C3 (Critical Communication Caribbean) tekent overeenkomst met Obersi Electronics Bonaire

Op 1 januari 2017 zal Obersi Electronics haar radio netwerk op Bonaire na 31 jaar trouwe dienst overdragen aan C3, dat voorheen bekend was als Zenitel Caribbean.

Sinds Alvin Obersi in 1986  een samenwerking met toenmalig Radio Holland begon, heeft Obersi Electronics haar klanten altijd vakkundig en met vol overgave bediend. Inmiddels is Obersi Electronics een instituut op Bonaire.

C3, onder leiding van een oude bekende op Bonaire, Bert Schreuders, zal dezelfde service blijven bieden vanuit het kantoor van Obersi Electronics aan de Kaya Grandi in Bonaire.

“We zijn erg blij dat we de samenwerking met Obersi Electronics kunnen voortzetten, en tegelijkertijd nu ons radionetwerk op 7 eilanden in eigen beheer hebben. Wij zullen als specialisten in ‘mission-critical’ communicatie de service aan de klanten op Bonaire verdiepen, terwijl Obersi Electronics zich zal toeleggen op haar andere producten en services”, aldus Bert Schreuders, Managing Director van C3, die daaraan toevoegt: “Sinds de overname van Zenitel Caribbean door het  Curacao Growth Fund in het begin van 2016, gaat het uitstekend met C3. We hebben net onze rebranding naar C3 achter de rug, zijn bezig met een volledige netwerk upgrade in de Caribbean, bouwen een nieuw hoofdkantoor in Emmastad, Curacao en doen investeringen zoals hier in Bonaire.”

C3 is de regionale leider in het aanbieden van mission-critical oplossingen en een geautoriseerd Motorola distributeur. Er werken 30 mensen vanuit kantoren in Curacao, Aruba, St Maarten, Bonaire en Colombia.

Vingtor-Stentofon

Vingtor-Stentofon Pulse is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based intercom system for up to 36 users in total. The intercom stations are tested according to EN60945 for marine usage.

The system technology includes a wide range of IP special purpose terminals including IP intercom, IP telephones, IP DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications), IP speakers and IP gateways. It is easy to install and requires no central exchange.

Reduce installation time and cost

Vingtor-Stentofon Pulse provides a smart and simple technology interface that reduces installation time and cost. To install Pulse, one station is selected as the primary station or system master. This master station provides SIP server functions to the other stations in the system and optionally any third party IP telephones and gateways. Depending on the number of stations in the system, basic installation can be completed in less than 60 minutes.

NEW!

Configure your Vingtor-Stentofon Pulse system directly via a Web Interface or use our new dedicated VS-IMT Tool to discover, update and configure stations in bulk.

No central server is required

After the management software is activated for the chosen master station, all that is required is configuration of directory numbers of the other stations. Since the system does not require a central server, connection of the IP stations to the network is all that is needed for system set-up.

IP based intercom system for up to 16 dedicated VS-Stations(Intercom, Dect, Telephone & IP speakers)
Connect up to 10 3rd Party SIP Devices (VoIP Telephone or a SIP Client on a smartphone)

NEW!

Add an additional 10 dedicated PC-Clients with VS-Client
* Support Power over Ethernet
* Supports external communication (GSM, Analog gateway)
* Supports interface to PA via TKIS-2 or TKIE-2
* Superb audio quality – high bandwidth codec, active noise cancellation, acoustic echo cancellation
* Remote control of external audible or visible signal devices

New!

Create a network of upto 50 Vingtor-Stentofon Pulse Systems

Upgrade to PULSE Enterprise and create one large network of Stand-Alone PULSE systems.
Use your resources more efficiently and manage all incoming and outgoing communication from one or several centralized locations.

New!

Use our SDK and scripting feature for advanced integration
Our SDK allows you to include PULSE as a part of your total software package. Use the SDK to create your own custom made software clients and manage the system from your own software. You can apply for access to SDK on this page (requires an account on zenitel.com).

Use scripting to have our stations send custom scripts over IP to dedicated terminals for automated tasks. (For example; have our stations send an “open door” command to an access control terminal).
