Cisco Instant Connect is platform that enables Push-To-Talk (PTT) communications in a Cisco Unified Communications (UC) suite of products and other devices such as third-party radios and smart phones. It allows users to use their own devices that are the Apple IOS or Android operating systems, and to user supported Cisco Unified IP Phone models to create an on-premises PTT solution. Cisco Instant Connect allows redundancy, flexibility and scalability of various components of the solution.
Instant Connect seamlessly turns your IP devices - smart phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, IP phones - into PTT devices, bridging any barriers between Radio and IP. This enables your mobile workforce to leverage video, location mapping, text messaging, document sharing, and alerts in additional to PTT.
