Mission-Critical Systems

Nowadays we are facing a fast growth in telecommunication technology. Every day the data transmission speeds are getting faster. The robust traditional telephony powered by Central Office battery is being replaced with IP telephony which is powered by consumer‘s mains. The robust long-lasting protocols based on loop voltages and currents are being replaced by every-day changing TCP-IP protocols that are exposed to software bugs and hackers. With development of GSM, Wifiand other wireless networks, the mobility is also increasing. But so is vulnerability!

Never in the history were the communications so fragile. In case of disaster circumstances all the electricity may be down and (consequently) also telecommunications, including dedicated public safety networks (TETRA or LTE based). One might have some radio P2P connection but it would be very difficult to build a network. A voice network that could quickly and reliably connect the spots, which should be handling the disaster crisis: Disaster task forces, Civil protection headquarters, Red Cross units, Hospitals, Logistics centers, Fire Brigades, Weather stations, etc.

APM-40 system is fast and reliable solution to establish comprehensive telephone network in disastrous situation. All one needs is a pair of copper/steel wire and several APM-40 telephone terminals.
