E911 Emergency Support

Enhanced 911

On-site Notification service allows on-site individuals to be notified in real-time when someone dials an emergency number from a local extension. The service supports multiple notifications and multiple emergency numbers.

The notification will include the caller’s extension, caller’s name, and the emergency number dialed. And notification can be set up so that notification goes to central place in the schoolboard for all 911 calls.

Scheduled Announcements

Flexibile Mass Communications

Our Scheduled Announcements application can be used to schedule calls that deliver pre-recorded messages.

You can avoid the need for a separate bell ringer system by scheduling and playing a bell recording through the speaker on desktop telephones.

We also support paging through desktop telephones. So there is no need for a separate PA system in many locations.

Redundant Communications

System Survivability

Having communications service available when you need it is critical for both safety and normal operations. We call it 5 Nines (99.999% uptime)

Disruptions can occur due to hardware or network issues and can leave everyone scrambling for resolution when it happens.

E-MetroTel allows for increased continuity of communications for network issues with either hardware at the location or in the cloud. And we provide a failover option for call server issues at the premise.

Connect Everyone

Schools. Admin. Support.

E-MetroTel solutions support incredible flexibility for connecting everyone regardless of location.

We can deploy your call solution centralized with a main hub and each facility as a branch location. And we can do it with on-premise hardware or in the E-MetroTel cloud.

We can put hardware at each location or put the whole solution in the cloud. How it is deployed depends on what is required for your specific needs.

Switch Devices Easily

Find Me / Follow Me & Hot Desking.

Our devices are powered by our powerful XSTIM Smart Signaling which allows for many great features. One of our most popular feature is Find Me / Follow Me, which allows calls to ring on all of your devices so that you don’t miss a call.

We also support Hot Desking which allows you to easily move your extension profile from one device to another. So you can use the phone in your office, move to a classroom and transfer your extension and all of your programming to a phone in the classroom.

You can easily start a call on a device and move it to another device. For example you can start a call on your mobile device and when you get to the office move it to your desk phone .
