Cisco adds dispatch console, interoperability for smart phones, other mobile devices to IPICS 4.0; APIs bring in PSIM, other systems

Cisco today is announcing availability of its IP Interoperability Collaboration System (IPICS) 4.0, styling it as a replacement for old, immobile dispatch consoles because of its ability to create a "collaborative" mobile incident management session among first responders, pushing and pulling live video and other media to an array of devices, including smart phones as well as traditional UHF/VHF radios.

Further, IPICS 4.0's policy engine "complements" physical security information management (PSIM) solutions an agency or enterprise might have in place, with the PSIM solution potentially pushing response templates to IPICS and its dispatch console, said Craig Cotton, senior director of product marketing, physical security business unit, at Cisco in a pre-release briefing with Security Squared.
