The Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (Cisco IPICS) portfolio of products and applications streamlines daily operations and allows organizations to rapidly respond to incidents or emergencies. It dissolves communications silos between disparate land mobile radio systems and devices such as mobile phones, landline phones, IP phones, and PC clients-users can communicate with whatever device they have, from wherever they are. Users can be paged or emailed with the status of an event, and can be automatically called and invited to join a virtual conference, further improving situation awareness and reducing response time. Cisco IPICS provides flexible and scalable communications interoperability, enhancing the value of existing and new radio, telephony, and IP communications networks.

The Cisco IPICS Phone Client application enables push-to-talk (PTT) functionality on select models of Cisco Unified IP Phones, a capability previously reserved for radio-only users. It allows users to communicate over and monitor broadcasts of channels of communications. With a push of a single button on the phone, a user can communicate over a channel to other users monitoring that channel.

The Cisco IPICS Phone Client for Cisco Unified IP Phones extends communications of existing PTT radio or broadcast networks. With the Cisco Unified IP Phone, users can also respond to incidents or emergencies by using the Cisco IPICS Phone Client, boosting organizational responsiveness as well as operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Cisco IPICS Phone Client users can be added to new communication channels as incidents or needs arise. Users have communication access not only to PTT radio channels, but also to online Cisco IPICS Push-to-Talk Managemenr Center (PMC) users, or groups made up of multiple channels and communication device types such as mobile phones and IP phones. The availability of these channels is managed remotely by an operations manager or dispatcher, allowing for quick and efficient response to escalating events.

An integral component of Cisco IPICS, the Cisco IPICS Phone Client is a licensed application hosted by the Cisco IPICS Server. The Cisco IPICS Phone Client works in conjunction with the Cisco IPICS Server to receive its configuration, updates and upgrades, management, authentication, and alert tone distributions. Other Cisco IPICS system components include the Cisco IPICS Policy Engine, Cisco IPICS PMC, Cisco IPICS Operational Views (Ops Views), Cisco Land Mobile Radio (LMR) gateways, Router Media Service (RMS) gateways, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) telephony gateways.

Cisco IPICS is a systems-level, network-based solution for voice interoperability. It takes full advantage of open IP standards and IP network infrastructure for greater resiliency, scaling, and security, and is part of a complete communications solution for organizations of all sizes.
