A leading Home Automation control and management company,
AMX, has announced it has used VoIP in its latest touch screen control panels
to allow intercom functionality.
The Modero control panels meet the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) G.711 sound standard, enabling them to deliver
a telephone-quality user experience, says the company.
"AMX continues to add advanced new features to our touch
panels as a direct response to customer demand," said Robert Noble, AMX's vice
president of product management and marketing. "With our new Moderos, a
separate intercom system is no longer needed. The same touch panels that
control and automate homes can now also be used to improve communication
between families."
Without mentioning any prospects of making external IP
Telephony part of the system, AMX says the newest panels offer one-way
broadcast and two-way communications between panels. The panels are suitable
for both residential and commercial implementation.
You can also use one panel to monitor another with a listen
only feature si8milar to baby monitor functionality or for privacy, users can
totally disable all intercom capabilities for a temporary period.
