IED releases revolutionary announcement control system

Globalcom works by moving processing and intelligence to the edge of the network, yet maintains overall system control and management at the core. Its distribution system is designed to simplify installation and reduce costs by integrating with industry-standard structured cabling and network infrastructures. The network-centric aspect of Globalcom eliminates the need for large ‘head-end’ equipment room installations. 

The manufacturer is keen to draw attention to Globalcom’s ‘core’ application, which is its 1000vACS virtual announcement control system software. The network-centric architecture provides announcement management of IED network appliances and comprehensive audio and visual messaging services. The 1000vACS allows it to be used in systems requiring only a few zones, but can also be used for diverse systems requiring thousands of zones and control points. This application operates on Microsoft Windows servers or dedicated 1100/1200 series hardware platforms from IED.

The Globalcom system can manage up to 250 control stations and a total of 65,536 zone outputs per VLAN. Live, delayed, pre-recorded, dynamic assembled, and text-to-speech announcements can be delivered in multiple languages, while multiple actions can be triggered by a single event. 

There are over 65,000 message priority levels, and a single LAN or VLAN network can support up to 180 simultaneous announcements. Other features include incident-specific audio and visual message generation, flexible emergency announcements, continuous system supervision, and full ADA compliancy with visual paging.

Globalcom is fully backward compatible to seamlessly integrate with existing IED ACS installations.
