The WoIP mass notification network is comprised of a collection of secure, robust Ethernet communication devices, dubbed the IP Communicators (IPC) line. This enterprise system solution allows organizations to leverage their Local Area Network (LAN) or utilize the IPC private network to send audible, visual and data messages. Through Ethernet radios, a wireless solution is also available.
The system also allows multiple sites and facilities located anywhere in the world to be tied together through a Web-client Graphical User Interface (GUI) for managing global notification and system monitoring. System redundancy features allows multiple users to be simultaneously logged into the system for additional points of command and control.
