The STRABAG Infrastructure & Safety Solutions NGS3600 radio/wire communication system is the newest generation of a high-performance and failure-proof communication system. The NGS3600 is an integrative system platform for the relaying of emergency calls and conventional telephone calls, analogue radio channels as well as digital radio telephony and voice signals of other various media. Operation and user guidance is carried out via a separate, designable, touchoptimised GUI or integrated via other control centre systems. Areas of application − Control centres of emergency organisations, such as fire brigades, rescue services, police − Control rooms of public transport (traffic companies, railways, mountain railways) − Industry authorities, headquarters of site security and security guard − Process control points of energy suppliers − Control rooms of service operations, such as taxi dispatch centres, courier services − Security centres (sporting venues, airports, railway stations, shopping centres, amusement parks…) System architecture The NGS3600 is subject to a full, pure VoIP concept and, accordingly, systems can be compactly set up in networked at a location or nationwide via IP connections. Every system has an intermediary server, media gateways as interfaces to the various external media and workplace equipment for the operation. According to the availability requirements, these system components can be designed as single or double cluster solutions and also have redundant network connections. The capacity of the system covers the bandwidth of small control centres to large control centres up to 80 workstations and more without changes of components, so that the design and expansion possibilities have no limits. The software concept offers functional modules that cover the various application areas of a control centre operation and can be combined and adjusted depending on the requirement. All components are designed for integration into a separate or superordinate error monitoring and network management. 1 02_16_STRABAG_Leitstellentechnik_ENG_r12.indd 4 11.03.16 09:21 Product Lines 5 Workstations The workstations combine all functions of the system on a single user interface (touch panel or mouse/keyboard operation). A dispatcher workstation is designed in such a way that the dispatcher can solve his respective tasks quickly and without complications, even under stress, as seconds can be decisive. Media gateways A dispatcher workstation consists of a workstation computer with an intuitive control panel and corresponding speech devices.

Times and technologies change, but our passion is always there. №33 / 2019 HYDRONEWS 3 Solving the challenges of the hydropower market Dear Business Friends, The energy market – and the hydropower indus- try especially – is facing many challenges with the growing demand for “base load renewables” and aging of much of the existing hydropower fleet. As a result, new strategies are needed for success- ful hydro asset management and operation. One solution to reduce costs and improve operations is maintenance optimization to increase revenues. The new Metris DiOMera Platform, developed by ANDRITZ, is addressing these topics. Among recent Wolfgang Semper Harald Heber project successes are the latest orders for Metris DiOMera, coming from the PresAGHO project in South America and Cerro del Águila in Peru. At a time when baseload power generation from fossil resources has to be replaced by a carbon-free renewable energy-based alternative, large-scale energy hybrid solutions offer a vital approach for the future. Hybrid solutions combine two or more power generation technologies with at least one renewable energy source, as well as a power and energy storage system.
