New for NAB!

Version 5.4 Emergency Messaging Software

Digital Alert Systems continues improving its flexible emergency messaging systems with Version 5.4 software for all 64-bit-compatible DASDEC and One-Net systems. This latest release includes the new Missing and Endangered Persons (MEP) event code required by the FCC before the September deadline.

The company continues to promote the award-winning EAS-at-the-EdgeSM concept. This unique offering combines support for AES67 audio and the Livewire routing protocol to inject Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages as AoIP with message prioritization controls when using compatible network devices.

Furthering the company's security commitment, V5.4 now supports OpenID Connect for the single-sign-on authentication process that many large corporations use. It includes two methods of authentication: username/password or authorization flow. This, besides TACACS+, provides secure and easy-to-manage login control for multiple user accounts in addition to several other security improvements and system hardening.

This software update is free to all customers who are actively enrolled in the Digital Alert Systems Software Assurance Plan, have purchased a new DASDEC unit, or have taken advantage of the company's UP TRADE program since April 2022.

LEAP Legacy EAS Adapter Process

In Booth W3837, Digital Alert Systems will demonstrate its Legacy EAS Adapter Process, or LEAP , an upcoming tool for converting the configuration files of other Emergency Alert System devices into the DASDEC format. Using LEAP, broadcasters will be able to quickly and easily incorporate many configuration attributes, such as FIPS codes and event filters, into the DASDEC format, making the conversion from another manufacturer to the advanced Digital Alert Systems platform nearly seamless. The LEAP tool will be available in a future software release.

DASDEC-III DAS3-ELR and DAS3-EXR

NAB visitors to the Digital Alert Systems booth will be the first to see two new DASDEC-III models in their first public showing. The DAS3-ELR and DAS3-EXR are expansion bundles of the popular DAS3-EL and DAS3-EX, which include dual- and triple-integrated triband radios. These new models represent a price reduction over separately priced options, making the new bundles less expensive than ever before.
