Cisco Instant Connect 4.9(1)

An enterprise push-to-talk (PTT) communications inter-op solution.

IMPORTANT: This application requires access to a Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) on which you have an account. If you are unsure whether your company provides you with access to Cisco IPICS, please contact your IT department.

Cisco® Instant Connect is used for two-way push-to-talk communications on Android™ devices using on premises enterprise push to talk IPICS servers. The Instant Connect application is perfect for connecting users with an instant push of a button over corporate Wi-Fi networks on-premises or off-premises networks (carrier networks).

WHAT'S NEW

• User online/offline presence

• Talker priority with audio preemption

• Multi-channel scanning

• 1-way multi-channel broadcast (system all call)

• Contacts Directory with user presence

• Private push to talk call

• Mapping

• Mobile talk line administration

• Low bandwidth audio codec

• Automatic VPN

MAJOR BENEFITS

• Low costs: Instead of paying a monthly service provider fee for onsite personnel, you deploy an on-premises solution can cost less. The savings from eliminating monthly fees quickly pay back the one-time capital investment. In addition, the Cisco solution is based on open standards, which eliminates the need to purchase, support, and manage proprietary solutions.

• High quality experience: Cisco instant Connect integrates with your existing Cisco Unified Communications and Collaboration services. Quality of service (QoS) and advanced voice codecs help to provide clear voice quality, even when the network is busy.

• Integrates with 2- Way Radios: The Cisco IPICS system can integrate mobile Android users with 2-Way Radio channels, which can reduce subscriber costs.

The Cisco® Instant Connect solution integrates Android devices with Land Mobile Radio (LMR) that connected to the Cisco routers in the data center. For more information about Cisco Instant Connect, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/IPICS.
