AT&T today announced it is teaming with Wallace Wireless to offer Wallace Information Communicator (WIC) Pager, a premium group alert notification solution for hospitals and healthcare organizations.
WIC Pager from AT&T is compatible with AT&T’s existing Enterprise Paging service, which can extend WIC Pager to virtually any AT&T device and provides enhanced paging functionality such as long SMS messages up to 456 characters, delivery receipts and two-way messaging. This results in enhanced communication that can improve medical information management.
For on-call physicians and caregivers, the WIC Pager software on their BlackBerry® smartphone features a unique inbox to distinguish pager alerts from email and SMS messages and enables one-click call back and one-click response. Distinct ringtones can be set to ring until the alert is viewed, even if the user has their device set to quiet or vibrate.
