NIS-R helps to save lives and disseminate information

Our VICOS-CSL call point electronics enable you to operate emergency call points directly in a fibre optic ring. No expensive copper cables or additional network components such as media converters or switches are required to cross-link the call points.

The ring topology increases the availability as each call point is accessible from two directions. If an optical fibre is destroyed (e.g. by a fire in the tunnel), the communication to the call points behind the point of failure takes places in the opposite ring direction:

Therefore the VICOS-CSL solution is superbly suited for tunnel emergency call solutions.

In addition to the emergency call function, the VICOS-CSL call points offer the following features:

• If installed in an alarm box: Monitoring of the box door, the fire extinguisher and, for example, the fuse
• Can be supplied either as a hands-free option or with a handset
• Integrated induction loop amplifier for people with impaired hearing
• Broadband, analogue PA output
• Integrated layer 2 switch and Ethernet ports for connecting a second call point or another network device (e.g. a sensor or camera).

The VICOS-CSS call point electronics allow you to replace an analogue or ISDN-based emergency call system cost-effectively with a state-of-the-art VoIP emergency call system by reusing the existing copper cabling (two-wire cables).  Therefore it is particularly well-suited for replacing metro emergency call solutions or in general for tunnel emergency call solutions.

As the VICOS-CSS has two DSL ports, this call point type can also be used to implement ring topologies. The first call point in any line can be remote-fed from the SHDSL-GW.

The VICOS-CSS can also be operated in a star network. This topology does not require a local power supply as the call points are connected directly to the SHDSL-GW and can therefore be remote-fed.

In addition to the emergency call function, the VICOS-CSS call points offer the following features:

• If installed in an alarm box: Monitoring of the box door, the fire extinguisher and, for example, the fuse
• Can be supplied either as a hands-free option or with a handset
• Integrated induction loop amplifier for people with impaired hearing
• Ethernet port for connecting another network device

If you want to use an existing data network (LAN/WAN) for your emergency call system, the VICOS-CSA call point electronics are perfect for you.

The VICOS-CSA offers a standard Ethernet port (10/100Base-T), as well as optionally/alternatively an optical LC port (100Base-FX) for a direct fibre optic cable connection.

Various power supply options enable you to operate the VICOS-CSA in a customised manner:

• Remote power supply via Ethernet (PoE PD)
• Local power supply (48 VDC)
• Power supply via a solar panel

In addition to the emergency call function, the VICOS-CSA call points offer the following features:

• If installed in an alarm box: Monitoring of the box door, the fire extinguisher and, for example, the fuse
• Can be supplied either as a hands-free option or with a handset
• Integrated induction loop amplifier for people with impaired hearing
• Separately accessible, electrically isolated PA output (second canal) for making broadband announcements PA system

Our WAM-GSX call point is a completely autonomous emergency call solution for communication via an existing mobile network (GSM/UMTS/LTE or GSM-R). Power to the call points is supplied via solar panels and batteries. This solution completely does away with expensive cabling of the call points.

In order to further increase the availability of the call station, a second SIM card can be inserted. This way, two independent mobile networks can be used.

At the control centre, emergency calls can be received either directly via our GSM gateway (air interface) or alternatively via a landline (PSTN gateway).

A GSM gateway may contain up to four 4 GSM modules and, accordingly, put through up to four calls at the same time.

The housing of the WAM-GSX call point is vandal-proof and an alarm is triggered if the housing is opened or the solar panel removed. In addition, the call points are equipped with a motion sensor that also triggers an alarm if the call point is moved or knocked over.

This GSM-based emergency call solution is suitable for all locations where fixed cabling is not possible or uneconomical (e.g. on a motorway, in a railway station, on campus, in public areas, in remote/ undeveloped places, etc.).

This solution is also optimal for situations where an emergency call facility is required only temporarily (construction sites, major events, provisional solutions).
