Fire and rescue

Imagine an incident involving fire at a football match. A situation that could have serious consequences.

Thanks to modern, hybrid communications and smart apps, authorities can get a full situational picture. Via live video feed, the field commander gets a view of the spectators and on the traffic situation near stadium entrances. The field commander can even monitor the physical condition of the team: their heart rate and oxygen levels, for example.

Communications are your critical lifeline in any situation and connected intelligence gives you better situational awareness.

Smartphones in professional operations

Smart fire services are looking for ways to include smart device users in operations – in a secure, controlled way. One way is through a professional group communication application such as Tactilon Agnet.

The Tactilon Agnet push-to-talk app can connect teams seamlessly whether the members are carrying a TETRA/Tetrapol radio or a smartphone – or even an analogue radio or a smartphone.

Adopt Tactilon Agnet 800 smartphone app and your smartphone-carrying staff can communicate in their TETRA groups – like they would on a radio. Tactilon Agnet 800 works seamlessly with Airbus TETRA system, so adopting smartphones will not mean you have to change existing processes and systems.

Tetrapol networks make it possible to implement a hybrid model using a variety of gateways which enable interoperability between Tetrapol and broadband networks.

New technologies such as Artificial Intelligence AI, Virtual Reality VR, and Augmented Reality AR offer new options for public safety apps, such as

• Tracking of vehicles, assets and resources
• Messaging in talk groups
• Camera and video recording, streaming and sharing
• Call taking
• Command and Control in the office and in the field.

VR and AR will play an increasingly important role in the very near future for rescue services, firefighters, and others.

What could virtual reality mean for you professionally - right now? This blog post reveals the answer.

Do you recognize this problem?

When firefighters arrive at an incident, they want to get on with saving lives and property. They don’t want to wade through reams of paper to find the vital information they need. Yet this is the situation facing many firefighters even today.

Firefighters have to bring with them all kinds of information on paper - operational instructions; drawings and diagrams; instructions to find the key locker of the building. On the way to the incident, or at the incident scene, they have to browse through thick bunches of paper. Many times, those papers are not even the right ones. Too often, they have to use the radio to check things with the command center.

SAFEcommand - a better way

A better way would be to automatically get the vital information needed for tackling an incident, without having to shuffle manually through stacks of paperwork that may be out of date. This is exactly what SAFEcommand can deliver.

SAFEcommand is a system that provides real-time location intelligence for staff and vehicles.

SAFEcommand puts frontline fire crews in direct contact with the command and control room via a vehicle-based computer.

They also have easy access to important resources such as:

• tactical plans
• risk information
• standard operating procedures.

The firefighter only needs to tap on the map display, which is centered on the incident. Users, both in the vehicles and in the command and control room, have information on the incident available immediately.

Tactilon Dabat is a smartphone and a full TETRA radio in one device. It is smart, strong and secure.

• Use it as a TETRA radio for critical communications
• Use it as a smartphone for mobile applications and special professional apps.

In addition, Tactilon Dabat offers Hybrid Roaming. Running Tactilon Agnet app, Tactilon Dabat can automatically move from using the TETRA network to using a 4G/5G network or vice versa.

Hybrid roaming means that the user will be able to communicate as long as there is either TETRA or 4G/5G network service available. 

Thanks to hybrid roaming, Tactilon Dabat users are not restricted to stay within TETRA coverage.

New ideas for paging

It's time to think about paging in a new way. A pager does not have to be a one-way beeper. Opt for active, two-way paging today and you can get so much more!

An active pager allows the alerted people to let the control centre know if they are available.

Are you a volunteer firefighter? Then the P8GR active TETRA pager is ideal for you.
