Integrated alarm and location system
October 1st 2007 Ascom provides integrated
alarm and incident location
systems, and the launch of
its new a71 handset marks
the latest development in
that expertise.
The a71 is a full spec
alarm unit with the added
functionality of two way text
messaging and location.
Suitable for use in specific
lone worker situations or
hazardous environments, it
is a compact, feature laden
design. As with all Ascom
personal alarms, it can cocommunicate
with other
Ascom DECT, IP or WiFi
platforms.
The system can generate
four types of alarm call:
press button, snatch cord,
man-down, and no movement.
Alarm calls can be sent to a
central control and/or a
predetermined group of
other handset carriers and
off-site via an autodialler.
The handset has two
types of incident location
devices using IR or RF
frequencies. This enables the
alarm message to include
accurate location information. More articles from Ascom Wireless Solutions Limited: |
