 PPS
Claims The Answer To Emergency Services Communications
Problem
One of the weakest spots in the armoury of emergency
services everywhere to date has been the absence of
inter-personnel communications systems that can deliver
the quality required in all of the environments that can
be encountered and that can also surmount the many
problems created by the user wearing PPE like face masks
and suits.
Now
Professional Protection Systems, who claim to preside
over the largest range of emergency services equipment
to be found anywhere in the world, believe that they
have cracked this communications problem in the form of
the Canadian Con-Space system.
The
particular Con-Space unit that PPS recommend is the
SR65i radio accessory, which makes the use of handheld
radios easy in even the most extreme conditions,
including explosive environments. The unit also moves
with ease between high and low noise areas.
Another
plus for users of the SR65i is that it can be used with
any make or model of facemask, respirator or breathing
apparatus.
Two key
features of the unit are a unique throat mike and a 360
degree rotational belt clip. The throat mike is so
sensitive that it allows users to talk normally or
whisper and still be heard whatever the noise levels in
a particular environment, whilst the rotational belt
clip allows the SR 65i’s large, and therefore easy to
locate PPT button, to be placed for easy access,
eliminating the need to hold the radio.
 Water
proof and dust proof the SR65i will, PPS claim,
outperform all the others even in the most adverse
weather conditions and most difficult of environments.
To use in
conjunction with the throat mike Con –Space have
developed a unit simply designated Voice Amplifier, a
piece of kit that can be worn comfortably and allows for
clear communication between people wearing face masks or
protective suits or both.
Yet a
further development is Talk Box a portable intercom
system designed to provide untethered two-way voice
communication between casualty and rescuer or
medical attendant. The design allows for both parties
to communicate from 30ft or more but whilst the
rescuer’s unit does not have to remain open it’s
designed to monitor the casualty continuously. The
latter’s unit features an alarm that can be easily
activated if voice contact cannot be made with the
rescuer.
Besides
emergency services PPS say these units are ideal for use
in the construction industry (crane operation for
instance), airports, the police service and
manufacturing, maintenance and mining industries to name
a few.
