Dialogic
Releases New Version of
GIS -
Driven Software for Emergency Notification
Franklin, Tennessee – Dialogic Communications
Corporation (DCC), the global leader in emergency
notification technology, today announced the latest release
of GeoCast® Web, version 1.4. This much-anticipated release
of the company’s GIS-driven software for emergency
notification delivers expanded functionality and a number of
new features, beneficial to users in both the public and
private sectors. It is a fundamental part of what is now
dubbed the industry’s only complete notification solution.
One of the most significant enhancements to Dialogic’s
GeoCast Web is the addition of a Public Registration page.
This feature expands map-based communications to include
people with unpublished numbers, as well as those with cell
or satellite phones. To receive automated notifications,
residents simply opt-in by submitting their contact
information through a secure website. This data is then
downloaded from GeoCast Web and submitted for geocoding, a
process which essentially ties these numbers to the
appropriate area map(s).
Other modifications include a 60% larger map viewing area
and the importation of .wav files for message delivery. The
new Notification Alert Recipient feature automatically
informs select individuals (e.g., officials, management,
etc.) by phone or email that a notification is underway.
GeoCast Web, version 1.4, also offers enhanced
text-to-speech capabilities, automatically converting typed
messages to voice at the time of activation.
GeoCast Web enables users to communicate with any number of
individuals, based on location, for both critical and
routine events. The software, accessible using any web
browser, is ideal for large-scale communications related to
inclement weather, evacuations and missing persons, as well
as public announcements. It utilizes ESRI’s ArcIMS
technology, the industry-standard in GIS, allowing users to
view their particular digital, street-level maps, identify
targeted notification areas and monitor communications from
virtually any location.
“Our customers are the driving force behind Dialogic’s
solutions,” says Gene Kirby, Division Vice President and
General Manager. “We know that as their critical
communications needs grow and change, the very best
technology and the most reliable information must be at
their fingertips. With version 1.4 of GeoCast Web, they can
be equipped with both.”
