Frequentis brings LifeX critical comms to Australia & Germany

Communications group Frequentis has deployed its multimedia communications platform 3020 LifeX across local authorities in Lower Saxony, Germany and Airservices Australia, the nation’s Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP).

According to Frequentis, the solution is made up of two components: the Frequentis’ multimedia collaboration and communication platform LifeX, extended by the messenger, incident and resource management module, OnSite. In Lower Saxony, the existing Frequentis Integrated Command and Control Solution (ICCS 3020), in operation for more than ten years, will be replaced by the next generation of Frequentis communication systems.

As part of the rollout in Germany’s second largest state, police and local authorities, represented by ZPD, have commissioned Frequentis to implement the 3020 LifeX system across eight control centres, one alternate control centre and one test system across three phases to enable interaction in case of overload or failure.

Marc Stothfang, project lead of operations control system for the Lower Saxony authorities, said: “Over the course of modernising the police and cooperative control centres in Lower Saxony, one of the main requirements, among other things, was updating the communication system, as an essential technical component.
