FREQUENTIS to deliver equipment for health control rooms in Denmark to integrate with SINE
Thanks to its various TETRA features, SINE enhances the speed and coordination of dispatching processes between the four regions.
Four health control rooms in the Zealand, South Denmark, North Denmark and Central Denmark regions are set to benefit from a new voice and data communication solution delivered by Frequentis. State of the art technology will allow the control rooms to cooperate when dispatching emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, mobile intensive care units and doctors’ vehicles. The system also supports numerous additional functions, such as coordinating input from other health specialists (like nurses) when ambulances are dispatched to people in need. The new solution will mean more efficient operation of emergency medical services, with vehicles and personnel reaching incidents even faster.
The Frequentis solution represents a significant technological upgrade for the four regions’ health control rooms (emergency medical coordination). More importantly, the new technology means closer cooperation between health professionals and other employees at the centres, in turn making emergency operations easier, more effective and more efficient.
The contract also requires that the regions start to use the solution by October 2012, while final implementation is expected in February 2013.
Following the award of the contract, preparations are already underway to ensure integration with current communication systems. For example, the new solution must connect to all existing 112 emergency centres. The Frequentis voice and data communication system must also fully integrate the functionality of the Danish TETRA network (SINE). Thanks to its various TETRA features, SINE enhances the speed and coordination of dispatching processes between the four regions.
The Capital region (Copenhagen) has already invested in similar equipment and is therefore outside this purchase agreement. However, as a part of the agreement, integration of the Capital region's health control room would be possible and easy to implement. This would also guarantee that all Denmark’s regions can cooperate in the most effective way - saving resources and saving lives through more efficient emergency medical service communications.
