The ARA Fire Emergency Messaging Solution is an Android-based emergency communication system developed by ARA and an Australian software company. It enhances verbal notifications in Australian evacuation systems and integrates with media displays.
Key Features
How It Works
ARA Fire provides the API signal. Clients must coordinate directly with their media provider for screen content, design, and messaging.
The system has been reviewed by an accredited fire engineer. Sites must update emergency procedures to include the system and have each installation reviewed for compliance.
Centralised Control
Hexnode’s Management Hub provides full visibility over devices, users, groups, and directory objects from a single interface. Admins can deploy remote actions like lock, wipe, and password reset, with real-time device and compliance status.
Comprehensive Security
Hexnode monitors system parameters, OS versions, and detects jailbreaks or rooting. It also manages Wi-Fi, VPN, and app-level security to prevent unauthorised access and unsafe applications.
Locked Kiosk Mode
Admins can restrict device functions such as hardware keys, system bars, and network settings. Devices can run hidden background apps, display media, and serve as digital signage without third-party tools.
App Management & Web Filtering
Admins can deploy, manage, and track apps over-the-air, including XAPK files and Android Enterprise profiles. Web content filtering, app blacklisting/whitelisting, and bandwidth controls ensure secure and compliant usage.
Policy Automation – Managed by ARA Admin
Instead of manually associating a policy every time a device is added, the admin can automatically associate the policies to devices that satisfy pre-defined conditions.
Containerisation based work profiles
Create a dedicated space for work related applications, documents and other data. Enforce separate container password and open-in policies to restrict access through unmanaged sources.
Application and Content Security
With Hexnode the enterprise unlocks a suite of security features and functionalities that empowers its workforce with ready access to applications and content; skyrocket productivity without hindering security.
Instantaneous device lockdown
Withdraw access to entirety of the device and lock it down in an instant, because Hexnode understands that corporate device vulnerability is not an option.
Lost mode and custom message
Enabling the lost mode will lock down the device and display a custom message that can be configured from the Hexnode portal.
