“Smart City” has already become an established technical term in modern city planning. It refers collectively to a set of concepts for the sustained development of urban environments. The main idea is to make them more efficient, more technically advanced and more ecologically sound for the benefit of inhabitants, commuters and tourists. An essential means to achieve this goal are latest information and communication technologies and data collection methods.
When it comes to making cities smarter, Commend has a lot to offer in terms of information and security: trusted solutions that address all communication senses, from seeing and hearing to talking and manual interaction. Their ‘smart’ focus is on four main functions:
INFORMING – HELPING – PROTECTING – IMPROVING
Informing
Informing via interactive displays and loudspeakers in public areas such as bus stops or train stations, tourist information points, sights, parking facilities or e-charging stations:
- Public transport time tables, tourist and city information
- Weather and environmental data
- Visitor and event details
- News and web content
- Advertisements
- and much more
Helping
Helping by means of direct voice connections (if required, with added video and touch screen support) for instant, targeted help at the push of a button or a tap of a finger – provided, for example, by the public transport operator, the tourist information bureau, or the e-charging provider.
Of course, the help functions are also designed to be easily accessible for people with visual or hearing impairments.
Protecting
Protecting with audio/video and display solutions to aid in the prevention, response to, and information about emergency situations. The possibilities range from Emergency Call Stations to “Talking Cameras” with built-in two-way loudspeakers.
"After all, a smart city is also – and above all – a safe city."
6 ways to make cities safer.
Improving
Using data for targeted measures, based on features and functions for intelligent creation and evaluation of audio data from Intercom stations, modules and loudspeakers.

Smart City App Integration

Talking cameras
Video and audio form the perfect security team. Often the camera view is not enough and here IP speakers enable direct communication with those affected on site.
Public buildings
Based on a risk analysis, technical measures are taken in buildings to provide the best possible protection for employees and persons present in hazardous situations. How Advanced Security Building Intercom Systems (ASBIS) work and more about the European standard EN 62820 can be found here.
Police stations
If police stations are not currently manned, the call at the entrance intercom is forwarded to a control centre.
