XOPNetworks creator of a digital collaboration bridge (DCB), has launched Ringdown Firebar Conference Server (RFCS), which acts as “Crash Nets” on campus locations which are prone to emergency situations like Chemical plants, oil and gas installations, airports, including Air Force base. When an emergency occurs, anyone can lift a Crash Net phone which automatically triggers a dial out calls to other crash net red phones. All the responders would then be linked to an audio conference with the initiator of the call, this is when collaboration starts.
The Ring down Firebar Conference Server runs on top of a Linux platform uses a distributed FXS to VoIP gateway architecture which allows use of tupical anolg emergency “Red Phones” as well as using VoIP/SIP phones.
About XOPNetworks (from http://www.xopnetworks.com/)
Beginning in 2003, XOP Networks embarked on developing a next generation IP based service and application platform. Realizing this vision, we shipped our first product, a Digital Collaboration Bridge (DCB) in 2004. A DCB combines rich Audio Conferencing with Desktop sharing, Application sharing and White boarding, thus creating a collaborative experience for the end users. Leveraging the success of the DCB, the product portfolio was expanded in 2005 to include the Group Alerting and Conferencing Server (GACS). The GACS allows mass notification messages to be dispatched over a variety of communications networks, while it brings an organization’s brain trust into a quick audio conference. Year 2006 saw the addition of the enhanced Voice Mail Server (VMS) to the product line. In 2007 XOP Networks launched its Universal Service Node (USN) which offers multiple value added services on one platform. In 2008, we added support for Hoot and Holler conferencing over TDM and VoIP networks on our USN platform. In 2009 we introduced Ring down Firebar Conference Server (RFCS) that allows a conference to be set up simply by lifting a handset on an analog or IP phone. Several other enhancements were introduced including support for Secure conferencing, SMS driven instant-conferencing, Group SMS and Voice SMS capabilities. The product line was also hardened for use in defense networks.
