Introduction:

Avaya Mobile Communications is a quickly deployable system designed to provide communications for emergency response and disaster recovery efforts.

Overview:

To recover from a disruption, Avaya provides flexible, fully-configured mobile communications that can be set up in minutes, virtually anywhere, for emergency response, temporary operations, and more. A mobile communications continuity system must:

Get close to the center of the event or incident and support a wide range of communications: landline, data, cellular, satellite, radio, WiFi, web, and more.
Perform well locally and in situations involving widespread impact of communications and energy infrastructures.
Adapt to meet the communications needs of a wide range of personnel, including first responders, medical, response/recovery agencies, civic leaders, and key enterprises (insurance, financial services, construction, etc.).
Address the period of preparation before an episode occurs and the ongoing rebuilding efforts—not just the communications required in the immediate aftermath of an incident.

Avaya Mobile Communications specifically support emergency response, disaster recovery, and command center operations for governments, response organizations, and businesses. This highly mobile, full-featured system can be quickly deployed to provide communications wherever needed at a moment's notice. The system can be installed in a truck, trailer, SUV, or emergency vehicle. It connects with traditional telephony, IP, or even satellite connections.

The system is available with either Avaya Communication Manager or with Avaya Quick Edition to serve the needs of both first responders and the private sector.

Communication Manager offers full enterprise functionality, built-in encryption and optional VPN tunneling for secure integration into corporate or government networks. The system consists of a G350 Media Gateway and an S8300 Media Server supported by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The PoE Ethernet switching module supports IP telephones and PC connections, while digital/analog trunking is provided for telephony network connections. The system can also connect over satellite links when connected to a satellite service provider.

Avaya Quick Edition provides a quickly deployable solution where ease of deployment is the highest priority. The self contained architecture of the Quick Edition eliminates the need for a media server or gateway, so all that is needed are the phones, network adapters, and a PoE switch.

Any organization that needs to provide communications regardless of network availability should consider integrating Avaya Mobile Communications into their overall emergency response or disaster recovery plans. Avaya offers business continuity consulting specifically focused on helping businesses integrate the system into current continuity plans, or to help them define or refine plans. Additionally, as many companies will keep the system stored in a safe place, but not constantly powered up or connected to their network, Avaya can provide a periodic health check to ensure the system is in working order.
