AVTECH Announces the Release of the New Room Alert 12S Proactive Environment Monitor

The Room Alert 12S is the latest addition to AVTECH’s Room Alert PRO line of proactive environment monitors

July 14, 2020 Warren, RI – AVTECH Software (AVTECH) is proud to announce the introduction of the Room Alert 12S, the newest proactive environment monitor in their Room Alert PRO line. The new Room Alert 12S offers enhanced security features and options for organizations looking to protect their facilities as part of their business continuity plan.

Now in its 32nd year in business, AVTECH manufactures Room Alert, the world’s most popular environment monitor for business continuity plans. Room Alert is made in the USA and proactively monitors environment conditions such as temperature, humidity, flood, power, smoke, and more. Room Alert is currently used in 186 of 196 countries by organizations ranging from thousands of small businesses to Boeing, Sprint, Microsoft, over 80% of the Fortune 1000, the United Nations, and many government agencies.

The Room Alert 12S expands on the proven base of AVTECH’s Room Alert 12E while adding advanced security features such as an HTTPS / SSL web interface, SSL / TLS email notifications, SNMP versions 1/2c/3, and 2048-bit encryption as well as SSL push for data to reach the Room Alert Account online portal for web-enabled customer access. Many of the security features built into the new Room Alert 12S are a crucial component in helping organizations follow security best practices, including users who need to follow DFARS, ISO/IEC and NIST SP 800-171 guidelines. The Room Alert 12S is available in both a wall or desk mount version, as well as a rack mount version in the Room Alert 12SR.

“Our new Room Alert 12S is our latest addition to our Room Alert PRO line of enhanced environment monitors,” said AVTECH President & COO Richard Grundy. “We’ve seen in recent months just how important monitoring your environment and critical equipment such as HVAC units and refrigeration units can be, especially when faced with prolonged periods where your facilities may be short-staffed. Offering data security features such as SSL, HTTPS and 2048-bit encryption in a mid-range monitor will help our users around the world safeguard both their facilities as well as their sensor data. We’re seeing our customers become even more vigilant about combining cyber security with business continuity, and the Room Alert 12S is another option for them to stay protected against costly downtime.”

The Room Alert 12S offers users the ability to use over 12 sensors to help monitor and protect their environment. Temperature monitoring is built into the Room Alert 12S, and it also ships with AVTECH’s patented Digital Active Power w/Temperature Sensor to help provide a comprehensive suite of environment monitoring features right out of the box. Users can manage their alerts, graphs, reports and more though the Room Alert Account portal, included downloadable Room Alert management software, device firmware, third-party SNMP platforms, or any combination of the above.

In addition to Room Alert environment monitors, AVTECH offers a wide range of digital, switch and analog sensors designed to help users monitor as many environment conditions as possible to help protect their facilities. Room Alert is a crucial part of any organization’s business continuity plan, as it allows users to fully monitor environment conditions in their data centers, server rooms, and facilities that can cause unexpected downtime. All Room Alert monitors come standard with free firmware updates as well as lifetime support.
