Many customers choose to change or expand their existing communication equipment to newer generations when buildings are renovated or expanded, when new systems become available and/or when a last-time-buy opportunity is presented for systems/components about to become obsolete.

CCoIP on a backwards compatible system

STENTOFON introduce new technologies into the market, but will always make sure that these new technologies are compatible with the older systems. CCoIP, or Critical communication over IP, is a concept that stands for a communication system running only on the IP standard. The latest intercom stations are entirely IP based which means they support power over Ethernet and use the LAN to connect the server.

The AlphaCom server supports IP technology but can nevertheless integrate with old intercom products such as TouchLine and Ring-Master. STENTOFON offer a wide range of intercom stations based on either analog or IP technology. The stations offer the highest audio quality available in intercom. The IP stations go up to 7 kHz and the analog stations can go twice as high, up to 14 kHz.

Investment Protection

STENTOFON understands the importance of other communication solutions in a security system. Therefore Zenitel has developed an open platform on the AlphaCom exchange in order to integrate as many technologies as possible. The AlphaCom server is designed to support the IP protocol which means it will also support new protocols based on IP.
