WHAT IS GRAYMATTER VoIP?
VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL (VoIP) IS A TECHNOLOGY THAT ENABLES YOU TO PLACE AND RECEIVE PHONE CALLS OVER YOUR EXISTING INTERNET CONNECTION.
Businesses are choosing VoIP over traditional phone lines, as it offers many more capabilities than legacy phones and it can do it all for a substantially reduced cost.
With GrayMatter Network’s VoIP, your school no longer needs a separate voice network. All that is required is a high-speed broadband connection. Moving your facility to our VoIP solution will provide administrators and teachers access to a wide variety of applications, advanced communication, collaboration, and productivity capabilities. GrayMatter Networks can handle it for you.
VoIP is quickly gaining traction among academic institutions as a solution for increasing educational demands and tight budgets.

WHAT IS BRAINBOX ALERT?
NEW REGULATIONS REQUIRE LOCATION INFORMATION TO TRANSMIT WITH 911 EMERGENCY CALLS.
With these new regulations, schools are challenged by large capital expenditures to replace their legacy systems. That is no longer the case. Brainbox Alert will overlay your legacy phone system, interface with your current voice provider and bring your school into compliance using our VoIP Trunking.
Emergency calls are captured and redirected to our state-of-the-art cloud facility to route to the proper emergency location. Using our database, all the proper information is inserted into the emergency call and transmitted – making you compliant. Notifications via email, SMS and phone calls on all emergency numbers dialed will go out to designated contacts. Dispatchable location information (extension or room number) will be sent to emergency services.
Keep your legacy phone system intact to preserve your investment. No need to cancel existing voice contracts, however, even if you upgrade your phone system, your carrier might not support ng911. BrainBox Alert bridges the gap without breaking your budget.
RAY BAUM’S ACT
Ray Baum’s Act mandates the transmission of a dispatchable location to the emergency services on an emergency call. That means that the property must send the address, extension and short description of where the extension is located to the emergency services.
KARI’S LAW
Kari’s law mandates unencumbered dialing for 911 in addition to alerting someone on site. Legacy PBX systems have developed alerting via the front desk console, but consoles are a thing of the past – they are cumbersome, take up room and very expensive. Brainbox Alert will alert your property personnel via email, SMS or phone call. Set schedules of who gets alerted when. Maintain proper logs of alerting. Acknowledgement of alerts is available with full tracking.

WHAT IS CALLSHIELD?
CALLSHIELD ALLOWS PHONE CALLS FROM PERSONAL PHONES TO APPEAR AS IF THEY ARE MADE FROM THE SCHOOL’S NUMBER.
With Callshield, faculty and staff can make calls using their own phone without disclosing their private number. At the same time, parents and students can make calls to faculty while shielding the staff member’s phone number. When receiving a Callshield call, students and parents recognize the organization’s phone number enabling trust in the source of the call, thus improving communication and operational efficiency.
