Operators can personalise the screen layout and configure the touch buttons to suit their individual job requirements. TICC is password protected to avoid unauthorised use. Managers are able to assign different user rights to each operator.

TICC s portability ensures business continuity, even in the event of control room evacuation. Integrated Premises Management TICC turns your control room operators into multi-taskers. A single, user-friendly touch screen provides instant connection to all on-site radio users. Routine premises protection tasks, such CCTV monitoring, fire alarm testing and equipment breakdown alerts, can interconnect to TICC and be monitored from the console, which makes less work for staff and speeds up response times. Access control can be managed from your TICC console via radio-controlled signalling initiated from the touch screen. Bespoke interfacing to many of your existing user applications is also possible. Usage Analysis For Management Reports TICC s voice recording module records all conversations, monitors traffic levels and stores the data on the operational PC. As well as giving you a real-time view of your operations, TICC provides an accurate log of all previous activities. TICC transforms your control console into a business management tool that helps improve resource planning. Enhanced User Safety Using TICC with your Trunked Motorola two-way radio system eliminates the need to purchase specialist solutions to ensure the safety of your workforce. Motorola s built-in range of enhanced worker safety features, including Emergency Button, Man Down and Lone Worker, are all enhanced by TICC. TICC checks all users proactively and raises the alarm to colleagues and the control room if there is no response from the radio within a pre-set time frame. A Proven Solution TICC was developed by wireless communications specialist and managed system provider Servicom Ltd, and has been available in the UK since 2003. The solution is already in use at some of the country s largest shopping malls and major distribution warehouses. Leading UK airports, universities, manufacturing plants and municipal authorities have expressed considerable interest in using it to streamline premises management and access control.

Customer Help Points Any persons in coverage area of radio system can summon assistance from a radio-operated touch point. TICC enables them to speak directly to the control room operative who can liaise directly with them and use CCTV if necessary to ensure their safety. Future Proofed With User-Driven Enhancements TICC is continually being updated in line with customer requirements to ensure it provides the most feature-rich communication and control solution available today. Updates, enhancements and application additions are provided under terms of the licence for a nominal amount. Customers are encouraged to advise Servicom of additional functionality they require so that it can be incorporated in future updates. User Safety TICC integrates seamlessly with the Emergency Button, Lone Worker and Man Down features in Motorola Professional Series radios. When a safety feature is activated, an audible alarm sounds on the console, together with the user s name or radio call sign. Future safety enhancements to TICC include pinpointing the location of the user raising the alarm. Control room operatives will then be able to advise all other users on the system immediately of their colleague s whereabouts and summon help promptly. Interfaces To Building Maintenance Solution TICC can be interfaced with your building maintenance solution (BMS) and managed from the control room. The local PC that manages your BMS can be networked with the PC operating TICC, which ensures that alerts are flagged up automatically to control room operatives and nearby radio users. Fault alarms from failed equipment may be interfaced into TICC, enabling staff to be despatched more effectively. Automated Access Control TICC allows you to grant access to delivery vehicles directly from the control room by installing two way radio operated touch points at barrier-controlled entrances. Drivers push a button to announce their arrival to the controller who checks their identity using CCTV. The operator grants access by touching a console button which raises the barrier and lowers it after the vehicle has passed. TICC can pass alarms to CCTV equipment to instruct cameras to PTZ (pan tilt zoom) to pre-programmed positions.
