Cisco IPICS Enhances Safety and Security at Cisco

Overview

Cisco campus in San Jose reaches up to 20,000 people per day. They wanted to manage on-premise emergency response and day-to-day safety and security operations as well as enable location-independent dispatch and collaboration across security operations centers. The challenge was to reduce costs of maintaining dedicated leased lines to Cisco sites for radio communications. Cisco campus deployed Cisco Internet Protocol Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) solutions. This resulted in more rapid response to emergencies, reduced costs of maintaining radio infrastructure and there was better situational awareness from responders, management, and key executives during crisis situations.
