Communications for life

Applications

The system integrates external crew by a reliable wireless connection to theaircraft intercom system. It provides mission critical communication, increased situational awareness, more effective operationsand increases safety.

Main areas of use:

SearchandRescue(SAR) EmergencyMedicalServices

(EMS)

Polycon allows EMS and SAR crews to stay connected during all phases of the rescue

Polycon is taking SAR operations into the 21st century. Evolving from hand signals to direct speech is like moving from night to day.

Of all the various equipment we have installed in our helicopters the past 10 years, Polycon is by far the most significant operational improvement

A dual band hand-held radio with Maritime VHF channels will give the operator the advantage of combining two radios in one, reducing the number of radios external crew members need to carry and thus increase safety and comfort through reduced complexity and weight.

Polycon provides reliable wireless intercom in or outside the aircraft. Polycon by Axnes
