Applications
Extending Access Outside the Radio Range
With the ability to dial out to PSTN phones and cell phones, dispatchers can patch in personnel
who are outside of radio range, including off-duty personnel and Department of Homeland Security
agencies such as the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
Automating Notification Processes
Cisco IPICS Policy Engine replaces manual notification processes, which often require a
dispatcher to refer to a binder or database to identify the appropriate participants and then call
each one sequentially. Automating notification shortens the time needed to assemble the response
team.
Activating an Incident-Response Policy Remotely
An authorized dispatcher or incident commander can activate a preestablished policy—including
notification and talk group establishment—from any Web browser or phone.
Enabling Notification Even if the Radio Channel Is Overloaded
The Cisco IPICS Policy Engine provides guaranteed message delivery using multiple channels,
including cell phones, paging, and e-mail, enabling first responders to share crucial incident details
with command even if the radio channel is overloaded during an emergency.
Enabling Silent Notification and Message
When personnel need to operate silently, they can continue to send and receive communication
from command using SMS text messaging.
