In densely populated urban areas, communication is essential to ensure safety and efficiency. Cameras in city centres already help ensure public safety, but they have certain blind spots. Audio technology on the other hand offers a solution for remote interaction and addressing emergency situations.
Intercom systems by Commend provide fast, two-way communication with a control center. We offer a wide range of solutions for emergencies and everyday operations, making Smart Cities safer and more efficient. Here are some examples how audio technology can improve the Smart City:
Help points with audio terminals provide direct access to emergency services, making it easier to call for help in the event of an incident. Emergency call buttons can even save lives when calling for help with a mobile phone is not possible, such as in cases of domestic violence.
Info boards placed near transport hubs and landmarks can provide helpful information to visitors in different languages, and can be supplemented with Ivy, our award-winning conversational AI-based Intercom voice assistant.
Talking cameras and emergency call stations together can create safety islands. They allow control center staff to monitor critical situations through video transmission and mobilize security forces, while loudspeaker announcements can help to evacuate areas quickly.
Overall, intercom solutions are a critical component of a Smart City. Find more information on this in our Smart City Whitepaper and on the website.
