Imtradex soon recognized the special needs for the communications equipment’s in the control centers, and have developed table microphones and headsets that bear the special requirements that this area have.

In companies, security agencies and emergency services the control centers come to important tasks. They usually coordinate a variety of labour and emergency services and thus ensure smooth processes and operations. Radio and telephony play an equally important role to keep in touch with colleagues, often with the support provided by computer systems, which help the control center employees with important information in their work.

Imtradex soon recognized the special needs for the communications equipment’s in the control centers, and have developed table microphones and headsets that bear the special requirements that this area have. “In this case the point’s voice quality and ergonomics is important. On the other hand, a high level of practicality in the technical sense is important, to ensure the compatibility with existing hardware” informs Mathias Iser, Technical Director at Imtradex, Hör-/Sprechsysteme GmbH (www.imtradex.com ).

In order to guarantee precise solutions to the control center, Imtradex has developed special accessories for this area all with USB interface: easy to use TM3, table microphone with big PTT, handheld microphones, many headsets - including the BuisnessLine Series, AirTalk and the new BusinessLine 3000. With this established USB-standard, the hear and talk systems can instantly - regardless of the operation system used like Windows or Linux - be connected to the computer system in the control centers. “Our headset can be used for example for VoIP communications. Some can even be with splitting system - radio in one ear and telephone in the other. In addition the installation costs are reduced to a minimum” emphasizes Mathias Iser. The added value with the USB support has opened up a market niche for Imtradex.
The company is one of the only manufacturers that can equip their complete product portfolio with USBinterfaces.

Imtradex accessories can also be used with analog as well as digital (TETRA) radios.
