The use of industrial intercoms and communication systems has really increased in the military and at major airports over the past several years. Due to the increased threat of terrorist attacks over the past few years, many major airports across the country and around the world, have constructed new multiple level security divisions that require high quality industrial intercoms and communication systems in order to operate. At many major airport facilities in the United States for example, new security intercoms have been installed in the baggage claim and main concourse areas. This was done in order to ensure that all airport security personnel could communicate quickly and effectively in case of any type of emergency event.
In terms of intercom models, the majority of intercom systems have wireless features and also come with a gate entry call box. Having these type of features are mandatory in any type of high level security division, especially if there is a need to verify and confirm outside guests and visitors. Because of all the recent advancements made in communication technology, airport security chiefs and their staff are able to communicate quickly from one end of the airport to the other. This type of advanced communication feature even allows security teams to communicate with other staff members who are stationed outside.
In terms of industrial intercom and communication systems used in the military, these systems usually feature the highest form of communication quality possible. Due to the type of security needed in the military, the majority of intercom systems installed have very advanced features and are also wireless. For example, increased enemy attacks against military units stationed in places like the Middle East, has prompted military chiefs to request the construction of new multi-unit buildings. Because some cell phone networks do not operate efficiently in many of these outlying areas, most military units today have to rely on intercom systems in order to effectively communicate with military staff stationed in other buildings. Due to the nature of their operations, all intercom communication systems installed must be of the highest quality. Just like at many major airports today, many of the intercom systems used in the military are also connected to gate entry call boxes. This added feature allows military troops to easily confirm outside guests or identify potential intruders.
Because of the overall effectiveness of these systems, the number of intercom units installed at major airports and at military bases is expected to increase by at least thirty five percent by the end of 2015.
