IPcelerate Protecting Courtrooms with IP TelephonyTMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
Now judges and other court officials can feel a bit more secure at work thanks to IPcelerate Inc., a provider of communications-based software apps. The company announced on Tuesday the deployment of its IPsession 2500 wireless security environment for all county judges in Washington County, Penn. IPcelerate integrated wireless panic buttons into an IP telephony environment to ensure immediate and direct response to all panic signals throughout the county courthouse, including grounds and parking structures.
By integrating the Cisco IP Communications network, the IPsession server is able to identify each judge by name and specific location whenever a panic button is pushed. Each judge is issued a radio-frequency alert button, which they carry with them at all times. Kevin Brown, CEO of IPcelerate, stated, "This system provides a safe environment for the judges and staff who dedicate their lives to protect and serve the greater public, and illustrates how VoIP can positively impact homeland security initiatives. This is above and beyond the convergence of voice, video and data, and is the type of impact IPcelerate is seeking to provide for all customers."
Washington County will also use its IPsession server to improve other areas of communication such as intercom functions, paging and PSTN-dial out.
IPcelerate made news last week when it was selected to provide VoIP software applications for a series of Arizona-based Subway Sandwich Stores. The deal called for IPcelerate's Application Consulting Group to deploy a series of VoIP business systems onto a converged network to assist with business processes.
"I am responsible for 30 plus stores and am constantly working to manage all the business process issues that impact profit," said Les White, who is engaged in an IPcelerate Application Discovery Workshop and is working directly with IPcelerate back then. "IPcelerate's solutions are going to streamline many of these processes, making it easier on my management team to focus on our customers and our bottom line."
IPcelerate's applications will impact time card and shift management, the daily deposit, store emergency awareness, customer order improvement, daily store tasks awareness, employee recognition and employee safety.
