C4i is pleased to be one of the first to integrate with the DAMM Tetra flex solution at this level.

C4i have been awarded a contract to supply its advanced SwitchplusIP® mission critical communication system for the APLNG (Australian Pacific; Liquefied Natural Gas) project in Queensland.

SwitchplusIP® VoIP system will provide seamless interoperable communications to users of various analog and digital communications devices, including a Tetra digital radio system from DAMM, conventional analog radios, mobile phones, intercoms and other telephony. In addition to these functions, the system will provide ID and position information gained from the Tetra radio handsets to provide geographical location of assets in the field on the operator consoles. SwitchplusIP® is ideally suited to this type of complex, geographically distributed application.

"C4i is pleased to be one of the first to integrate with the DAMM Tetra flex solution at this level", said Peter Harrison, Managing Director at C4i. "Our ongoing product development program allows our business to look at new markets where we can apply our proven distributed mission critical solutions. This product approach allows C4i to successfully deliver solutions across a variety of vertical markets where each of these markets can benefit from capabilities that were initially developed for other markets." said Harrison.

C4i's SwitchplusIP® remains at the forefront of communications technology, already a generation ahead of most competitors, the inclusion of the DAMM Tetraflex solution for the APLNG project is yet another example of our commitment to maintaining this capability.

This project further enhances the SwitchplusIP® product by providing tighter integration to emerging IP and digital radio technologies such as Tetra, P25, DMR and ICAO and software defined radio suites. C4i's SwitchplusIP® product team is continually advancing the SwitchplusIP® solution to support these technologies, while continuing to support legacy technologies ensuring "interoperability" in its key markets of mission critical communications.

Over the years, C4i have provided many mission critical solutions for industries operating in high availability environments. These state-of-the-art solutions provide essential interoperability between typically stove-piped communications technology, which greatly improves safety and operational efficiency.
