The Newest Member of IPC's Integrated Family of Products, IQ/CAD Prevents "Information Overload," Speeds Response Time, and Improves Resource Management

NEW YORK -- IPC Systems, Inc. today launched a unique, map-driven dispatch solution that speeds critical response times and improves resource and event management by delivering instant, visual access to real-time information. IPC Systems, Inc. has been a leading provider of mission-critical communications solutions to global enterprises for more than 30 years.

The 'next generation' in call dispatching, the IQ/CAD provides an interactive map as the central point of focus, supplying real time information in a manner that is specific to the current task.

About Computer Aided Dispatch

Computer Aided Dispatch, or CAD, refers to software used to initiate public safety calls for service, dispatch, and maintain the status of responding resources in the field. It is generally used by emergency communications dispatchers and call-takers in centralized, public-safety communication centers. CAD systems consist of several modules that provide services at multiple levels in a dispatch center and in the field of public safety. These services include call input, dispatching, event status monitoring, field unit communication and tracking, for event resolution. CAD systems also include interfaces to provide additional information and capabilities to dispatchers and field personnel with respect to control and use of analog radio and telephony equipment, alarms and national, state and local databases.
