Evolutions in Safety

The VCS 3020X is a combined voice and data switch. It provides integrated voice communications for radio, telephone and intercom in one unique system with unlimited conferencing capabilities.
The VCS 3020X provides operator access to all communication channels, regardless of the system load at any time.

Frequentis continues its evolutionary approach with the migration to IP-environments and IPbased voice switching. This migration culminated the design of an integrated IP-gateway using an IP-infrastructure to connect to radios as well as to IP-sip telephones. Now, the next generation of operator positions is prepared for IP-connectivity.

Decentralised switching
The main part of the VCS 3020X application software runs fully distributed in the peripheral devices. The critical switching and routing core software is kept simple. The fully decentralised call control leads to the unrivalled resilience of the system against software failures. Audio is switched with Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Data is routed within the core system via dedicated IP-based data links.

The fibre optic system backbone
To realise even biggest systems, 8000 time slots are available due to the interconnection of multiple VCS 3020X system nodes. Up to eight duplicated switching nodes allow splitting of the system and are interconnected via a duplicated optical fibre backbone, carrying both voice and data.

Duplication - No single point of failure
The extensive duplication of critical system components, such as the parallel operating core system, limits the fault range to one communication channel. Peripheral hardware like operator positions and interfaces are connected to both duplicated nodes A and B.

VCS Resource & Traffic Optimizer
The Frequentis VCS Resource & Traffic Optimizer is evaluation software that combines various pieces of data stored within the VCS, and presents the resultant information as easy-to-read reports. By supporting precise analyses of how resources are currently being used, these reports allow you to fully exploit any existing potential for optimization.
