Leaders in Resilient Emergency Communication Solutions
At Global Security Systems (GSS), we help emergency managers 
deploy life-saving technologies that work when other systems fail. 
Headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, with offices in Florida, 
California, Washington D.C., and Europe, GSS is a global provider of 
FM-based emergency alerting systems designed for reliability, 
speed, and accessibility.

Our Legacy in Broadcast-Based Emergency Communication
GSS has been a pioneer in radio data technology since 1985. Our 
founders were instrumental in the adoption of the RBDS (Radio 
Broadcast Data System) standard in the United States—an 
innovation that became the backbone of modern FM-based alerting.

From manufacturing the only U.S.-made RBDS FM data receiver to installing systems across 20+ international markets and 11 U.S. states, GSS has built a reputation for trusted, field-tested solutions. We even brokered the first exclusive global agreement between an equipment manufacturer and a wireless communications carrier.

The Technology Behind ALERT FM
Our flagship ALERT FM platform leverages the existing global FM broadcast infrastructure to deliver secure, targeted emergency messages to communities, campuses, and critical infrastructure. The system is built for layered, survivable communication—delivering alerts to multiple groups simultaneously with full power and signal redundancy.

Unlike systems that rely on vulnerable network nodes, ALERT FM offers a direct, resilient path for emergency communication—ensuring that vital messages reach the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
