Delivering Timely Actionable Information
Cistera Makes Delivering Information Easy
Cistera Networks' Event Alerting and Notification (EAN) solution for Unified Communications is the leading solution for the delivery of timely and actionable information for organizations of all sizes. Residing on the award-winning Cistera ConvergenceServer, Cistera's EAN solution allows unified communications users to build notification systems that quickly bring people together.
Revolutionary Multimodal Event Alerting and Notification
Cistera Networks recognizes the need to integrate and unify disparate communications systems. Ensuring timely alerting and notification of actionable information to group members is important on a day-to-day basis, and even more important during emergencies. Cistera's enterprise application platform for IP Communications, the Cistera ConvergenceServer, and the EAN solution set support simultaneous multi- modal messaging to IP, mobile and analog phones, computers, PDA's, overhead speakers and two-way radios. Cistera's unique approach to addressing and deploy- ing an EAN solution uses the Cistera ConvergenceServer as the delivery platform and IP as the core "glue" to bind these systems together.
Improved Responsiveness and Effectiveness
With Cistera's EAN solution, customers can tailor their communications infrastructure to facilitate their alerting and notification processes. Cistera's EAN toolset can be used to enhance daily communications, and also improve response to threats or emergencies. RapidBroadcast is a key component of Cistera Networks' EAN solution. It enhances an IP Communications system by a providing multi-modal means of quickly reaching out to all members of an organization regardless of their communications device. It combines both live and pre-recorded message delivery over IP, analog and cell phones, overhead speakers, and two-way radio networks. Additionally, it can deliver messages to text enabled devices.
Enhanced Interoperability
Two-way radios are a communications cornerstone for public agencies, emergency operations and businesses around the world. Until now, proprietary technology confined push-to-talk radios to their own networks - keeping them separated from convergence with IP telephony. By incorporating the two-way radio protocol into the IP telephony environment, existing two-way radio investments are protected, while their utility is extended. This integration is an important component of a full-featured communications solution.
Many organizations, including schools, manufacturing and retail facilities, utilize overhead speakers as an efficient way to inform and alert their constituents. These systems require a complex infrastructure. In addition, while conventional overhead speakers can support zones, they cannot support targeted broadcasts to specific members of the organization. Cistera's Event Alerting and Notification solution can augment or replace existing overhead speakers by seamlessly integrating them into an IP Communications environment.
