History & Vision

Rave Wireless is the leading provider of safety applications for mobile users. Rave develops, sells and supports enterprise software applications that keep on-the-go people safe and secure.

  • 100% hosted software as a service (SaaS) – nothing to install
  • Designed for superior reliability and performance
  • Engineered to support large user bases
  • Takes the best of mobile technology including voice, text and location awareness, and applies it to the most important outcome: personal and community safety
  • Award-winning products include:

Rave Alert™ -- Emergency and non-emergency mass notification and group messaging through text alerts, recorded voice messages, email and RSS feeds.
Rave Guardian™ -- Breakthrough safety product ensures peace of mind by transforming the mobile phone into a personal safety device. Phone-accessed application can be armed, and when triggered, automatically sends the user’s picture, mobile number and personal information to campus police or other first responders.
Rave Campus™ -- Transcends safety uses of the mobile phone by effectively putting an entire campus experience, including mobile learning and end user services, on the mobile phone.


Rave Wireless was founded in 2004 by a visionary team of entrepreneurs and investors who believed the powerful capabilities and near-ubiquitous ownership of mobile phones could transform the way individuals and groups communicate and interact with the world around them. Since then, the company has grown to meet the increasing demand from institutional clients across a variety of market segments, all bound by a common goal: to protect the lives and promote the well-being of their on-the-go constituents.
