Bosch Security Introduces PRAESENSA software release V1.30

The free software update enables integration of the PRA-APAS with the recently introduced PRA-SCS Small system controller. Due to improved cyber security we recommend that PRA-APAS devices are updated to the latest V1.30 version, even if the PRAESENSA system uses the PRA-SCL Large system controller.

PRAESENSA Advanced public address server (APAS)
The PRA-APAS is an industrial PC with pre installed software, acting as a server for PRAESENSA. It provides advanced business related public address functions without compromises and does therefore not support emergency functionalities.

The PRA-APAS supports connections to two separate local area networks, the PRAESENSA secure network and the public network with access to the Internet, with a firewall in between. On the public network it connects to the Internet and to one or more licensed operator devices, such as a wireless tablet or a regular PC. On the secure PRAESENSA network it interfaces with the system controller for control and transfer of multiple simultaneous audio channels.

The operator devices use their own web browser to control background music, streaming from PRA-APAS’ own internal memory or from external music portals and Internet radio stations. It offers announcement creation and control facilities to the operator, including message scheduling, live call recording with pre monitoring and playback, and even multi lingual text to speech calls, using on line conversion services.

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. Users can download the new release for free, and Bosch will continue to provide regular updates, upgrades, and new product introductions throughout the system's lifetime to keep it 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.
