User safety
Parking facility users rely on intercom for several purposes. When they are blocked at the entrance or exit gate they wish to talk to the control room. In case there is a problem with the payment terminal, they can call for assistance. Modern car parks grow bigger and bigger and that comes with a growing concern for the users’ safety. Walking to the car in a quiet parking area can cause anxiety to the customers.

The STENTOFON Conventional and IP Substations are typically used as communication, information or emergency points.

The City of Minneapolis Municipal Parking comprises 19 parking facilities with a total of 22 000 spaces and has a view towards adding another 15 to 18 facilities. In addition, the Parking Association had to find a means to reduce the enormous costs associated with providing “round-the-clock” security for its existing locations. A sophisticated electronic security system was quickly put in place with each location utilizing CCTV, access control and STENTOFON intercoms, all monitored from a remote but central security control center. The communication system utilizes AlphaCom exchanges linked over the city's fiber backbone and approximately 400 STENTOFON stations.
