AtHoc Supplies Alerting to Special Operations Forces (11/2/09)
The U.S. Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) selected AtHoc emergency-alerting technology integrated with Cisco IP phones for mass notification services. AtHoc is a Cisco preferred solution developer for the safety and security market.
SOFSA, a unit of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), provides critical and rapid response for joint logistical support to USSOCOM, focusing on Special Operations Forces (SOF) and SOF-unique equipment. SOFSA is expanding the use of its core Cisco IP telephony infrastructure for physical security and public-safety purposes.
The solution will enable authorized operators to send emergency notifications to targeted SOFSA personnel via audio-visual alerts that would appear on the phone displays and speakers. End users will be able to respond and acknowledge alert receipt using the IP phone controls. AtHoc IWSAlerts will track the responses and provide operators with a dashboard that displays the real time status of personnel. Additionally, SOFSA personnel will be able to trigger alerts from their IP phones via a "panic" button, which will be delivered via AtHoc in real time to security personnel in SOFSA's operations center.
