PETERBOROUGH, ON – Rogers has chosen Monroe Electronics’ messaging platform to provide emergency public alerts in select markets across Canada, announced its Canadian distributor, Capella Telecommunications.
Monroe’s One-Net platform filters and forwards targeted alerts from Canada’s National Alert Aggregation and Dissemination (NAAD) system with full support for Canada’s unique Common Alerting Protocol messaging profile (CAP-CP). This will allow customers in affected regions to receive emergency alerts in multiple languages and instructions in both visual and audio formats.
“This is an important step in the process of providing emergency public alerts for our customers”, said Eric Bruno, Rogers’ VP of video product management, marketing, in the press release. “We believe it’s vital that all carriers put the necessary infrastructure in place to deliver targeted alerts from Canadian authorities.”
In other company news, Capella is rolling out Huawei TE30 videoconferencing endpoint products to the Canadian market. A cost-effective, compact and easy-to-install solution, the TE30 is designed to meet the needs of small and medium-size enterprises and organizations, and can be deployed in smaller conference rooms and offices.
Offering the world’s first 3-in-1 endpoint, including camera, codec and microphone, the solution is interoperable with standard endpoints and infrastructure. The TE30’s patented technology also provides exceptional voice and video quality while reducing bandwidth requirements.
