ÜSTRA in Hanover Renews the Entire Emergency Call and Public Address Technology with Telematix Component

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

After the new elevated platforms were equipped by Telematix and the conversion of all underground stations was started last year, the remaining overground stations are now also being converted. For this purpose, Telematix AG has received an order worth millions from the “ÜSTRA Hannoversche Verkehrsbetriebe Aktiengesellschaft” to supply the material for the modernisation of the emergency call and passenger public address system for all overground stations.

The order includes, among other things, the delivery of the intercom electronics “VICOS” for 330 emergency call points as well as IP amplifiers, sensor microphones and monitoring technology for 180 overground stops. This will replace old components that are already controlled by the Telematix PASys public address system. The new IP amplifiers will also be integrated into the Telematix automatic train announcement system ZASys.
