Innovative communication solutions for critical infrastructures

pei tel Kommunikationstechnik offers highly specialized solutions for secure and reliable communication in areas that place the highest demands. The technologies focus on supporting the fire department, police and emergency services. In addition, the communication systems are also used in critical infrastructures such as the rail sector or by energy suppliers. In these sensitive areas, where the security and availability of communication is crucial, pei tel provides reliable technologies that are precisely tailored to the specific requirements.

Revolutionary duplex communication for fire departments

One highlight at PMRExpo is the new duplex communication unit specially designed for fire departments during firefighting operations. This technology makes it possible for the first time for firefighters to speak and listen at the same time during operations - a revolution compared to conventional simplex communication, where they have to speak alternately. Thanks to full-duplex technology, firefighters can communicate freely without using their hands, which is particularly important in critical operations. Firefighters can act faster and more efficiently, which significantly increases the safety and success of operations.

Secure and flexible communication technology

The communication unit is based on a MESH network that uses Bluetooth-like frequencies. This technology allows up to 16 people to be connected to each other, whereby two people can conduct encrypted duplex communication in the special application for fire departments. Encrypted transmission ensures a high level of data security, which is particularly important in safety-critical applications. This innovative solution is unique on the market and sets new standards in secure communication.

Development based on real demand

The development of the duplex communication unit is based on intensive market analysis and close cooperation with fire departments. The first preliminary stages of the technology, for example with simpler headsets, have already been used successfully. The feedback from the field confirmed the need for such a solution and paved the way for the development of the highly complex systems. The new unit from pei tel addresses precisely these requirements and offers a practical, future-oriented solution that did not previously exist in this form.
