Live Announcements from microphone stations are routed directly to the zone output power amplifier mainframes over the network. The audio is in real time with no discernible latency.

Delayed Announcements from microphone stations are recorded to memory instead of playing through the system live. As soon as the microphone switch is released, the message will play back to the programmed zones as soon as they are available.

Recorded An extensive library of pre-recorded multi-lingual messages is available and stored on the internal drive as message take files. A message can be a single message take or multiple message takes chained together.

These messages are triggered to automatically play on a set schedule or play as the result of an action at a microphone station or an input from an external system.

Dynamic Assembled In addition to manually programming recorded messages, the system has the ability to dynamically change messages based on user input from a microphone station, console application, or external data source.

Text-to-Speech The Text-to-Speech (TTS) option adds an engine capable of creating life-like speech renderings of messages based on text that was typed into the system or supplied by an external data interface. This allows virtually unlimited message possibilities and the creation of completely new message on the fly.

Features Message Types

GLOBALCOM utilizes standard network infrastructure for all audio and control transmissions. Audio is passed between devices on a local area network (LAN) utilizing Layer 2 CobraNet. GLOBALCOM contains the enhanced capability of transmitting and receiving audio for non-adjacent zones between LANs or VLANs by transmitting full bandwidth audio in real time utilizing routable Layer 3 protocols. This enables a complete system to be created on a Wide Area Network (WAN) that spans much larger geographic locations. GLOBALCOM offers a significant improvement in both audio quality and overall system performance over traditional VoIP systems.

Layer 3 routable full bandwidth audio over a WAN in real time

GLOBALCOM components are compatible with the IED Titan series networked audio distribution and control products as well as the 524 and 528 series of digital paging stations.

At the heart of GLOBALCOM is a set of core building block components used to construct a system of the appropriate size and functionality needed for the application. Systems can range from small to very large. A small and simple system may consist of a single announcement controller with integrated messaging and a small number of input and output devices. Larger systems are built using multiple announcement controllers linked together to function as a single system with thousands of outputs.

GLOBALCOM is network-centric to maximize the power of the network, minimize equipment requirements, and distribute processing to the network edge.

To ensure system availability, a powerful supervision system is continuously testing the entire system from paging station to loudspeakers. Any abnormalities are logged into the fault reporting system for appropriate action. While basic supervision is sufficient for a simple system, more complex mission-critical systems require a higher degree of reliability. GLOBALCOM and Titan series hardware provide multiple levels of redundancy to allow uninterrupted system operation.

RAID Servers In systems that utilize the 1000vACS virtual controller in a server environment, redundant RAID server configurations can be implemented. RAID 1 configurations will ensure that all data on the internal storage drive is mirrored, thus allowing the system to continue operating if a drive fails. A RAID 5 configuration adds additional drive redundancy along with a backup power supply. For ultimate server redundancy, third party applications can be used that operate a complete backup server computer.

Virtualization Modern IT environments often utilize server virtualization in order to make the best use of today’s high-end server hardware and consolidated data centers. The 1000vACS also runs on a virtual server that is readily restored in the IT environment.

Lifeline ACS For the most mission-critical systems, redundant announcement controllers operate as backups to any announcement controller in the system using the Lifeline ACS option.

Backup Amplifier Switching Amplifier cards are continuously monitored for proper operation. In the event of a failure, a backup amplifier can automatically switch and assume the load of the loudspeaker line. This ensures that all loudspeaker lines will be fully functional.

Fault Logging and Notifications The IED Fault Logger application is bundled with the Enterprise software suite to provide a centralized database to record any faults that may be detected by the supervision system. The application can be configured to automatically notify maintenance personnel when critical system faults are detected.
