Why useUC to connect IoT devices?
Each device connected to the IoT is assigned an IP address and can transmit data in real time on its own over a network UC. It is through radio frequencies that the connected IoT devices collect information, which is then used to diagnose problems or to optimise and shorten certain processes.
Historically, panic buttons and other emergency systems have been composed of one-way analogue interactions, which are not useful when assessing needs. However, with IoT and connected wireless environments, universities can deploy intelligent panic buttons powered by voice, video and location services, improving the way they assess and respond to each call. The use of real-time communications not only improves security, but also services in general.
By far our favorite, in an "Open Office / Flex office" scenario, employees could interact through Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams with the building when searching for available spaces. The AI would suggest the most suitable place according to different parameters measured through noise, heat, presence sensors, etc.. In the same way, for conference rooms, they could easily find a free room or find a room in which a meeting is taking place by communicating to the connected rooms through their tools UC. The combination of connected objects andUC would allow, among other things, to reach the objectives of optimizing work spaces, enhancing the value of real estate assets or simply making the premises more attractive by offering new services to its employees.
In the event of a fire alarm, employees would be directly notified through Skype for Business of the shortest exit route, taking into account the real time congestion of people. A conference call is automatically set up for all managers so that they can direct their teams.
