C4i advanced SwitchplusIP communications system

The latest release of C4i’s advanced SwitchplusIP communications system provides a range of safety features for the oil and gas market and all other industries where safety is paramount.

The system provides control room operators with important information such as continual location of workers, location of incoming calls shown on an interactive map display and immediate notification and location of workers in distress. This capability is provided in addition to the system, which already integrates all other voice communications (telephony, conventional radio, public address), CCTV, alarms, facility control and standard operating procedures.

Staff in distress can also be quickly located by control room operators with an auto-pan-zoom feature that activates after receiving a man-down or emergency message from a TETRA handset.

With these capabilities, control room staff can now quickly guide the closest, most appropriate emergency response personnel directly to the site to assist.

In addition, operators can view all of this data on a refreshed user interface.

Other features include: direct IP interface for digital radio systems; continuous position information available for all personnel carrying portable radios; location and unit ID for all incoming portable radio calls are shown on interactive maps; automatic vehicle location; auto zoom on map indicating location of radio man-down activation or emergency radio status; modernised user interface.
