Digital paging solutions

September 2001 Infrastructure

Philips Communication, Security & Imaging (CSI) now offers a range of digital paging solutions that effectively meets the demands of an ever-changing market.

Products in the range of digital paging solutions include the PS-Micro and the DECT6000. Both these systems offer exceptional reliability with advanced technological backing and are suitable for monitoring personal security and enabling permanent reachability.

The PS-Micro is a dedicated personal security device that can be integrated into an existing or new security system and is an alarm-generating device for the on-site alert of a security risk situation. This one-way personal security paging system is equipped to enable different alarm functions including 'manual' alarm, 'no-move' alarm, 'angle-detection' alarm, 'tear-off' alarm and 'fast-move' alarm. A complete optional location detection system has been added. With this system it is possible not only to know who has given the alarm, but also to determine the location of the individual who requires assistance.

As well as transmitting alarm calls, the pagers also transmit check-in calls. All the pagers in the system are constantly checked automatically to ensure that the whole system functions correctly. If a pager fails to confirm its operational status on a regular basis, an alarm signal is generated at the central control PC.

Wireless communication

The DECT6000 provides a cost-effective, cordless solution to staying in touch and makes use of DECT technology that pairs traffic handling capabilities with a high level of audio quality and advanced messaging capabilities.

The Philips DECT6000 offers the convenience of wireless communication, the cost-effectiveness of a pager and the rapid response of a cellphone combined in one Fusion handset. Not dependent on the type of PABX, the DECT6000 can be linked to any new or existing PABX system, with a single system capable of handling up to 128 Fusion handsets.

The Philips DECT6000 recognises different priority messages and supplies up to 14 different bleep patterns to identify the call - for example an assistance call has a higher priority than a normal call, while an emergency call has higher priority than both.
