Initial Situation
The historical Papieri site in Cham is gradually being transformed into a modern residential and commercial district. There was no continuous radio coverage for the fire department in the underground areas, staircases, and new buildings. Since the site is being developed in several phases, the radio solution needed to evolve alongside the construction progress—without disrupting the operation of already occupied building sections.
Client Requirements
- Continuous fire department radio coverage in basements, staircases, and new buildings
- Growing, adaptive solution throughout all construction phases
- Close coordination with the general contractor, Cham fire department, and client
- Implementation without operational interruption in already occupied areas
- Regular maintenance and adjustments during the ongoing site development
Solution by Motcom
Motcom realized an adaptive fire department radio solution that evolves in parallel with construction progress. Through a central head station and a gradually expanded distribution network, the BOS signal is routed to all objects. Fire department operation panels enable the emergency services to control the system directly on-site. Implementation occurs in close coordination with the general contractor, the Cham fire department, and the client—without any operational interruptions.
- Analysis and Measurement
- Phased current measurement and radio coverage check per construction section
- Planning and Engineering
