Open Standards  are designed so disparate  multi vendor  systems can talk to each other. This is now  helping interconnect the world of different  public agencies  to help  in cases of emergency. Most  agencies use  communications systems that are  designed to be private and  not to  be eavesdropped by the general public causing communications to flow slowly up and down each services communication system instead of flowing across the entire system. For example today there is still no standard way in most emergency scenarios to  communicate at once with  everyone involved  including  all branches of  police to fire workers, campus security, faculty and students.IP communications are helping close this link and enable campuses and cities to create systems that link disparate existing systems and even automate many types of notifications using land lines, cell phones, recorded messages, texting, emails, paging and public addressing system.  Many of these systems are being built be systems integrators and developers for specific market niches and therefore adjust seamlessly into the locally used  communication solutions and create a manage a secure common interface that operates across all different systems. Many of these systems are designed and managed by system integrators together with local agencies and school districts. In particular reverse 911 solutions that enable to record a message and then call everyone involved combined with e-paging over electronic means (texting and email) plus  conventional paging and public addressing will make a huge difference.Read more in Dallas Morning News Article  Specialized ABP Technology Partner resellers create  custom  IP Paging Solutions
