Some Successful Solutions
With our focus on the practical, these are examples of solutions that 'work'
IP Receivers
St Johns Ambulance NZ
Goal:
Improve St John's ability to maintain consistently reliable nation-wide communication links for their emergency paging/ messaging network.
Solution:
HCOM designed and manufactured a portable message receiver that could be taken to a coverage area to “catch” all of St John’s local message traffic, passing the results back to an online software solution for monitoring. The software has a search facility to look at particular messages on specific days, groups of messages, or specific contacts, etc. This system provides a traceability solution from the source of the message to the end user. The design was for an end to end solution; a portable receiver ready to deploy, through to the remote software monitoring. We supplied St Johns several complete units for field use around New Zealand.
Wireless Alarm Monitoring
CommSystems Ltd
(based in LAOS)
Goal:
Miner’s accommodations, in a Laos gold mine, required notification of smoke alarm activations to be able to be received across the whole mine site. This required a non-standard solution due to the remote nature of the site and it’s expanse, and a wireless design for ease of installation into pre-existing buildings.
Solution:
HCOM designed wireless hardware to connect through an access point and onto a third party API (Application Programming Interface). The API distributes the smoke alarm status to specific email addresses, mobile phones, and a monitored software solution. This project involved a reasonably large- scale production, with hardware for around 80 accommodation units.
