Home / Fire and disaster alerting
The MobiCall platform
In the event of a fire or disaster alarm, an immediate mass alerting is required. With MobiCall, the existing ICT infrastructure can be used so that existing telephones and computers are available for audible and visual alarm signalling. IP loudspeakers or central Public Address Systems can be connected together so that the proper announcements are played for instance in halls and corridor areas. A sectoral alert can be configured according to fire compartments or floors and adapted to the local circumstances. The acting people can be coordinated by means of an automatic initiated telephone conference. All operations are logged in detail.

Potential-free contact
Another solution frequently used is the implementation of a potential-free contact to trigger an alarm. Depending on the configuration, each contact can start an individual evacuation scenario.
Graphical user interface (Client PC and Web)
A graphical user interface is also available, of course. With just a few mouse clicks, the user can trigger sectoral alarm scenarios based on the situation.
Smartphone App
A further strength of the solution is that even mobile users (e.g. security officers) can intuitively initiate contingency measures and evacuations using a smartphone app.
Alarm input by phone
An alarm can be triggered by any phone. Depending on the customer’s requirement, it is possible to entitle only certain internal and external units to trigger an alarm or to configure a safety feature through PIN-request.
Subsystems integration
An alarm can also be triggered automatically using a subsystem (fire alarm system or hazard detection system). The detailed alarm information is transmitted through standardised (ESPA 4.4.4 and ESPA-X) and manufacturer-specific interfaces in plaintext. To ensure the utmost security, the connection between MobiCall and the subsystem is checked at regular intervals. If the connection is lost, a technical alarm is immediately set off.
