Standardization Workshop - 3 May
PSCE will be organizing a workshop on standardization in the premises of the German Red Cross in Munich on 03 May 2017.
The workshop will be focused on standardization and more specifically, on the importance for EU projects to put more efforts on standardization activities in order to bring innovation adapted to the fast-changing market. Current available solutions will be addressed.
EU projects (EPISECC, BroadMap) will discuss their personal experience with standardization bodies (ETSI, CEN) and explain the outcomes of their work while industrials, researchers, European bodies (DG HOME) and national authorities will have the opportunity to exchange their point of views and discuss future perspectives.

Swissphone
Total Redundancy - Self-Reliant Alerting and Communication
Swissphone is a leading European provider of alerting and communication solutions for public safety organisations. Founded in 1969, the family owned company has set the standard since in alerting and critical messaging. 250 employees throughout Europe and the US develop, produce and deploy POCSAG networks and pagers, as well as software solutions for resource management and critical messaging.
Swissphone has built 300+ networks worldwide, offering the lowest Total Cost of Ownership compared to other alerting technologies. Swissphone's base stations provide a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 7.4 years, with many of its historic networks running for 25+ years without any technical issues. Should a customer want to update an old network, all components of the solution are fully backward compatible, allowing gradual, economic upgrades as well as maximum investment protection.
Swissphone's latest ITC5 network generation features up to 9 fallback modes. Its base stations can communicate over the air, independent of any IP backhaul or third-party infrastructure - for example in case of a system failure or power blackout. An extremely fast throughput time minimizes the alerting time. Decentralized alarm triggers alert the entire network from any fire station. The individual base stations can be powered by batteries, solar panels or generators, making the network blackout-proof.
Swissphone's latest s.QUAD pager is by far the most sensitive device in the industry (2 uV/m). It is extremely robust, having passed the 2m drop test on concrete and being water- and dustproof (IP67). Its smart design allows battery autonomy of up to 3 months with one single AA battery and alerts with a sound of > 95 dBA @ 30 cm. A BLE connection to Android and Apple smarthones allows to respond back to the control center, enabling status monitoring and resource management before and after an alert.
