Communication for Smart Cities
Giving Cities a Voice
"Smart City" is a common term in modern city planning, referring to concepts that make cities more efficient, technologically advanced, and eco-friendly for the inhabitants, commuters and tourists. This is achieved through the use of information and communication technologies, as well as data collection methods.
Information on the Go
Informing via interactive displays and loudspeakers in public areas such as bus stops or train stations, tourist information points, sights, parking facilities or e-charging stations.
Help at the Push of a Button
Using direct voice connections (if required, with added video and touch screen support) for easily accessible, instant and targeted help at the push of a button. This way, the tourist information bureau could provide directions or for example in the case of domestic violence, emergency services are just one klick away.
A Smart City is a Safe City
Audio/video and display solutions aid in the prevention, response to, and information about emergency situations. The possibilities range from Emergency Call Stations to “Talking Cameras” with built-in two-way loudspeakers.
Cities are often struggling with problem areas that are widely known but often avoided due to violence and criminal behaviour. At the same time, there is increasing concern about terror threats in popular and highly frequented locations. We provide technical solutions to make cities more secure.

Unlocking the Data's Potential
Using data for targeted measures, based on features and functions for intelligent creation and evaluation of audio data from Intercom stations, modules and loudspeakers.
Applications for Smart Cities
Informing
Public Transport Stops
Real-time information and two-way voice communication solutions ensure that users of urban public transport services can be kept informed and safe in order to reach their destination directly, quickly, and unharmed.
Protecting
Talking Cameras
Often the camera view is not enough. Therefore, IP speakers enable direct communication with those affected on site. They allow, for example, interrupting a potential crime by directly addressing the person commiting it.
Informing
Information Terminals for Tourists
Tourists now prefer to travel the 'smart' way, using apps and touch screens instead of printed city maps and brochures. Interactive displays make it easier to provide information and present important city issues and events. These systems could be expanded with Commend‘s Ivy, the world‘s first Conversational AI-based Intercom voice assistant, which could provide translations and answers to common questions.
Improving
Intercom Systems for Bollards
Growing an urban community into a "Smart City" involves improving the quality of city life. Traffic calming measures are a central requirement, one of which is the use of bollard gates with built-in Intercom modules.
Protecting
Smart Street Lights
Street lights are essential in urban environments, providing a sense of safety and security at night time. Smart street lights can further boost this sense of security by being equipped with networked emergency call stations, enabling help in case of need to be just a button press away.
