Vokkero® guarantees reliable communications in the nuclear industry

Vokkero guarantees reliable communications

2011-05-24

IN THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY

In nuclear generation environments that are either sensitive in nature or involve contaminated zones, it is essential that teams working on site can enjoy totally reliable communication systems. Misunderstandings or misheard messages caused by poor transmission can lose critically valuable time and be extremely dangerous to all personnel involved.

Because of these constraints, teams working at nuclear sites need to be able to count on their equipment for 100% reliability at all times. This is why a large number of companies specialising in maintenance at nuclear generation sites trust in the Vokkero® wireless communications system for use in their periodic maintenance operations (changing fuel cells, cleaning, decontamination, etc.) or in dismantling operations, since it provides a guarantee of perfect communications even over large distances.

This system is likewise favoured for being able to offer hands-free operations. This makes it perfectly suited for use in conjunction with the helmets, protective suits and respiratory equipment that are compulsory in such high-risk areas.

Its patented noise filter eliminates all parasitic noises (ventilation motors, operating machinery, etc.), making it possible to maintain clear communications even in very noisy environments.

Speaking, Listening, Understanding, Securing, Vokkero® is THE wireless communications system dedicated for professionals working in difficult environments.

Strengthened by its success and experience in the French mainland, and now aiming to better manage its expanding market share, the ADEUNIS RF company, designer of the Vokkero® wireless communications system, is looking for distributing partners throughout wider Europe.
You are a specialist in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of equipment dedicated to professionals working in high risk industries, and perhaps even specifically in nuclear power generation. If you would like to offer a new range of innovative, high-technology products that have been specifically developed for personnel operating in sensitive environments, please contact us at: b.million@adeunis-rf.com or +33 476 920 162.

Vokkero® “Evolution 3”, an even more sophisticated wireless communication solution with new functionalities.

Vokkero "Evolution 3",

2011-05-17

an even more sophisticated wireless communication solution with new functionalities.

On the strength of its experience and ever attentive to its customers’ needs, ADEUNIS RF is launching version 3 of its Vokkero® wireless communication system.
Vokkero® is an all-in-one hands-free communication system that allows mobile teams to generate a total, private communication network within a radius of 800m.

In addition to its basic functions, Vokkero® “Evolution 3” is now equipped with the following options:
• Channel selection-tuning: 6 available channels to allow users to change frequency in the event of transmission difficulties caused by other devices using the same frequency.
• Division of networks into sub-groups: this function is used to determine which “group or team” the Vokkero terminal belongs to (with the possibility of allocating terminals to up to 7 different groups). Each group has its own listening and speaking authorizations within the network.
An extra functionality is also available via this menu, which allows contact with a particular terminal without being heard by other users, irrespective of which group they are in.
• Sidetone adjustment: this mode is used to adjust the level of radio sidetone (i.e. listening to your own voice) in your micro-headset or micro-earpiece speaker.
• “Fast channel” function: activated where there are several Vokkero systems on the same site, but operating on different channels. This function offers a supervisor the option of navigating from one system to the other without the established communication being heard by the members of the other groups.
• “Push-to-talk” function: this function offers the option of using a dedicated button to cut the microphones of some or all of the people on the network. Very useful if, for example, you want to talk to someone who is not part of the network.

Initially developed for the top team sport referees, Vokkero® is designed to adapt to a wide range of situations that may be encountered in environments such as building, industry, maritime activities, sport, security, catering and events management.

The use of VOK-SAFE by specialists within the French Technical and Scientific Police (PTS)

The use of VOK-SAFE

2011-04-21

by specialists within the French Technical and Scientific Police (PTS)

Developed for security industry professionals, VOK-SAFE is THE solution that meets the needs and constraints of the PTS as well as those of the CMIC (a mobile chemical intervention unit) and the DSC (the emergency services department).

The VOK-SAFE system ensures fast, clear and continuous communications. Its hands-free design and dedicated accessories are especially suitable for use while wearing breathing masks and protective overalls, both essential items in high risk areas.
Arson, technological accidents or risks of attack (industrial, nuclear, radiological, biological or chemical) are just some of the assignments faced by agents of CONSTOX (the department responsible for reporting on toxic environments) who have to carry out searches for evidence in hostile and contaminated environments.

In environments such as these, the dependability and quality of communications between those involved is vital.
The PTS have been using VOK-SAFE for nearly a year, confirmation of its effectiveness as a communications system for use in a hostile environment.

Implementation of the VOK-ENG system, Optimization of communication at COLAS SUISSE

VOK-ENG: Optimization of communication at COLAS SUISSE

2011-03-14

TRENCHLESS EXCAVATION WORK
Maintenance of electrical networks or underground pipe systems, replacement or repair of existing underground infrastructures… most construction work in urban environments have some degree of risk of injury.

Today, companies such as Colas Switzerland specialize in trenchless excavation which enables work to be carried out without having to open up the street. However, some constraints exist which are inherent to the profession that can represent a real risk for people working on site.

For teams working on drilling or blasting, high noise levels can make communication diffi cult. The problem becomes greater when visibility is limited. It is essential that the operators be able to coordinate their positions so that complete accuracy is maintained.

The Colas Suisse teams selected the VOK-ENG communication system from VOKKERO™ to overcome all these issues.

ADVANTAGES OF THE VOK-ENG SYSTEM
- A full-duplex (audio conference) communication solution, set up in a few seconds and requiring no prior installation or base station.
- Totally hands-free, which allows equipment to be operated and work to be completed without the distractions typically associated with the other communication systems.
- Extremely clear communication thanks to the Vokkero noise fi lter, ensuring maximum sound quality, even in a noisy environment.
- Reduction of risks, optimization of communication, enhanced effi ciency.
