Acoustic warning systems have been used to provide warnings in emergency situations for ages. Beating on various metal objects was used in ancient times; later bell towers were built for this purpose and at the beginning of the 20th century mechanical rotating sirens started to appear. These are basically composed of an electric motor with a specially adapted head that emits sound while rotating. Even now these sirens are used in many countries. The development of electronics, however, has also influenced this area and first electronic sirens started to appear at the end of the 20th century ...

Just like electronic sirens, electronic public address systems are sound distribution equipment. Yet, while sirens are exclusively used for exterior sound distribution, public address systems can be used for interior sound distribution as well. Another difference between these systems is that the amplifier output of a public address system is divided between several loudspeakers with lower output. The loudspeakers are therefore mounted closer to each other and are usually connected to the amplifier via 100V mains. This use of lower output and a higher number of loudspeakers makes it possible to ...

Telegrafia has developed special equipment and software enabling maximum automation and monitoring of processes carried out by warning and notification centres in order to make these processes more effective. Based on the default scenarios this software and equipment enable automated task execution. They further enable other scenarios including modifications and manual interventions. Operators are able to focus on more critical activities while routine activities are carried out by the software. The core of these systems is represented by ...

As soon as an emergency situation occurs certain activities, namely those defined in default scenarios, are carried out at warning and notification centres. The VEKTRA software package has been developed to support these processes and to maximize the level of their automation. It forms the interface between operators and the technology with which they work. On the basis of our long-term cooperation with our customers this interface has been optimized to make working with the system much more smooth and efficient even in stressful situations.
