XSponse featured on Fox & Friends for innovative school safety technology

MIAMI—In light of recent troubling statistics revealing at least 40 incidents of gunfire on school grounds this year alone, XSponse has announced its initiative aimed at enhancing student safety through advanced technology.

The initiative is backed by Joe Gannascoli, known for his role as Vito in the acclaimed series “The Sopranos,” who joins the company as a member of the XSponse Parent Advisory Council.

The importance of this initiative was highlighted when it was featured on the popular morning show, “Fox & Friends.” During the segment, Lee Mandel, CEO of XSponse, discussed the innovative technology designed to provide immediate communication and enhance response times during emergencies. The centerpiece of this initiative is a wearable badge that empowers teachers to swiftly alert first responders and initiate lockdown protocols. With this technology, educators can directly inform authorities of any threats while sharing real-time location data through an advanced AI-driven platform.

"Seconds matter - seconds save lives," Mandel emphasized during the “Fox & Friends” interview. "In chaotic situations, every moment counts. Our technology equips teachers with the tools they need to act quickly, ensuring that first responders can efficiently and effectively address any crisis."

Gannascoli voiced the urgency of enhancing school safety measures, drawing on his personal experience as a parent.

"After the tragedies that have occurred, I became increasingly concerned about my daughter's safety as she entered school. This technology represents a significant step toward protecting our children, and I am proud to lend my voice to this cause," he stated during the segment.

The development of this innovative solution was further informed by the experiences of parents, including Andrew Pollack and Ryan Petty, who tragically lost their children in the Parkland shooting. Their insights have been invaluable in shaping a comprehensive response to the pressing issue of school safety.

Key features of the technology include:

· Wearable badges: Instant communication for teachers to notify first responders, or initiate lockdowns.

· Triangulation technology: Real-time location tracking to pinpoint the exact location of incidents on campus. X-Wearable: https://xsponse.com/x-wearable/
