Ascom IMSReliable communication
Combining a proven durable hardware platform with flexible and user-friendly configuration software, the IMS effectively manages, modifies, escalates and tracks messages and events. An embedded Linux server with a web-based user interface makes installation and maintenance simple. An Open Access Protocol (OAP) allows applications to be completely customizable by users to fit specific needs.

Two-way messaging
Ascom advanced two-way communication allows quick response to messages and events. An external system can query and record detailed responses and actions, while previously delivered messages can be remotely deleted based on system events or mobile user response. With the press of a button, a message can be escalated to a backup recipient.

The IMS also enables Ascom portable handsets to generate different alarms and mobile-originated data. Alarm messages identify the portable handset, type of alarm, as well as system and connecting base station. When integrated with the Ascom UNITE messaging suite, the IMS opens the door for a wide range of application specific messaging platforms.

Detailed audit trail
The IMS time-stamps and captures all events, such as message delivery and user response which is stored by Ascom Communications Server (ACS). This audit trail provides reporting necessary for performance assessment exercises and it’s this unique functionality that makes the IMS ideal for support of continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.

Central phonebook directory
A mobile user can query a common central phonebook stored anywhere on the network. Central administration allows users to be added or deleted from the common database — eliminating the need to update each portable handset individually. The IMS also allows local phonebook storage for an all-in-one, reliable messaging server.
