Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Guia De Iniciação

Save Cost and Improve Communications for All Workers

Instant Connect helps reduce the cost of deployment and management

by enhancing or replacing expensive radio systems and eliminating the

silos that traditionally exist between radio and enterprise users. Cisco

can use your existing wired and wireless enterprise networks to take full

advantage of existing investments and extend beyond the campus by

using commercial carrier network service.
The Instant Connect deployment strategy supports operations on

Cisco’s leading technology platform by using Cisco Unified Computing

System™ B-Series, C-Series, and E-Series virtualized PTT servers and

Cisco Integrated Service Routers or Cisco 819/829 routers.
Instant Connect features and capabilities include:
• Private PTT calls
• Automatic roaming call assurance – stay connected inside buildings, on

campus, and when you travel outside of campus network facilities on

carrier networks

• Online user and contact presence – see who is online and ready to

communicate in a channel view or contacts view

• Channel history – keep track of which channels you communicate on
• Contact mapping – see where your workgroup participants are located

through GPS and mapping

• User priority with preemption – define the ability for people at the highest

levels of your organization to communicate important messages

• Scanning – be aware of any conversation across multiple talk groups
• Broadcast calls – send a one way push to talk communication to all users,

immediately no matter what channel they are on!

• Land mobile radio (LMR) integration for walkie-talkies and two-way radios
• Cisco Unified Communications Integration including Jabber voice and

video calls from the Instant Connect application

Employees can access PTT services using a variety of devices, as
shown in Table 1.
