How to: Protect Our Community with Alyssa’s Law

November 29, 2023 by rjohnson

Every second counts when faced with life-threatening emergencies, especially in terms of public safety. Alyssa’s Law, a groundbreaking piece of legislation, addresses the critical issue of law enforcement response time during crises, recognizing that time is synonymous with precious human life in these dire situations.

The primary objective of Alyssa’s Law is to advocate for the implementation of discrete panic alarm systems that seamlessly interface with law enforcement agencies. These systems are designed to bridge the gap between the occurrence of an emergency and the prompt arrival of law enforcement on the scene. By doing so, the law aims to expedite the neutralization of threats. Educational institutions benefit greatly from the implementation of this law, contributing to the overall well-being and sense of security within our communities.

A brand new innovative solution is CyberData’s 011049 SIP Call Button, a device designed to connect individuals directly to law enforcement during critical emergencies. This discrete button not only triggers a silent alarm but also sends a visual alert via multicast to strobes, ensuring that help is on the way without escalating the situation. This technology complies with Alyssa’s Law, providing communities with a vital tool to enhance their safety and some peace of mind.

At the heart of Alyssa’s Law is the recognition that in moments of crisis, the ability to alert authorities swiftly and clearly can make all the difference. This law ultimately will aid in saving lives in moments of crisis, whether it be in schools, hospitals, and more. CyberData’s 011049 SIP Call Button can be mounted under a desk or in any discrete location. Press the button and it automatically makes a call to a pre-set emergency phone number. This button has a web-based setup, is PoE-powered, has a call progress light, and more.

Did You Know: VoIP Phones Are More Prepared for the Future Than Any Other Phone System?

by jstewart

As we all know, nothing stays the same. Everything changes eventually, however, the speed at which things change can vary. The communication industry is no exception and one of the fastest evolving and changing industries out there. VoIP surpassed traditional phone systems long ago, and even with the addition of cell phones, tablets, texting, emails, etc. VoIP is not going anywhere anytime soon. VoIP is one of the MOST future-ready choices a business can make. For organizations seeking a “future-proof” and scalable communications technology solution, VoIP is still it!

Unlike traditional phone systems, VoIP offers unparalleled scalability. As businesses grow and evolve, VoIP systems can effortlessly adapt to increased communication needs. Adding new lines, expanding features, or accommodating remote workers becomes a seamless process, providing businesses with the flexibility they need in a dynamic environment.

Almost as important as scalability, VoIP technology is cost-effective! VoIP technology utilizes the internet to transmit voice data, eliminating the need for costly infrastructure associated with traditional phone lines. VoIP reduces startup costs by as much as 90% while at the same time saving costs on international calling as well by up to 90%! (Source: Fit Small Business, Startupanz, & tech.co) Additionally, VoIP systems often operate with software-based solutions and can utilize existing hardware, such as computers and smartphones. This eliminates the need for expensive, specialized telephone hardware. VoIP easily scales with business growth without incurring additional infrastructure costs. Adding new users or locations is typically a simple process, and the same network can support increased communication demands.

VoIP Phones offer advanced features such as HD Voice Quality, Video Calling, Touchscreen Displays, Voice-to-Email, “Hot Desking” (allowing users to log into any phone, accessing their personal settings), advanced security features, and more! VoIP Phones also allow for endless collaboration possibilities. Anywhere with an internet connection, becomes an instant work environment. Remote work and hybrid environments thrive with VoIP technology. As technology in this area grows, VoIP grows with it. Integration with emerging technologies enables VoIP to continue to be the communication technology for now and the future. This adaptability positions businesses to leverage emerging technologies as they become essential to communication strategies.

The future of business communication is undoubtedly digital, and VoIP phones are leading the way. VoIP providers continually update their services with the latest features and security measures, ensuring that businesses stay ahead of the curve in an ever-changing technological landscape. Embrace the future with VoIP – where innovation and communication converge for a streamlined and future-ready experience.

November 9, 2023 by rjohnson

Analog gateways handle analog signals, often used in traditional telephony systems such as analog phones, fax machines, and modems, which all generate analog signals.

Digital gateways handle digital signals. Digital signals are in technologies such as VoIP and digital phone systems. Devices like computers, smartphones, and IP phones generate digital signals.

You will know which gateway you need based on the specific requirements of the communication infrastructure and the types of devices that need to be integrated into the network.
