The use of pollable remote access units enable integration of phone systems with telecommunications management, plus system-wide access, monitoring and alarm notification that includes unmanned remote sites. Few telephone networks connect a user base that is involved in such a multitude of vital services as local governments. In Pierce County, WA, that includes a plethora of departments and agencies: Emergency Management, Sheriff’s Department, the jail, courts, public works, parks, Assessor-Treasurer, Auditor, Health Department, even a portion of the 911 call center.
