Communications to maintain security and prevent criminal activity

Real-time mission critical voice and data communications provide complete situation awareness to protect security officers and the public.

Special investigators (BOAs) are a vulnerable group of security professionals who work on the front-line. They are first to respond when a crisis occurs. Reliable communication is their strongest weapon. In addition, the police and BOAs cooperate to strengthen the supervision and enforcement in public spaces: from the street to rural areas.

Not all communication systems are suitable when it comes to meeting the communication needs of the BOAs. The system must always work, so that the BOA can speak instantly with a colleague or control room operator. In some instances, it is beneficial for the officer to allow a control room operator to listen-in unnoticed in difficult situations.

The Push-to-Talk two-way radios that the officers are issued with are robust and user friendly. It has essential emergency features which can be activated at the push of a button to keep them safe while they fulfil their duty.

The control room is able to support the front-line personnel 24/7 and react efficiently when needed. To dispatch relevant personnel to the incident quickly it is key that the operators are able to pinpoint the location and credentials of every BOA. The ComBus control room system is equipped with all the features the control room needs to carry out their duty successfully.

In addition, ComBus have developed their system to be completely flexible to meet the unique needs of every client and their software can be seamlessly integrated with existing infrastructure such as mobile phones, tablets and PCs.

Other Municipal Services or BOAs of surrounding municipalities can be added to the network to share costs. This is particularly useful if these other services cannot justify having their own control room.

As ComBus is owned by The Entropia Group it uses the Entropia fully managed radio network based on the digital TETRA standard, which is intended for the professional user. By applying digital trunking technology, optimal radio traffic for both voice and data communication is possible between two-way radios and two-way radios and to a central point, the control room. Because the system has national coverage, it can also be used for users who work at greater distances from each other. The network, secured by encryption and authentication, offers a fast connection with high reliability. In this way, people in the field are optimally supported, which benefits their safety. The Entropia subscription can be fully tailored to the average usage per month, the coverage area and the required facilities.

This cutting edge technology ensures that connectivity remains flawless at any location.
