through visual displays
Seamless Integration for AV & IT
Built for networked environments, these devices use standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) and are compatible with SIP, VoIP, paging, and digital signage platforms. For AV integrators and IT teams, that means flexible deployment with minimal infrastructure changes and centralised control.
