Studies and design

Our ‘studies and design’ offer is for users who need a customised solution but also manufacturers who want to develop a product or solution rapidly from existing software and hardware bricks so as to remain concentrated on the added value of their core business.

PRESCOM’s technical teams design and develop products, applications and telecommunication solutions based on the most recent technologies in processing voice and data signals (echo cancellation, coding, compression, soundproofing, etc.), signalling and protocol conversion (telephone, radio, IP, etc.), multimedia network management and design of high availability systems and their technology.

The hardware and software developments made by our teams are used to:

  • Adapt to different media (use of codecs)
  • Switch and distribute communications
  • Create diverse conferencing mechanisms
  • Create interoperability between diverse networks (telephone, digital radio, analogue radio)
  • Create an interconnection with analogue and digital radio networks
    (PMR, Trunking, TETRAPOL, TETRA, DMR)
  • Create applications for operator stations.

Examples of projects

Our teams can manage all or some of the following services:

  • General and detailed specifications
  • Design
  • Approval
  • Operational maintenance
  • Obsolescence management

Customisation of business applications

The uses of critical communication systems vary greatly depending on the customer (Police, fire brigade, emergency medical services, urban transport, infrastructure controller, airports, etc.).

Determined to be as close as possible to business needs, Prescom proposes its customers a customisation offer for the communication applications implemented.

This offer covers adaptation of the human-machine interfaces as well as the complete production of applications.

Our offer includes the specifications based on an expression of need formalised by the customer or by Prescom from meetings and a functional analysis conducted with the final users.

Support and operational maintenance

As the environment of our customers does not tolerate any interruption in service, we offer technical support that continuously provides effective help for technical teams and operators.
Support and operational maintenance

A telephone support service and a hot line during the night, weekends and holidays provide an initial effective response to customers if an incident arises. This support is directly managed by Prescom technicians and engineers. The hot line is reserved for critical or blocking incidents.

Our technical departments provide a rapid and effective response by remote maintenance using powerful administrative and supervisory tools available to our solutions.

When necessary, our teams also travel to sites to resolve incidents or perform preventive or ongoing maintenance operations.

The high level of expertise of our teams enables us to process and resolve software anomalies within good deadlines while implementing a workaround solution in the meantime.

We also commit to maintaining the deployed solutions over a period of at least ten years from the moment a service contract is signed.

Training

Prescom offers its customers different training courses that range from operator support to expert level technical training. These training courses are designed to provide final users and maintenance staff with a perfect knowledge of Prescom solutions.

Our user and administrator training courses are preferably given on customer premises, so as to be as close as possible to operational needs.

We also offer technical training that enables our customers’ technical teams to maintain the delivered solutions. This training preferably takes place at Prescom, which has suitable platforms for training technical staff.

Prescom is a declared training body. The training provided by Prescom can thus be considered as vocational training.
