Useful in hazardous situations when someone e.g has been attacked or to be able to talk to the injured person wothout the person in need needs to call or push any buttons for help. The response team can listen in to what is happening with their work mate and coordinate with each other how to act using the PTT function Benefits for hospitals Management – Helps security department to adapt to situations.

• #6: Presentation Name Month Year Ekahau functionality requires a licnese.
• #7: Presentation Name Month Year This solution involves the Ekahau Position Engine (EPE) that uses the WLAN network topology to calculate the location of mobile devices. It is the internal algorithms of the Location Engine that calculate the location, and uses RSSI measurements to triangulate or fingerprint mobile devices (Ascom i62) within the WLAN environment. An EkKahau license is needed in the i62 for this functionality. The Ekahau components are not supplied by Ascom HQ. Local co-operation with Ekahau sales or distributors should be the primary choice. To provide mobile users with location information of the alarming device the modules XGate and an IMS are required. XGate performs the communication with Ekahau Position Engine. AMS/AMC can be used for presentation and escalations if needed.
• #8: Describe the scenario: Life and Death ” A car accident is coming in; four casualties arriving in five minutes”. The trauma team needs to be assembled – fast. It is a situation when communication is a matter of life and death and every second counts.   In contact with your team – instantly This case needs top priority, and after alerting the trauma team, the trauma coordinator presses the push-to-talk (PTT) button on the Ascom i62. With a single press of a button, the PTT overrides calls for all members in the trauma team. The orthopaedic surgeon is busy on the phone and her call is immediately interrupted by the PTT.   Presentation Name Month Year
