Access control system was installed at school in Gothenburg, with internal telephony as a bonus!
A spoken access control system was a requirement of the Nya Landamäreskolan in Gothenburg.
Nokas Teknik, a total supplier of security solutions, was commissioned to deliver a security solution to the school. They chose the Zenitel system from COBS, which also can be used for daily internal communication between the the school’s different areas.
Instant and clear public announcement to the everyone or selected part of the school
To create a safe environment for pupils, staff and even visitors, a public announcement system has been installed that reaches all areas. The system provides intercom and an integrated access control system that can manage the door access of all external doors. Externally, the school has opted for horn speakers with high volume pressure to reach out and be clearly heard around the entire school grounds. They also have integrated surveillance cameras to further enhance security.
The system is not only a help in emergency situations, but can also be used for daily internal telephony or loud information announcements that can be directed to different parts of the school.
Director Susanne Arnudd is delighted with the new system.
“It feels both simple and above all safe! The fact that we can also use this for fast, smooth communication between classrooms and to the principal’s office is a real bonus.”
For communication in critical situations
The COBS smart security system for safe schools from Zenitel is specially adapted for critical communication and is customised according to needs and wishes. It should feel safe to be at school!
COBS therefore encourages more schools to review their preparedness and develop a well-thought-out plan for how alarms and communication should work. Perhaps you need to secure a local communication system for crisis communication that is independent of the Internet and public phone lines.
telephone lines.
Acting quickly in an emergency, and trusting that the right information reaches everyone in the school, creates security, and in extreme cases can be life-changing.
