[cisco-voip] using Annunciator and/or MOH for high volume announcements

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Can you elaborate on this a bit?

We are hoping to use something like IPCelerate/Cistera to send a broadcast page out, but wanted a number for people to call for updates, etc. People will be very worried if there is no number to call.

  You'll run into the same scalability issue with both Annunciator or CTI ports as you would Unity ports I'm afraid.    For high volume (in the 1k to 10k+ range) I think a broadcast page instrucing the phone to listen to a multicast stream is the way to go and even that has the limitation of users starting to listen mid-message.

We are looking at emergency communcations on campus and would like a call in number that people can call that will give them information. Even if it is something that needs technical staff to implement. I know I can use callhandlers, but that would easily take up our 96 ports once the message went out. I was hoping something like a blocked route pattern playing an announciator or calling a CTI route point that immediately put someone on hold.

  I know people have talked about it in the past, just wondering if there has been any updates or new discoveries.
