Amsterdam is a thriving, busy commercial capital and home to the top financial centres in Europe. The city also attracts large numbers of tourists. It’s key that all visitors, residents and workers are kept safe at all times through the presence of THOR security officers (Toezicht en Handhaving).
Updates to ComBus’ mission critical communications system have been implemented over night with complete success. These nightly updates happen at a time of lower usage and less radio traffic to keep (planned) disruption to the minimum. This activity secures the system’s reliability.
ComBus’ services have been developed to put the unique needs of their customers first as well as the growing needs of the general public. The critical cloud dispatching solution connects front-line personnel with their control room. Not only does it provide complete situation awareness, the Push-to-Talk two-way radios are feature-reach to help pinpoint locations and capture on-scene footage as it unfolds. There are also built-in emergency features to better protect the city’s security officers such as man down and lone worker.
The robustness of these reliable communication devices means that they can operate anywhere and are fully backed up by multiple levels of redundancy in the harshest of environments. With this mission critical communication solution, security officers and control room operators will experience high reachability, availability and reliability, low latency, real-time operating capabilities, high levels of security, private and group communications, and the ability to provide prioritisation, with a guaranteed quality of service.
As the Entropia Group own its own fully managed TETRA network, ComBus can guarantee that there will be no disruption to the service and that their mobile two-way radios will connect instantaneously. The network offers multiple Push-to-Talk functionalities, including half and full duplex, one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many, with guaranteed connection.
iBeacons are small transmitters that detect which mobile devices are nearby. If that is the case, such a beacon sends information to ComBus, whereby the position of the Entropia walkie-talkie or the ComBus smartphone can be determined. For example, in a museum, iBeacons can display the position of all employees on a ComBus map. iBeacons can also point the way to a correct indoor location or warn if an incident is taking place.
The ComBus Push-to-Talk solution is a robust and complete system where the smartphone application, control room software, and ComBus server are coordinated in such a way that calls are made in high speed. The platform is fully IP-based and is hosted in a secure cloud environment in our own state-of-the-art data centres.
