Among the many Rave applications being embraced by students and administrators is Rave Alert, the Company's broadcast text alerting solution. Rave's new clients - and their students - are already realizing the benefits of this service, which enables schools to immediately blast vital safety information to students' mobile phones, with potentially life-saving results. On the first day of classes at the University of Colorado at Boulder, administrators used Rave Alert to notify students about a stabbing-related threat; student registration for the service tripled overnight.

"College students today have witnessed one of the most horrific campus tragedies of all time. They see the value in getting emergency alerts to their cell phones as it's the one device they carry everywhere and consider to be their social lifeline," says Rodger Desai, chief executive officer and co-founder of Rave Wireless. "The dynamics of college life have changed as a result of the Millennials' mobile lifestyle, forcing universities to adopt new technologies and processes for reaching and connecting with their students."

Rave is uniquely qualified to support its university partners as they look to deliver a range of benefits using students' mobile phones. Many universities use the Rave Alert product as a stepping stone to a more holistic campus mobility solution that leverages the cell phone to improve academics, communication, community and safety.
