Newark Airport
Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, USA
Parking Lot Emergency Telephone Upgrade |
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Port of NY/NJ wanted to make their emergency communication system at the Newark Airport easier to use, easier to maintain, and capable of providing both emergency and non-emergency assistance information.
To accomplish this goal, the Port of NY/NJ (Newark) purchased GAI-Tronics S.M.A.R.T. telephones - these highly visible, dedicated function, supervised telephones met all of the customers requirements.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
GAI-Tronics' S.M.A.R.T. telephones, utilising the Self-Monitoring and Reporting Technology, offer both emergency and information communication options, and interface to a PC-based Telephone Management System. These units are equipped with three autodial buttons, for Emergency, Assistance, and Information, as well as a keypad that can be used by employees or other authorised users to dial other airport extensions. This configuration means that the airport does not have to maintain two separate telephone systems, but that the emergency system can also be used for operational purposes - fewer phones to monitor and maintain.
Each telephone is connected to the airport's PABX on a dedicated analogue line. Throughout his interface, the Telephone Management System (TMS) continuously polls each telephone to verify its operational status, or "health". If any telephone is not operational, a report is generated to notify maintenance personnel. Because this system may be used to report life-threatening emergencies, it is crucial that every telephone be functioning at all times. Not only does the S.M.A.R.T. system ensure all telephones are functional, the TMS function also saves maintenance personnel from having to physically check each telephone - they can simply print a maintenance report to determine if any telephone requires service. The system operator can acquire a status report by either executing a manual enquiry or configuring the system to generate automatic daily or weekly reports.
