Working in partnership with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, Telent have developed and deployed the Vitavox Long-Range Speaker (VLS), to address the challenge of high-rise building evacuations.
VLS comprises a hand-portable, self-contained, highly directional acoustic device that is able to deliver spoken commands and instructions at very high acoustic levels over distances up to 1000m – 1500m. By enabling audio communication with residents of high rise building and other multiple occupancy residential buildings, the VLS solution is a valuable tool that can support fire and rescue services implement recommendation 33.22b of the Grenfell Report.
