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

[Ryan Ratliff]

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.

I'm wondering if there is a way to use the annunciator or MOH as a  
high volume announcement source. 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.
