Oslo Fire and Rescue Department talks about their experience introducing a new headset solution for the department in the magazine "Brannmannen". We can read about the process from the project started, through concept study, evaluation period, and supplier selection, to introduction throughout the department. The background for the project was the registered demand for a communications solution that would both ensure secure communication in all conditions, and close HSE deviations concerning the need for protection of the firefighter's hearing. There was a desire for a flexible, robust system that enabled the connection of emergency network communication systems, and ensured that communication could be maintained even in environments with extreme noise. Smoke fans, chainsaws, and industrial alarms are noise sources that previously made it impossible to communicate over radio communication systems. This is now history. The flexibility of the system now makes it possible not only to communicate over radio communication systems, but with the same equipment communicate over mobile phones, with rescue dives, through intercom systems in helicopters, vehicles, and vessels, as well as receive audio signals from sensors or other sound sources.
