Expanding Traditional Systems with IP
Through IP, AlphaCom E improves cost-efficiency, installation, service capabilities and system operations. The AlphaCom E also provides full backwards compatibility. New generation IP stations and services can be mixed with conventional analog ones, thereby capitalizing on existing equipment and competence.
Interactive Sight and Sound Security System
AlphaCom E enhances integration capabilities by establishing a complete security environment. The key to improved security is to combine closed circuit television with two-way audio. The passive monitoring system becomes an interactive sight and sound security system. Overall, it delivers a fully scalable modular architecture to accommodate growth and change, offering a variety of features that can be added as needed, including networking capabilities to extend the system geographically and to interface with other systems.
Total Security Solution Using Open Connectivity Standards
Integration with STENTOFON works in two ways. One way is to integrate AlphaCom E into a total solution. By use of standards such as OPC, it is possible to integrate the STENTOFON products into a full security package. The other way is to integrate another security feature into AlphaCom E. STENTOFON supports the full integration of almost any Public Address system.
Expanding Mass Notification Coverage Using IP Public Address
The PA system is connected to the AlphaCom exchange server either via IP or analog connection boards. The AlphaPro software has a wide range of features to set up, manage and maintain the entire PA system. One feature is called the micro-zone. Speakers are “labeled” as part of a micro-zone where the zone will get an intercom extension. Whenever that extension is dialed from any station, only those speakers will broadcast the message. This makes it very easy to make local announcements at hospitals, airport gates, parking facilities, etc. A PA speaker can be a part of many micro-zones and AlphaCom supports hundreds of these zones.
