In transportation settings, where time is of the essence, the importance of clear intelligibility cannot be emphasized enough. Airports and transportation hubs must prioritize the selection of the right audio products to ensure that vital information is conveyed effectively to passengers.
Since implementing the first Platinum Assurance Plan in 2009, AtlasIED Support Services has been providing customers with the finest, most comprehensive, preventive support program for trouble-free communication systems. Via preventive measures, these plans can reduce the risk of unplanned, unscheduled interruptions of life safety and MNEC (Mass Notification and Emergency Communication) systems.
An increasing number of specifications are defining requirements for Class A or Class B wiring for life safety systems and technology that comprise, enhance, or complement said systems. The different wiring methodologies pertain to how a conventional fire alarm panel, or other mass notification system, is monitoring the speaker signal chain for faults. Additionally, it identifies requirements for the system design to mitigate those faults.
How can a GLOBALCOM® mass communications system assist in keeping an airport secure? By being the system hub for the communications infrastructure and other technologies that allows the staff to respond to suspicious activities and provide effective instructions to travelers.
Traveling through an airport is all about ease, efficiency, and comfort. If some travel friction points can be removed, everyone will enjoy the airport experience more because the ultimate end user “traveler” feels better. When one feels better, they think better.
When Chicago O’Hare wanted to update the airport’s public address system, this massive undertaking required future-forward knowledge and expertise, especially within the IT/IP space. To help, AtlasIED partnered with Pentegra to design and execute the complex project.
The recently signed Infrastructure Bill will impact our industry in many ways. For five years, the bill provides $25B for airports alone, $39B for public transit, and $66B for passenger and freight rail. This allocation will manifest new builds, renovations, and expansions – which will include technology, both security and audiovisual.
One of the industries most impacted by COVID-19 was transportation. AtlasIED's Dave Moriarty, Senior Systems Specialist for Transportation, and Olivier Savoie, International Sales Manager for Transportation, have seen many changes in the industry over the years, but nothing quite as transformative as the past 12 months.
The technology solutions for the transportation industry are hyper-specialized. AV needs for public transit can differ from other markets. AtlasIED’s Chris Deatrick, Product Manager, and Justin Young, General Manager, lent their expertise in software engineering and industry focus to help unpack the needs, and provide solutions for various transportation sectors.
