Forum Communications International, a provider of connected life-safety and emergency-alerting and response systems for aviation, public-venue and enterprise environments, today announced the launch of ForumAlert SMART Cabinet for AED, a battery-powered, wirelessly connected, cloud-networked and always ready system, at the ARFF Show, held here September 21-24.
RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SMART Cabinet AED extends the company's ForumAlert emergency-communications ecosystem — already deployed at airports, military establishments, and other high-traffic public and private enterprises — into smartly enclosed system with third-party AED devices that provide always-on readiness. Each unit runs on a battery engineered to last approximately three years between replacements, reducing the maintenance burden that has historically made large AED deployments difficult to keep audit-ready. ForumAlert SMART Cabinets for AED report status, location, and readiness continuously to the cloud, giving safety teams real-time visibility into every device in a deployment rather than relying on manual physical inspections.
ForumAlert SMART cabinet for AED runs on the same ForumAlert cloud infrastructure that has been operational for alerting ForumAlert IP End Points. Facilities can extend site-wide monitoring and low-latency alerting from Forum Connected AEDs without any stand alone infrastructure. The company positions this combination — long battery life, facility-level cloud visibility, and integration with an operating emergency-alerting network — as a meaningful step beyond stand-alone AED units common in the market today.
The ARFF Show brings together aircraft rescue and firefighting professionals and the vendors that equip them, making it a natural venue for the product's first public showing. Forum Communications International is demonstrating ForumAlert SMART cabinet for AED and the broader ForumAlert/ConsortAlert platform and advance IP End Points at BOOTH NUMBER: 34&35 throughout the show, with the product moving from soft launch to full commercial availability as manufacturing and fulfillment scale toward year-end.
Additional product information, including technical specifications and deployment guidance for airports, stadiums, and other public venues, is available from the Forum Communications International team on-site in Chattanooga or by contacting the company directly.
