Cisco this week is expected to update its system for tying together first-responder radios with VoIP and cell phones.
Cisco's IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) 2.0 includes a new Policy Engine for automatically notifying and connecting communications systems among disparate groups during events impacting public safety. New push-to-talk recording/playback, support for e-mail/text messaging, and broader support for more Cisco IP phone models are also part of the IPICS 2.0 upgrade. Cisco says these features can help public safety organizations, or private enterprises, better coordinate and connect employees using varied types of communications devices.
