BOSCH SECURITY HAS RELEASED PRAESENSA 1.70 SOFTWARE

Bosch is pleased to announce a new software release for PRAESENSA, the IP-based public address and voice alarm system that provides high-quality audio for music or messaging. The latest software update 1.70 for PRAESENSA provides a SIP interface for VoIP telephony paging and a call station lock function for improved safety. The new release will be free of charge to download and it comes along with a system firmware update to version 1.70.

Highest flexibility and scalability
An IP-based system can immediately accommodate changes to building use. When you add or define new areas for use, the system updates the changes effortlessly. All devices across the system are IP-connected, facilitating both centralized and decentralized set-up, as well as easy interconnectivity with other systems. Devices in an IP-based system can be managed via OMNEO media networking technology, enabling better audio quality and greater scalability than any other Public Address and Voice Alarm System. The possibilities are virtually unlimited.

Extremely cost-efficient
Depending on the local standard, an IP-based system can often use existing IP-building infrastructure with standard cabling and network switches. This can generate considerable cost savings for system integrators, installers and building owners. Further cost-efficiency is gained through remote diagnosis and maintenance of the system via internet, reducing or eliminating the need for site visits.

Highest reliability
IP-based technology ensures reliability from the moment of installation, with redundancy incorporated throughout the whole system. This includes all devices and network connections, critical signal paths and functions, which can all be constantly supervised.

The system supports smart integration of functions and backup facilities, with encryption and authentication offering complete protection against eavesdropping and hacking.

Increased ease-of-use
IP-based systems allow for user interfaces that are incredibly easy to use, intuitive and accessible. Basic operations such as making announcements, scheduling events or effectuating evacuation protocols can be easily performed by authorized staff, with no need for extensive training.

System control is software-based, allowing simple updates to meet future requirements, while maintaining the highest levels of protection and system security.

The same smart and simple-to-use interface can be operated on a PC, tablet or smart phone. This brings great freedom, allowing you to supervise your public address system from your own trusted devices from a remote location, for both control and music streaming services.




Future-proof
The key hardware devices in an IP-based PRAESENSA system are controlled by custom software solutions, resulting in a system that is feature-rich and future-ready, with the potential for further capabilities to be added over time. IP-based systems can handle late-stage adjustments with ease, making them ideal for systems integrators and installers dealing with last-minute changes.

IP network setup is straightforward, as all system components are supplied with preconfigured and integrated Ethernet switches.

With PRAESENSA, the standard in IP-based Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) systems, we provide a PAVA solution offering unmatched quality, longevity, security, and reliability. Regular updates, upgrades and new product introductions can be expected throughout its lifetime to keep the system up-to-date, future proof and state-of-the art. PRAESENSA is released in several phases to address the needs of various verticals and country requirements. Consult with your local Bosch representative for more information.
