Emergency Services
Transport and Infrastructure
Emergency calls... sirens... flashlights... when ambulances, fire brigades and police are involved, it's all about saving people’s lives or protecting property. With the help of the customised communication platform for rescue forces, even large-scale rescue operations can be managed in a clearly structured, coordinated manner. Commend supports the emergency teams to coordinate their rescue missions with optimum efficiency at every stage, from the first alarm to “Fire out!”.
Applications and key benefits
- Fire service, ambulance, police and other help and rescue services rely crucially on reliable emergency notifications and efficient coordination.
- A networked command post and fail-safe communication system help to rescue lives and property.
- In emergencies, it is vital to be able to make announcements in a clear, easily audible and perfectly intelligible to all rescue workers. All integrated Public Address equipment and Intercom stations at the command post are ready and available to serve this essential purpose.
- Integration with rescue services’ radio communication systems allows for making direct announcements via radio communication or alarm pagers.
- Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy.
- Initiated at the touch of a button, automatically repeating alarm announcements help to reduce the response time of alerted emergency services.
- Coordinating rescue services via radio communication and directing special forces via telephone – all from the same central Control Desk.
At the scene of an emergency, natural communication and clear intelligibility are essential. Information arrives loud and clear without the need to check back, so mishearing the person at the other end can be virtually eliminated. This way, not a single word or precious second is lost in emergency situations.
