EMERGENCY SERVICE INDUSTRY
Qual-Tek is primarily a design and development corporation. We specialize in custom tailored
solutions (not "off the rack"). Here are a couple of examples of the type of equipment we have
developed which are currently being used by the emergency service industry.
911 Route Transfer Control System
Whenever a community’s PSAP (primary location where 911 calls are answered) is out of service,
emergency calls must be routed to an alternate location. Many systems are available to accomplish
this. However, they use the same telephone company equipment, software and network resources as
the primary route. Since this is often the cause of the PSAP being unavailable in the first
place, a better solution is needed.
Qual-Tek designed a system which allows the emergency service personnel to transfer traffic to
secondary lines which do not use the same resources. This system also has the capability of
monitoring and testing the secondary emergency lines to assure their availability when they are
needed.
Siren Control System
Qual-Tek developed a small, inexpensive system to control the Civil Defense or tornado sirens in
virtually any size community. The system consists of a master siren control unit and one or more
remote units located in telephone company offices. In a small community, both units can be
installed in a single mounting.
An ordinary telephone connected to the master unit is used to control the sirens. Commands are
input from the keypad using standard DTMF signaling. Audible responses are returned through the
phone to inform the user of the state of the sirens. All facilities are monitored and alarmed to
ensure reliablility.
An optional controller can be added to automatically test the sirens at scheduled times. This
device also provides multiple cadences for different types of warnings.
