Ascom Introduces an "All-in-One" Box for Messaging to Improve Personal Security and Mission-Critical Communication
GOTEBORG, Sweden, January 15 /PRNewswire/ -- - Ascom UPAC - Simplifying Professional Messaging Small and medium sized target groups like elderly care homes, retail, schools and social welfare offices will benefit from Ascom's new professional messaging and personal alarm solution; UPAC. Ascom UPAC solves security and messaging functionality in a simple way. It enables sending messages directly from web browsers or it can automatically generate messages triggered by events such as an elevator stoppage or a broken fan. It distributes the messages to DECT or WiFi handsets, to pagers or to GSM telephones via SMS. The solution means easier installation and configuration than comparable alternatives and has an intuitive interface. Existing communication systems can be enhanced with wireless messaging leading to a quicker and more efficient handling of critical events and shorter response times. Ascom UPAC is based on a solid state server running the Linux operating system. It is ideal for all types of customers with a messaging/alarm need for up to 100 users. "The application ensures that a message always will reach its target. For example if a lone worker presses the alarm button the system will pinpoint the location and notify a responsible person to assist. If he/she is unavailable or can not answer, the alarm can be directed to the next person/team or be sent to a GSM mobile", says Torbjörn Enberg, Product Manager at Ascom. He continues, "Furthermore, Ascom UPAC can be used both for supervising equipment and for logging of events. Many industries have high quality assurance goals and need to track processes during incidents. Analysing logged data can help to improve efficiency and proof of service." http://www.ascom.com/ws
