Find the Right Solution
InformaCast Basic Paging can page up to 50 Cisco IP phones simultaneously, which may not be sufficient during a crisis. Singlewire also offers the InformaCast Advanced emergency notification system to send messages to devices within a building or campus, and InformaCast Mobile utilizes a mobile app text alert system and web console to reach people on their mobile devices. InformaCast Fusion alert software provides the best of both worlds, bringing together the ability to reach mobile and on-premises devices from a single interface. See the capabilities of each of these notification solutions below to determine which is the best fit for you.
