At many major hotels and convention centers today, high tech intercoms and communication systems are being installed in order to provide better communication options for employees and also during events.
Due to increased security requirements, many major hotels are now using internal intercoms and communication systems so internal security staff will always be in constant communication with each other. This includes being able to communicate about potential hotel threats and also being able to communicate with other agents that back up security may be needed.
Because so many of these hotels are over twenty thousand feet in size, without these types of internal communication measures, it would be pretty hard for hotel security staff to effectively communicate. In order to reduce the chance of a communication system shutting down due to wiring problems, most intercom systems installed at many hotels today are wireless. These wireless systems have really helped to reduce wiring costs, and also the number of communication blackouts. In addition, many hotels have also switched over to wireless intercom systems, because it helps them to easier communicate with their customers.
In addition to the hotel industry, there are also a lot of major convention centers that are also installing wireless intercom systems as well. Just like many hotels today, many convention centers have also switched over to intercom systems due to the need for increased security measures. Depending upon the size of the convention center, there may be up to twenty five internal intercom systems installed.
From a safety perspective, these new intercom systems have made it much easier to communicate with convention attendees, in case there is a fire or other potential threat. For example, when there is a convention going on that has attracted over five thousand people, it takes a very strong and reliable intercom system to communicate with guests. In the case of a potential threat, the warning message to event attendees needs to be communicated loudly, quickly and efficiently. In addition to internal intercom systems, many convention centers today are also installing intercom gate systems and call boxes at their front doors. These devices have been very useful for front door security agents, who sometimes have to communicate quickly with security teams inside. In addition, many of these outdoor intercom systems are also designed to be heard in parking decks and outside parking lots.
Along with convention centers and hotels, other businesses that use wireless intercom systems frequently include major airports, hospitals, and petroleum chemical plants.
