Students - PosTrack Mobile uses  industry-leading Fixed-Mobile Convergence to combine a campus assigned DID number with a student’s existing cellular phone in a single mobile device. Your students keep their existing cellular account and number while reducing minutes used. The campus number is linked to the VoIP/Wi-Fi soft-phone within the mobile device. The dual- band phones make it easy to achieve blanket campus voice coverage.

PosTrack Mobile reinforces your campus emergency infrastructure. Our dual-band phones distribute emergency call traffic, so more calls get through. We also offer emergency text message alerts. PosTrack Mobile also returns the lost revenue to the campus, since the program may be configured to generate revenue, pass savings along to students, or any combination of the two.

Advancement Staff - Availability is a key factor in maintaining strong donor relationships. By using PosTrack Mobile as a desktop replacement for development staff, you ensure that gift cultivation personnel have full connectivity anywhere, on or off campus. The PosTrack Mobile phone and campus extension will travel with advancement personnel to and from donor meetings, buildings on campus, or networking events around the country.

The “scheduled greeting” feature of PosTrack Unified allows your advancement team to keep contacts informed about their availability. With Unified Plus; incoming calls to their extension can follow them to several numbers on a busy day.

Administrators - When using a PosTrack Mobile phone, high priority conversations will follow administrators as they move between campus buildings and off-campus meeting sites. They can receive a call in their office on their campus extension and seamlessly roam between cellular, the campus WLAN, and any number of on or off-campus Wi-Fi hotspots; giving appropriate attention to important contacts without sacrificing mobility and productivity.

PosTrack Trunking for Existing PBX - As more and more campuses migrate to a VoIP solution, it is important to be cost conscious about leveraging existing telephony equipment. SIP technology, integrated into existing campus PBX systems, is a cost-effective and forward-looking alternative. PosTrack SIP trunks eliminate PRI and POTS lines and lay the foundation for extremely rapid implementation of a full VoIP system (enabling planned & emergency scenarios).

By choosing PosTrack Trunking as the phone service provider for existing PBX systems you ensure continuity of features (for example, call hunt and transfer) with other PosTrack product lines.

Adjunct Faculty - PosTrack Unified provides adjunct faculty the benefits of a campus DID phone number and voicemail box without the need for a physical phone. Voice messages from students and co-workers may easily be checked via e-mail.

Unified Plus adds the ability to keep virtual office hours by scheduling daily times when the greeting contains the announcement, “Press 2 to reach me on my cell phone”. Forwarding the call directly to their private cell number allows adjunct faculty to be reachable by phone without revealing their personal contact information.

PosTrack Mobile allows the campus to provide adjunct faculty with a physical phone and DID campus phone number even if they do not have a campus office. The dual-band phone allows the adjunct faculty to retain their private cellular plan but be provided with the benefit of free voice service provided by the administration while on campus, at home, and in local Wi-Fi hotspots.

Facilities Staff - The cellular portion of the dual-band PosTrack Mobile handsets can be disabled, converting the phone into a mobile WLAN version of a Desktop phone. This allows your highly mobile facilities staff to take the campus phone and extension along on service calls and still maintain full connectivity within the campus WLAN infrastructure. [top]

Administrators - who spend time at multiple district buildings love the "no boundaries" communication of PosTrack Mobile. Any call to your direct line, whether transferred from an assistant or directly dialed, will always reach your dual-band handset. And you stay connected on a call even as you move between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, ensuring that you have streamlined and continuous personal communication while on the move. Imagine how productive you can be by: 1) making a call while in your office while connected to your office Wi-Fi (WLAN) network; 2) traveling to one of the district schools without loosing the call; and, 3) seamlessly returning to free Wi-Fi calling when you enter either your destination school’s WLAN or you return to your office. With PosTrack Mobile, you have all the connectivity of your desk phone anywhere you happen to be. The dual-band handsets have all the productivity features that you have come to expect from your phones, so e-mail, instant messaging, web browsing, and more will help you work with greater efficiency.

Teachers - PosTrack Unified - Providing physical phones to all teachers isn't always the right fit. With a virtual mailbox from PosTrack Unified, teachers can give an easily reachable phone number to parents and student and then check their messages via e-mail. The most common application for this service is a “Homework Hotline” that allows each teacher to work directly and efficiently with their class.

Unified Plus scheduled greetings allow incoming calls to reach the teacher directly in a teacher’s lounge, work area, or even a personal cell phone during free periods at the teachers discretion. This powerful feature enables teachers to construct a time-sensitive greeting for different phone numbers for where they will be at different times during the day.

Schedule Changes - Keep parents informed of Snow-Days, activity cancellations, and schedule changes with PosTrack Unified. Our automated system will greatly reduce the number of inquires about closings that your office staff receives. We create cancellation “hotlines” for your district as well as each individual school. District administrators and school principals update the mailboxes of these hotlines with up-to-the-minute information. These updates can be made from any phone and they include a call forwarding menu. Using the call forwarding menu, the district hotline connects people directly to their school for more specific information.

Here’s an example of what a parent would hear when they call in the morning of a closing: “Hello this is the school closing hotline and I’m Superintendent Smith. All district schools will be closed today. For information on how this will effect the athletic schedule and other activities please press the button that corresponds to your school. Press 1 for Lincoln Elementary, 2 for Roosevelt Middle School, and 3 for Eaton-West High. (Caller Presses 3). Hello, this is Principal Jones at Eaton-West High. The school cancellation will not effect any of the athletic games for today but all practices are cancelled. See you at the game, Go Tigers!”

Multiple Buildings - PosTrack services seamlessly integrate across multiple school buildings, campuses, business offices, and athletic centers. Features like intercom dialing, call transfer, and more will function seamlessly between geographically separated district locations. Thanks to our use of SIP trunking technology, the telecommunications barriers that traditionally come with multiple locations are no longer an issue.

Existing PBX - As more and more districts migrate to a VoIP solution, it is important to be cost-conscious about leveraging existing telephony equipment. SIP technology, integrated into existing PBX systems, is a cost-effective and forward-looking alternative. PosTrack SIP trunks eliminate PRI and POTS lines and lay the foundation for extremely rapid implementation of a full VoIP system (enabling both planned and emergency scenarios). Also, by choosing PosTrack Trunking as the phone service provider for existing PBX systems, you ensure continuity of features (for example, call hunt and transfer) with other PosTrack product lines.

E-Rate - All PosTrack monthly services qualify for E-Rate reimbursement. For Trunking and Unified systems, Tier 1 E-rate covers everything you need. For Mobile and Desktop, the phones are the only additional equipment cost, and they are covered under Tier 2 E-Rate, assuming your district qualifies. PosTrack will amortize the cost of phones in order to facilitate your preferred payment terms.   [top]

Executives - PosTrack Mobile allows executives who split their time between multiple office locations and/or do a lot of traveling, love the "no boundaries" communication of PosTrack Mobile. Any call to their direct line, whether transferred from an assistant or directly dialed, will reach their dual-band handset no matter where they are. And their call stays even as they move between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, ensuring uninterrupted conversations.

With PosTrack Mobile, you have all the connectivity of your desk anywhere you need it to be. The dual-band handsets have all the productivity features that you have come to expect from your phones, so email, instant messaging, web browsing and more follow you on your path to excellence.

Remote workers - PosTrack Mobile allows remote workers to use the same handset and extension at multiple workspaces. Home office workers have access to all the features of the office phone system, including the ability to transfer, make and receive intercom calls. As workers move between home and on-site workstations their handset and direct dial number can move with them.

5 SIP Devices - PosTrack offers a soft-phone client that routes calls over your extension to any computer you wish to use. Your laptop or PC will connect with our soft-switch and become a virtual phone with your extension. It’s like a remote desktop for your phone. This offering is especially useful for workers who spend part of their work week in a home office. Flex-time staff feel more integrated with the team without a hardware purchase.

Traveling workers - have several options. Workers who travel often can choose a mobile handset to permanently replace their desktop phone, which allows their direct office line to easily accompany them on the move. Workers who only travel occasionally can be issued temporary mobile phones linked to their direct line or use the software client described in the “flex-time” section of this mini-site.

Multiple locations - PosTrack services seamlessly integrate across multiple buildings, campuses, and geographic areas. Los Angeles can intercom dial and transfer calls to New York as if they were one office over. Thanks to our use of virtual SIP trunking technology the telecommunications barriers that come with multiple worksite locations are no longer an issue.  [top]
