The new Swissphone mission critical s.QUAD Series pagers, the analog s.QUAD Voice and the s.QUAD X35 digital pager, feature a compact, lightweight design (half the size of conventional pagers), 20-50 percent better coverage, smartphone compatibility, enhanced message reception, alerts at a decibel equivalent of a jackhammer, waterproof design and extended battery life. The new pager series will be introduced at the FDIC show in Indianapolis, April 23, in booth 3008.
At 3.2” X 2.5” X .85” and less than 4 oz., the s.QUAD is easy to wear, with a sleek European design, and built to demanding standards to meet the demands of fire service use; environmentally sealed to meet IP67 standards for dust intrusion and water immersion (up to 3 feet of submersion for 30 minutes) and durability tested to the EN 600682-32 standard of a 6.5 foot drop on all sides to a concrete surface. The 95 dB(A) at 1 foot loud speaker capability is equivalent to a construction jackhammer; assuring alerts are heard above fireground noise. A standard AA battery yields 2,500 hours of use, while an unrivaled sensitivity of 1.6-2.4 microvolts per meter assures that messages are received.
Bluetooth technology makes it possible to connect the s.QUAD with a compatible smartphone and other Swissphone s.ONE software solutions. Alert messages are sent to the pager via paging and cellular systems, a hybrid solution that assures faster and more secure alerts, even if the public network fails or is overloaded during emergencies.
Command personnel can use the s.ONE software solution for streamlined alerting, displaying the availability of emergency services, team or group capabilities on a smartphone or other screen, allowing for rapid assessment and re-alerting if necessary.
Other features include a high resolution 200+ character display, high number of alert addresses/cap codes, selection and switching profiles, multi-color alert LED and five-stage display of signal strength (RSSI).
