[cisco-voip] something different

[Ryan Ratliff]

Any scripting capable app could also do this via control of devices.  The xxx is a route point that routes to the app. The app takes the call, determines who to bridge in, and then creates a conference and directs the desired phones to dial into it.

CUAE is free and the demo license should give you enough to see if you can get it working.

Informacast addresses this with a broadcast group.  It uses the API's presented at each point product to provide a more user friendly solution.

InformaCast is ideal for:

    * Organizations that need to be able to send emergency broadcasts, such as government agencies, schools, and hospitals

Several other vendors offer similar.  All use essentially the same approach:
* post XML instruction to phones to have them join a multicast group
* transmit multicast audio from source to the designated multicast address where all phones are listening
One caveat to this is that it is typically a one way delivery: source to destination, not bidirectional.


There was a DoD partner working on a different approach to address the unidirectional issue. They were looking at invoking a conference bridge (either meetme or adhoc) and conferencing all participants together.  Unfortunately I do not have the name of that company readily available.
