Airbus dispatch equipment provided for Bonn

Bonn will receive 16 bus and tram radio dispatcher systems from Airbus Defence and Space under a new contract in Germany.

The RCS 9500 radio console subsystem permits simple and reliable mobile communication via the company’s TETRA PMR (professional mobile radio) network. This means that the dispatchers in the central control room of the Stadtwerke are able to coordinate bus and tram drivers.

“The Stadtwerke have opted for the model RCS 9500 built by Airbus Defence and Space because this system can be freely configured and is compatible with the company’s own hardware,” said Andreas Giersberg, system administrator and in charge of the TETRA radio system at Stadtwerke Bonn.

The integrated radio console subsystem is a fully IP-based solution for control centres. It allows the migration of digital voice and data services to mission-critical PMR networks. The network-based client-server architecture offers role and profile management and is suitable for small companies or for several hundred workplaces. Users can use the RCS 9500 terminals individually as networked individual workstations or as complex control room solutions.

The RCS 9500 runs on conventional PC and server hardware and provides the required information via its intuitive user interface. The workstation in the control centres can be flexibly configured and thus quickly adapted to new situations without the need for programming or other support.
