BlackBerry Case Study: Macquarie University, Australia

 Australia’s Macquarie University is an international campus the size of a small city, surrounded by busy highways, shopping centres and national parks close to Sydney. 

With over 40,000 students, 5,000 members of staff and countless visitors in its care, Macquarie University’s priority is to provide a safe environment for its people and ensure business continuity in the case of any incident – be it a flood, fire or false alarm. 

To help it provide that environment and enable the campus to be ‘crisis-ready,’ Macquarie University partnered with BlackBerry and deployed its secure, networked crisis communications platform, BlackBerry AtHoc.
