Integrated Approach: Audiebant and Crowdguard Form Strategic Partnership to Deliver Unified Communications and Physical Security for Public Safety
This collaboration brings together Audiebant Outdoor the intelligent, zoned public address messaging system and specialist Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) expertise to support safer outcomes for venues and events.
In a move to strengthen how safety is planned and delivered for events and public spaces, specialist providers Audiebant and Crowdguard today announced a strategic partnership focused on delivering integrated, risk-led security solutions. This collaboration brings together communications technology and physical security expertise to enhance resilience, support operational coordination and help event teams respond calmly and consistently when conditions change.
The partnership addresses growing demand for joined-up delivery that moves beyond standalone measures. Audiebant’s Outdoor PA Units support dynamic zoned messaging and live public address capabilities to help event and venue operators share clear instructions and reassurance across any site. Where appropriate, The Outdoor PA Unit can also support scheduled sponsor and event messaging, enabling organisations to make better use of existing communications channels creating revenue and a better customer/supporter experience.
Together, Audiebant and Crowdguard are bringing intelligent, zoned PA announcements and specialist Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) expertise to support venues and event organisers with a more joined-up, risk-led approach. Audiebant adds targeted, multilingual communications that help operators share clear instructions and reassurance, while Crowdguard contributes proportionate HVM advice and physical measures matched to the location, footprint and operational need. Together, the partnership helps align communication, planning and on-the-ground delivery — supporting safer outcomes without adding unnecessary complexity.
Gary Dean, Founder of Audiebant
“Event safety works best when it’s joined-up and proportionate. HVM is one important layer, helping organisers understand and manage vehicle access risk, but it’s most effective when it’s supported by clear, timely communication that people can actually hear and act on. By partnering with Audiebant, we’re connecting specialist HVM expertise with intelligent, zoned messaging so operators can close communication gaps, reinforce stewarding and operations, and deliver calm, consistent guidance when plans change. It’s not about adding more; it’s about making the plan work on the ground. The result is a solution that strengthens event resilience, enhances the visitor experience and helps ensure communication and physical security measures work together to support crowd safety”
