One number. Every emergency.
A LAN-first campus emergency system built on Asterisk. The whole campus dials a single number to reach a trained response team — with no internet, no cloud, and no SIM.
Powered by HPE networking
The backbone of UPES-ECS is enterprise networking infrastructure from HPE — engineered for high availability, low latency, and complete local network control, with no dependence on the internet or cellular networks.
Firewall, DHCP, and local time source in one branch gateway. It enforces the LAN-only boundary, so emergency traffic never leaves campus.
Fanless PoE switches power and connect every phone, access point, and server. They carry the voice network, give 111 priority with quality-of-service, and can pinpoint a caller by switch port.
Wi-Fi 6 access points carry the softphones that dial 111 — reaching every corner of campus, entirely on the local network.

Showcased with Team HPE
In July 2026, UPES-ECS was presented alongside HPE's enterprise networking team — first at HPE's campus in Bengaluru, then live at UPES.

Built for the worst day
Nineteen features, distilled into what matters when seconds count.
A call's journey
From a caller in distress to the right responder — every path stays on the campus network.

When networks fail, we don't.
No internet. No cellular. No cloud. UPES-ECS runs entirely on the campus network, so the one number that matters keeps working when everything else goes down.
One promise, 44 languages
Every prompt, the console, and the wallboards localize to the caller's language — fully offline.
One architecture, many missions
The same HPE-powered design scales past a single campus — to universities, disaster-response sites, and any critical-communication zone where reliability is essential.
