When you are installing public facing telephones here are a few additional factors that need to be taken into account in comparison to your usual telecoms deployment.
Telephones that are to be used ‘in the field’ need to be rugged – in other words they will need to be able to withstand the weather, the cold and the rain and the hot sun. They will also need to be able to be resistant to wilful damage or vandalism. In addition to these protective measures the telephones should be easy to operate and reliable.
With these pre-requisites in mind Gai-Tronics ( a division of Hubbell Limited ) have created an entire range of telephones, perfectly designed for use in public facing areas, both internal and external – here we look at a few of their best selling models and see what features they have incorporated in order to make them best for for use.
Gai-Tronics Commander
The Gai-Tronics Commander is a basic special environment telephone which is robust and weather resistant to IP65 which comes with a variety of options, being built with a glass filled polyester body which is highly durable.
These come in 1, 3 or full keypad varieties which would be used in varying instances such as a one button for connection to an emergency number or information service; a three button which also has limited ‘press to call’ options and a full keypad for outgoing calls.
The SIP version will connect to a VoIP network whilst the basic version will connect to generic PBX or PSTN lines. There is also the Gai-Tronics Commander CB which can only answer or make a call by being picked up and a fully waterproof plastic bodied version.
