Ringdown Firebar Conference Server, Crash Phone System, saves lives by notifying first responders in a timely manner.

Integrated System

Ability to start with an analog based Firebar system and over time migrate it to an IP based Firebar system.

Product Overview

XOP Networks’ Ringdown Firebar Conference Server, a Crash Phone System, scales from 8 ports to 96 ports. It provides direct termination for analog (Red) phones and IP based SIP phones. These crash phone systems are typically deployed in campus locations that are prone to emergency situations, e.g., Airports, Air Force Bases, Chemical plants, Oil and gas installations etc. A person close to the emergency can simply lift the handset on any (or designated) RFCS connected phone and trigger a dial out to the other phones. As first responders answer these calls they are automatically placed into a conference with the initiator. A unique aspect of XOP Networks’ RFCS is its ability to also interface with on-site PBX or IP PBX. This allows people outside the immediate emergency area to be reached via the PSTN. The XOP Networks RFCS systems can be deployed in high availability (99.999%) configuration.
