OVER 90 MODERN ELECTRONIC SIRENS STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC ALARM SYSTEM IN PODLASKIE VOIVODESHIP.
Podlaskie Voivodeship is a transit and border region with a high need for reliable public warning system alerting about various threats, including those related to the transport of hazardous substances.
The investment covered facilities in the whole voivodeship and at 4 border crossing checkpoints with Belarus.
After signing an agreement with the Podlaskie Voivodeship Office the project started at the end of 2020 and was completed with a signed acceptance protocol on 31 January 2022.
Digitex, as a market leader in public warning systems, manufactured and implemented loud warning sirens, mobile control panels and a specialized software for management. The installation of the equipment was carried out by our local trusted partner – PROFKOM company.
The contract included delivery, installation and commissioning of:
- 93 modern 1200 Watt DSE series digital alarm sirens,
- dedicated management software for remote control over new siren system in each control room,
- mobile alarm panels for the Head of the National Civil Defence and the Voivodship Crisis Management Centre in Białystok,
- remote control panel at the County Office in Łomża.
The installed DSE-1200S digital alarm sirens are equipped with PC-550 control modules, Kenwood digital radios and microphones for live voice announcements.
Mobile alarm panels consist of a portable computer, which allows activation of the alarm system in whole Voivodship via a dedicated Internet connection. These panels are used for emergency management of siren system from any location in the voivodeship.
In addition, as part of the project, existing management software was updated and configured to the newest digitexWAVE version. This was followed by testing of all equipment and training of system users.
Podlaskie is currently one of the first regions where the early warning system has covered the entire voivodship area.
In total, there are now almost 200 modern warning sirens in operation in this region.
