Once again, it was innovation galore at Commend’s Intertraffic 2012 stand in Amsterdam: new, helpful components wherever one looked. The central hub of attention for the inquisitive and knowledgeable visitors to the Commend stand was the brand-new “Conductor” Control Desk. Apart from this, interest was focussed also on Commend product ‘world premieres’ such as the Mobile Intercom Client, the Software Intercom Server and the latest Intercom 2.0 feature: fully lip-synched Intercom audio/video rec

Our cTV team did a small summary of ​​our Commend appearance and was looking for news in the industry, especially among our business partners in the parking industry... Have a look!

Once again, Amsterdam this year will become the world centre for all things new in the world of traffic technology, when industry specialists and interested visitors will come together from all over the world to meet at Intertraffic 2012 in the Dutch capital. Following the principle of Intercom 2.0, the motto at the Commend stand will be “Simplicity in concert with power”. Interested visitors from the parking industry and urban mobility specialists can expect a veritable symphony of amazin

Success doesn’t just happen by itself. The key driver of success is knowledge, and this depends crucially on experience, whether as a passionate audio technician or a marketing and sales pro. But today more than ever, professional experience gathered abroad can give those who have it an extra edge. At the worldwide headquarters of Commend Commend in Salzburg the “International” part of the name is part of our business policy. Internships abroad for students and employees are therefore an importa

Commend’s launch of Intercom 2.0 in 2010 has changed the possibilities for modern-world Intercom systems forever. Building on the enthusiastic market response so far, the world’s top Intercom innovator now announces the next addition to its Intercom 2.0 range: the world’s first fully software-based Intercom Server, designed specifically to embrace the flexible, dynamic sphere of virtual IT environments. The Software Intercom Server (the name is not final) is intended as a flexible, total-cost re

As the Commend product family has grown quite a bit over this past year, the new catalogue edition also comes with a few extra pages added to its scope. New product family members include, for example, the AF Amplifier Series, the compact Intercom Server IS 300, the powerful IP Desktop Stations, as well as the SIP-Stations, Wireless Intercom over DECT, in addition to the explosion-proof stations of Series EX, and updated software from ComWIN to ComOPC. Now the new product year can begin! V

Where the wheels are turning round the clock to transform collected water power into gigawatts of electricity, perfect communication and security systems are just as important as turbines and penstocks. A good case in point is Albula-LandwasserKraftwerke AG. Set in the wonderfully picturesque landscape of the Swiss canton of Grisons, the power plant’s two sites together generate 5% of the entire canton’s annual electricity output. As part of a general renovation in 2010, the communication and

Automated welcome messages, time-controlled announcements or music feeds via Public Announcement systems: when it comes to routine Intercom tasks, the flexible, cost-efficient Pre-Recorded Audio capabilities of the Commend Intercom systems comes into its own. All this is made possible by on-board memory modules, which come as a pre-installed standard feature on all Commend subscriber cards and selected interface cards. It is these memory modules that can hold and provide the Intercom Server w

A cultural and touristic hub such as Glasgow – Scotland’s largest city with a population of more than 600,000 and 3 million visiting tourists every year – imposes extreme demands and very specific requirements where security and communication in its public areas are concerned. As a result, there is a wide range of areas and environments that are served by the help points and emergency call stations of the Commend solution that the Glasgow City Council selected to help them keep the city safe wit

The number of applications served by Commend Intercom 2.0 solutions is growing – and so are individual project requirements and installation conditions. Where Intercom terminals are needed, data cables, for example, are not always available or desired. This is where the new Commend Wireless Intercom solution opens up new possibilities. Enabling full wireless capabilities for all digital Commend call stations, it reduces the installation effort to simply attaching the terminals to where they ar

Not so long ago, public address systems for announcements and public audio feeds used to involve the use of large, bulky and energy hungry amplifiers pushing the signals through the cables to the loudspeakers with several hundred watts of power.These days are over. Technology has moved a huge step ahead, thanks to optimised signal technology and networking capabilities. Proof of this can be found in the new Commend Series AF amplifiers. As amplifiers with 20 or 50 Watt capacity they offer enough

With the new series of SIP-capable Intercom modules and call stations, Commend brings together the simplicity of SIP telephony and the flexible reliability of Intercom 2.0 solutions.

Clinics and hospitals are genuine communication super-hubs. A healthy flow of communication between the admission desk, operating theatres, patients’ rooms, and therapy and administration areas is as essential as a healthy blood circulation. For the Intercom solution that is required to handle it all, this poses a challenge of the highest order and requires reliable on-duty service around the clock.

Resistance to adverse conditions has been a key feature of Series WS terminals since their introduction last year. Dust, water, heat or cold are no match to their built-in sturdiness. But that is not all: as of now, the reinforced, vandal-proof terminals and Emergency Intercom stations of Series WS provide significantly higher impact resistance. Rated up to now as IK 07 (protection type as per EN 62262 standard), devices from these ranges that are delivered as from now will comply with even hi

A 1.2 mile (about 2 km) swim, followed by a 56 mile (90 km) bike ride and a 13.1 mile (21 km) half-marathon run: there are not many people who will finish a huge sporting challenge like this at incredible speed – and actually have fun doing it. Sales coordinator Michael Trachsel of Commend Switzerland is one of them. At this year’s IronMan 70.3 in June on Hawaii Michael finished a phantastic 22nd in his age category (30-35 years) among a total of 1800 athletes. Here is a quick-motion r

9 million vehicles a year use the more than 9,000 parking spaces in the 19 car parks of top provider Sintesi S.p.A. in the northern Italian Brescia region.

As a key technology in communication and security, Intercom 2.0 is also a key issue in the world of parking. This is also reflected in the wide range of solutions exhibited at the Parkopolis trade fair in Paris on June 15-16. Bi-directional video over Intercom, seamless integration of Intercom and graphic user interaction (ComWIN) and help points for people with special requirements – all this and much more will be on display at the stand of Commend France (Stand No. C 25) in Pavillion 4.1 of

Innovation that helps protect personal security is always appreciated. Proof of that came yesterday at the annual IP Security Forum in Milan, where the Commend Help Point was awarded second place of the secsolution award in the category of ‘Application Cases’. “The real winners are of course the people who benefit from Intercom 2.0 IP Security,” says Gianni Carrara from Commend Italy.
