Data Sheet 

Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System 
Mobile Client 

Communication capabilities have changed with the proliferation of next generation IP-
based technologies. Cisco

®

 IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) is 

designed to integrate traditional dispatch systems with these new technologies, 
making it easier to dispatch responders and provide them with the information that 
improves situational awareness. When time is critical, Cisco IPICS helps deliver 
information to the right people, at the right time, in the right format. The Cisco IPICS 
Mobile Client is a new component of the Cisco IPICS solution that helps smart devices 
join an IPICS-enabled response network. 

Features and Benefits 

Mobile clients are an important part of incident response because incidents can occur anywhere, anytime. 

Responders never know where they will be when an incident requiring their support occurs. Until recently, two-way 

radios were the most available means of communications. However, they are mostly limited to audio and certainly 

limited by technology and audio reception. They are also expensive and usually only carried by a small subset of 

on-duty responders. 

But the mobile smartphone with IP connectivity and multimedia capabilities is widely available, less expensive, and 

may receive signals worldwide. Used effectively, the smartphone can emerge as an effective complement to 

conventional radios. This is true especially when responders are not carrying a radio or when situations require 

real-time videos, pictures, and current responder status to better assess an incident. Cisco introduces the IPICS 

Mobile Client to address this opportunity. 

The IPICS Mobile Client is a smartphone application that allows responders to interact with other incident 

participants. Incidents can be within a single agency or between multiple agencies. With this application, 

responders can perform a variety of incident-related activities, including: 

● 

Access incident-related push-to-talk (PTT) channels to communicate between responders and radio users 

● 

Obtain up-to-date incident status information from each responder 

● 

Access incident-related video clips, photographs, and status either pushed to them from the dispatcher or 

added by other responders 

● 

Dynamically add their own video clips, photographs, and status updates
