Birdy 3G two-way POCSAG/Cellular pager

Click2Contact

The Birdy 3G incorporates a POCSAG paging receiver with a 3G module, giving the user the ability to receive critical messages from the robust paging network as well as over 3G cellular networks. The 3G module also enables a response channel so the Birdy 3G can send an automatic acknowledgement when a message is received and a confirmation of response by the user advising if they are available to take part in a mission-critical incident.

Birdy 3G is also able to receive messages sent over a cellular network either in M2M mode or via SMS.

The Birdy 3G is designed to be used in tough conditions with an IP54 water resistance and dust rating. The rugged case also protects the device from unavoidable bumps during field operations.

The design also includes a GPS module so that response times and distances can be calculated to an event or meeting point. Geofencing can also be utilised to target the closest available responders. The Birdy 3G offers the possibility to send an SOS call by pressing the button or using the 3-axis accelerometer for man-down and dead-man applications.

The Birdy 3G also includes a module enabling workforce management from the device so volunteer responders can easily change their status of availability depending on their circumstances.

TPL Systems provides the ability to integrate the Birdy 3G into third-party CAD/ dispatch systems via the TPL Birdy Server for connection between the cellular network and the internet and passes XML files to the user’s software.
