Cisco IPICS Phone Client

The Cisco

IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (Cisco IPICS) portfolio of

products and applications streamlines daily operations and allows organizations to rapidly

respond to incidents or emergencies. It dissolves communications silos between

disparate Land Mobile Radio systems and devices such as mobile phones, landline

phones, IP phones, and PC clients—users can communicate with whatever device they

have, from wherever they are. Users can be paged or emailed with the status of an event,

and can be automatically called and invited to join a virtual conference, further improving

situation awareness and reducing response time. Cisco IPICS provides flexible and

scalable communications interoperability, enhancing the value of existing and new radio,

telephony, and IP communications networks.

The Cisco

IPICS Phone Client application (Figure 1) enables push-to-talk (PTT) functionality on

select models of Cisco Unified IP Phones, a capability previously reserved for radio-only users. It

allows users to communicate over and monitor broadcasts of channels of communications. With a

push of a single button on the phone, a user can communicate over a channel to other users

monitoring that channel.

The Cisco IPICS Phone Client for Cisco Unified IP Phones extends communications of existing

PTT radio or broadcast networks. With the Cisco Unified IP Phone, users can also respond to

incidents or emergencies by using the Cisco IPICS Phone Client, boosting organizational

responsiveness as well as operational efficiency and effectiveness.
