Protecting 25,000+ frontline staff — across K-12 school districts and a statewide correctional system.
Cora Alert has secured a statewide correctional system for over a year, deployed through a public-safety technology partner — alongside direct K-12 deployments across multiple states.
What Cora Alert Is, and Where It's Actually Deployed
Cora Alert is a wearable panic-button system: a one-tap tag, battery-powered beacons for room-level location, private LoRaWAN gateways, and software that turns a tap into a silent alert with location — delivered in under three seconds, over a network that doesn't depend on Wi-Fi, cellular, or a building's existing IT. This page lays out what the system is made of, who it's built for, and — honestly — where it has actually been deployed versus where it's capable but unproven.
Who is it built for?
Cora Alert serves six markets. Direct deployment history exists in one of them; the other five are served on the same hardware and architecture, without a named deployment yet.

K-12 schools — direct deployment history, across multiple states
-
Hospitals and health systems — capability-based
-
Higher education — capability-based
-
Senior living and assisted care — capability-based
-
Corporate and industrial sites — capability-based
-
Government and public agencies — capability-based

Buying It
Cora Alert is available through the TIPS Cooperative Purchasing Contract #260105, which lets public agencies purchase directly without a competitive bid. Districts can also draw on the COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant (covers up to 75% of costs, capped at $500,000 per district) and applicable state funding allocations.
What's actually been deployed?
-
K-12: direct sales, across multiple states — this is where the product has the most track record.
-
Correctional: 25,000+ staff, deployed through a third-party channel partner, not direct sales.
-
The other five markets (healthcare, higher ed, senior living, corporate, government): no named deployment yet. The hardware and software are the same ones running in schools and corrections — just not yet used in those settings with a named customer.
