Some customers have challenging Wide Area Network (WAN) environments, making it difficult to support using multicast. Singlewire’s InformaCast solution uses multicast in order to provide the speed and scalability of network-based mass notification. To accommodate these multicast-challenged environments, Singlewire has developed the Singlewire Paging Gateway.
The solution provides:
- Ability to send mass notification broadcasts across the WAN using unicast, which is then converted to multicast at the remote site by the Singlewire Paging Gateway
- Ability to compress the audio stream across the WAN, consuming 75% less bandwidth (20 kbps vs. 80 in an uncompressed stream)
- Easy installation and configurability as a plugin from within the InformaCast software administrative interface
- Deployment options in two formats: as a software virtual appliance, or as a dedicated hardware appliance
