(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ascom Wireless Solutions, the market leader of integrated “mission critical” communication solutions has been selected to deliver a robust and secure alarm and monitoring solution to Devon and Cornwall Police.
Devon and Cornwall Constabulary cover the largest geographical police area in England which extends for 180 miles. They are responsible for policing a population around 1.5 million which rises to 8 million during the summer months due to the influx of visitors.
Ascom’s relationship with the Constabulary dates back to 2009 when a paging and alarm system was implemented at their Charles Cross station. The Plymouth based site has since been through a full refurbishment including an overhaul of their communication system.
“Ascom are very proud to work in a strategic partnership with Devon and Cornwall Police to support their workflow and organisation, improving efficiency and delivering excellent public service. Our on-site integrated wireless staff protection system provides a state-of-the-art technology solution for the stakeholders involved,” says Dennis Andersson, Vice President Global Sales at Ascom Wireless Solutions.
The new communication solution utilises Ascom’s robust and renowned IP-DECT platform, featuring ruggedised Ascom d81 handsets. Based upon extensive knowledge of supporting demanding environments such as secure establishments, Ascom have offered the station a way to provide protection to their officers within their custodial suites.
Officers are given a choice of alarm triggers on the unit. Upon activation these alarms are sent out to Ascom handsets as well as being presented graphically in the Custody Office, showing the alarm location. Ascom have also integrated with existing third-party hardwired system alarms which, when triggered, send a message to handsets to show the location and type of alarm.
The solution enables officers to respond quicker as they can immediately identify the location of the alarm, ensuring they go directly to the scene of the incident.
Ascom currently work with the largest mental health trust in the UK to provide staff protection across their multiple sites and have an integrated alarm solution in Jersey’s H.M.P La Moye. Devon and Cornwall Police will add to this growing portfolio of secure establishments within the UK.
