Singlewire InformaCast Is Now Bundled With Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Business Edition 6000 to Provide Basic Paging and Emergency Notification
MADISON, WI, Jan 28, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Singlewire Software, a developer of network-centric notification
software for emergency communication and IP paging, today announced
the release of InformaCast Basic Paging with Cisco. InformaCast Basic
Paging will initially be bundled and 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. As a Preferred
Solution Developer in the Unified Communications category of the
Cisco Developer Network, Singlewire has completed interoperability
verification testing required by Cisco.
As part of this offering, InformaCast will now operate in two modes:
Basic or Advanced. 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.
For those customers requiring additional functionality, 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.
Notification can also be sent to IP speakers, existing analog
overhead paging systems, computer desktops via a pop-up client or
Cisco Jabber IM, IP-based digital signage, email, and social media
sites including Facebook and Twitter. In addition, InformaCast
Advanced Notification can also be used for automatically sending
weather alerts, monitoring for 911/emergency numbers dialed within an
organization, initiating an emergency conference call session with
managers, and triggering notification to and from other networked
systems.
The bundling of InformaCast Advanced Notification with Cisco CUCM
means that all 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.
The Cisco Developer Network unites Cisco with third-party developers
of hardware and software to deliver tested interoperable solutions to
joint customers, harnessing the power and intelligence of the
