AlphaCom Exchange Installation at Incheon International Airport (IIA), One of the Largest Airports in Asia.
29 March 2006
Incheon International Airport (IIA) is a world-class airport which is most convenient, safe and economical for global citizens in Korea, which is located west of Seoul, on Yeongjong Island in the Yellow Sea, 52km from downtown Seoul. This new international airport was started in November 1992, finished in 2000, and the airport's two runways, passenger terminal complex and other facilities officially opened, fully operational, on 29 March 2001 as the world's sixth largest cargo airport and with capacity to serve 30 million passengers yearly. Passenger capacity could be extended annually to 100 million by 2020, which would transform IIA into Asia's main airport hub and one of the top ten busiest airports worldwide.
CHALLENGES
Since installation, the AlphaCom Exchange has stood head and shoulders above the other system as the centre of an integrated communication and security system. As IIA have expressed their satisfaction with the AlphaCom system, and for Phase 2, we have received an order of (3xAlphaCom Exchange 138, 9xCRM IV and stations) for installation in the new Terminal A and extended fence area, which will be connected to the existing system network between TSC and PSC. Phase 2 of the IIA construction began in 2003 and is due for completion in 2007, subsequently phase 3 of the IIA will begin construction.
THE SOLUTION
For the intercom, paging, PA and security communication, STENTOFON® AlphaCom system was installed at the:
- Passenger terminal, perimeter area, transportation centre and other facilities
- Four sets of AlphaCom 138 in multi module at TSC (Terminal Security Centre)
- Four sets of AlphaCom 138 in multi module at PSC (Perimeter Security Centre)
- Two sets of AlphaCom 138 in multi module at transportation centre
- One set of AlphaCom 138 at the panel system
- Two sets of AlphaCom M at other facilities
- 33 units of PNCI for interfacing to PABX
- 19 units of CRM IV for control rooms
- ASVP board with Korean voice messages
- 55 units of FBSAR for interfacing to PA-system
- 496 stations
All exchanges are interconnected in a network (AlphaNet).
Other systems such as intruder detection systems, access control systems, CCTV systems, voice loggers and the PA-system are interfaced to the AlphaCom system.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The system provides access to a wide range of communication and security features as well as interfaces with a range of external equipment. The flexibility of the AlphaCom allows the system to meet nearly all configuration requirements. The system provides voice communication between stations located along the fence and control rooms. Calls are initiated simply by lifting the handset of the station. All voice communication at the CRM IV stations is recorded on a digital voice logger. The AlphaCom is interfaced with a main server via the AlphaCom data protocol. In case of an alarm situation the main server will send commands to the AlphaCom to activate a siren and pre-recorded messages. The intruder alarm system located along the fence surrounding the airport is reporting to the main server. When intrusion is detected a signal is sent to the main server, which sends a command to the AlphaCom to activate a spoken warning message to horn speakers at this site.
