C4i Products Acknowledged Internationally

Company Representative November 3, 2010 Product & Service Announcements

C4i received a Technical Achievement award from the Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting Working Group (ARFFWG) during their annual meeting in Arizona, USA. The award acknowledges the unique and world first implementation of a nationally networked airport Fire Control Centre command and control systems. Using C4i’s IP based product the Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) service within Airservices Australia is able to use this network based technology to remotely monitor and control alarms and communications of any airport fire station from any other station within the nation. This application provides a seamless integration of airport fire station communications, including telephony, radio, aviation emergency response hotlines, and integrated building and alarm control and monitoring systems.

C4i SwitchplusIP based systems are already operating in multiple airports in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Europe. The Switchplus Alarmon system provides a model for other Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting services around the globe looking to streamline their emergency response times and procedures through the use of technology. The integration of existing disparate airport systems combined with the networking of geographically remote locations will enable users to provide inter site assistance in times of crisis via the networked operator positions.

C4i was also recognized by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) after demonstrating its new IP dispatch console in Texas, USA. The APCO association has nominated the SwitchplusIP system as a new Hot Product.

The two internationally recognized industry bodies have recognized the significant technical benefits and advance in their respective market space along with understanding the net benefit to users in their industries of the SwitchplusIP product. C4i is pleased to have its world leading SwitchplusIP product acknowledged in these two mission critical and highly competitive markets.
