Upgraded fire control centre launched at Gold Coast Airport

Gold Coast Airport in Queensland, is the first of 20 Australian airports to receive C4i's new SwitchplusIP technology for integrated communications, alarm monitoring and incident management.
General Manager ARFF Andrew Rushbrook said the fire control project involved the replacement of existing systems with a standardised modern digital system.
"It incorporates the very latest technology integrated communications and incident management resources to give Airservices fire fighters the best tools to manage any incident," Mr Rushbrook said.
It replaces the current patchwork of stand-alone systems with one fully integrated digital system.

By linking airports using IP technology, the new system provides a remote monitoring capability to improve efficiency, safety, and lower training and maintenance costs. The standardised system will also support easier transfer of employees between stations.
