Product Overview
XOP Networks’ Ringdown Firebar Conference Server scales from 8 ports to 96 ports. It provides direct termination for analog (Red) phones and IP based SIP phones. These crash phone systems are typically deployed in campus locations that are prone to emergency situations, e.g., Airports, Air Force Bases, Chemical plants, Oil and gas installations etc. A person close to the emergency can simply lift the handset on any (or designated) RFCS connected phone and trigger a dial out to the other phones. As first responders answer these calls they are automatically placed into a conference with the initiator. A unique aspect of XOP Networks’ RFCS is its ability to also interface with on-site PBX or IP PBX. This allows people outside the immediate emergency area to be reached via the PSTN. The XOP Networks RFCS systems can be deployed in high availability (99.999%) configuration.
