These high reliable systems are dedicated to public safety (Police, Gendarmerie), civil security (EMS, Fire Services) and maritime rescue (MRCC, coast guard), transportation and utilities (gas distribution, electricity).

Its leading-edge and innovative control room systems aim to unify the operator access to different communication media thanks to the mastery of the technologies used in critical communications networks: analog radio, TETRA, P25, TETRAPOL DMR, telephony, VoIP, LAN, WAN ...

They also enable interoperability between heterogeneous networks. In this context PRESCOM is an active player in the European project "MACICO" - Multi-Agency Cooperation In Cross-border Operations - labelised "CELTIC -Telecommunication Solutions".
