technology partners, CONET supports the safety lab with its comprehensive experience in the setup of joint communication infrastructures and the CONET UC radio suite, which deals with diverse integration, communications and control tasks in the demo system:

  • Thedispatcher solutionof the CONET UC Radio Suite integrates all communication flows. For example, the information from a specialized subway control stand is thus directly integrated into the central control interface of a public control room - including a possible depiction on mobile devices such as tablets.
  • Forconferencing, CONET UC Radio Suite extends the push-to-talk functionality needed for a direct radio communication to workplace telephones with the help of a so-called PTT-controller. In joint conferences everyone who is involved can now communicate directly with each other - independent from the device used.
  • Viaefficient connectors, CONET UC Radio Suite enables the integration of emergency systems and the management of public sounding systems or signaling directly from the control surface
