Public Safety
Command and Control
Centre Solutions
FREQUENTIS is a leading provider of command
and control centre solutions for the police,
ambulance, and fire and rescue services. We
unite innovative products with state-of-the-art
technology and a comprehensive service package
for solutions specially tailored to meet specific
needs.
Relief organisations are working around the
clock to help people. Command and control
centres play a central role in their work.
They serve as hubs and information centres
where the missions are coordinated and directed.
State-of-the-art communication and information
systems support controllers in their work
and make it possible for them to concentrate
on their essential duties. A "code red"
mission puts both man and machine to the test.
The business unit Public Safety from FREQUENTIS
provides extremely reliable, powerful, yet
easy to use systems. They guarantee quick,
safe and effective mission execution for often
every second counts!
Maritime Systems
Maritime Business -
It is part of the Austrian Heritage
Yes, Austria today has no maritime coastline
- but it does have a great maritime history.
Safety and security issues on European seas
were of major relevance for Austria over
many decades. Technology - and politics
- have changed since then. So have the common
threats. But the understanding of the concerns
of men at sea and of the authorities being
responsible for the safety of maritime traffic,
remains as strong as ever!
Maritime Business -
It is Part of the Austrian Presence
Having delivered the most complex solutions
in this field makes FREQUENTIS a major player
in the maritime communications world! Countries
with great maritime tradition like Norway,
Denmark, Germany and the UK rely on the
high quality and functionality of FREQUENTIS
systems. Even in quite demanding environments,
the highest customer expectations are met
by FREQUENTIS.
Maritime Inventions - Another Austrian First
When the Austrian born inventor Joseph Ressl
patented his new design for a ships propeller
in 1827, no one would have dreamed of the
revolution that he started for the world
of maritime transport. Today, FREQUENTIS
develops most sophisticated solutions for
it's customers in any scale. Whether it
is a big AIS network solution with intelligent
data compression to avoid unnecessary data
volume and cost - or a small testing unit
to identify corrupted DSC data call messages
- nothing is out of range for our dedicated
and highly skilled engineers!
Railways & Municipal Public Transport
On track for the future
Since 1996, FREQUENTIS is a renowned manufacturer
of communication equipment for municipal
public transport and railways. The special
demands of public transport call for just
the products and competencies which are
provided by FREQUENTIS.
FREQUENTIS engineers have studied communications
applications specific to railways, light-rail
and municipal public transport. As a result
of the crossover with air traffic control
and command control mastership, we are now
able to provide our customers with the most
innovative products and solutions.
The fields FREQUENTIS covers are GSM-R, Operations
Control Centres, Dispatch Centres, Communications
Networks.
Frequentis puts railway operators on the right
track for next-generation communication systems.
Vision & Telematics
Command and control centres as well as traffic
management control systems play a vital role
in providing public safety and in the handling
of complex and time critical missions. State-of-the-art
communication and information systems support
the controllers in their work.
Today, these systems more and more often include
video surveillance systems. A picture "tells
more than 1000 words", and it is the
controller at the command and control centre
who is naturally the first to need that critical
video information.
But video surveillance traditionally comes
at high costs: the sheer data volume of video
streams requires expensive and complex video
transmission networks to get the video stream
to the command and control centre. Therefore,
many remote locations, like tunnels, bridges,
train crossings and remote city areas are
currently often excluded from video surveillance.

TETRA - TErrestrial Trunked RAdio
TETRA is the open standard for a new generation
of digital land mobile radio communications.
It is designed to meet the needs of the highly
demanding professional mobile radio networks
(PMR) as used by Public Safety organisations,
Utilities, Transport, Military, Railways,
and others. In cooperation with FREQUENTIS,
TETRA systems have been installed in a lot
of countries around the world like e.g. Russia,
China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea,
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela
and Nigeria.
TETRA is the only existing digital PMR-standard
defined by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
Therefore, high product availability and excellent
interoperability (IOP) are guaranteed. The
European Community agreed on the common use
of TETRA in the context of the Schengen Treaty.
Almost 100 organisations, including FREQUENTIS,
from all continents are represented in the
TETRA Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Association,
which works on standards and publishes relevant
information.
The main applications are voice and extensive
data communication services. Networks based
on the TETRA-standard provide cost-effective
and secure communications with advanced capabilities
for mobile and stationary users in companies
and organisations. It features fast call set-up,
high data rates, group calls and direct mode.
As a standard, TETRA should be regarded as
complementary to GSM and DECT. In comparison
with GSM, TETRA is more fail-safe, implements
a higher security level and allows excellent
network coverage. In contrary to the older
Tetrapol systems TETRA provides features like
full-duplex calls and roaming in addition
to a spectrum-efficiency that is twice as
high as that of Tetrapol.
With the foundation of a TETRA-specialised
company, the 3T Communications
AG, within the framework of the FREQUENTIS
Group, FREQUENTIS underlines its position
in the TETRA market.
In co-operation with 3T, Frequentis can focus
on offering highly specialised TETRA-know-how.
