Telecom Lead America: Singlewire Software, a software provider for emergency communication and IP paging, has launched InformaCast Basic Paging with Cisco.
InformaCast Basic Paging will initially be shipped with the latest release of Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) 9.1 and Cisco Business Edition 6000, followed shortly thereafter with availability for all Cisco CUCM customers running version 8.5 or greater.
Singlewire has completed interoperability verification testing required by Cisco.
InformaCast Basic Paging provides phone-to-phone live audio paging for all CUCM users to a maximum single group size of 50 Cisco IP phones simultaneously. Unlimited paging groups can be configured with 50 users per group. The solution can be configured and used for sending an audio announcement to a single phone or groups of phones within an organization, and is available free of charge.
InformaCast Advanced Notification is a full-featured emergency notification solution that enables organizations to reach an unlimited number of phones with text, and live or pre-recorded audio messages.
Cisco CUCM customers operating version 8.5 and greater will have a powerful emergency notification platform built into their environment and can easily unlock these advanced features with the purchase of a subscription license from Singlewire.
“InformaCast is a proven solution for delivering paging and emergency notification to organizations of any size,” said Mike Sanders, general manager at Netech Corporation. “This agreement is a big win for any organization that currently has Cisco CUCM installed as their phone system and wants to implement or improve their paging and emergency notification capabilities.”
“Cisco CUCM users will immediately realize the benefit of a basic paging solution now included with their Cisco IP phone system,” said Ken Bywaters, executive vice president for product development at Singlewire Software. “When emergency notification is needed, the advanced features of InformaCast can be unlocked and implemented in a matter of minutes.”
