Station End systems that mobilise fire stations, alert retained firefighters to respond to an incident and page RNLI lifeboat crew to mobilise for a launch.

From the second a 999 call is made to a Fire and Rescue Service, the technology infrastructure becomes critical in alerting crews and enabling efficient, effective response. We are the Partner of choice for over 20 fire and rescue services across the UK and Ireland, providing and supporting their Station End solutions – a vital resource mobilising firefighters and fire appliances.

PSTN Replacement for secondary bearers

The switch off and withdrawal of the PSTN network at the end of 2025 is being widely publicised. In many cases these traditional telephone lines are currently used as a secondary bearer for station end and mobilisation systems.

A range of PSTN replacement solutions are available from Telent that use 4G mobile network services to provide the secondary bearer capability, including an option that is compatible with the ESN Connect service. These solutions have been developed and deployed specifically for mobilisation applications across fire and rescue services plus other public safety organisations. The ESN ready solution was provided to Avon FRS to replace its secondary bearer Paknet network.

Station End, ready for ESN

The role of Station End systems is critical in the mobilisation of resources, providing the vital link from control room to firefighters and appliances. Because of this mission critical function, Station End systems are typically connected via multiple bearer networks to provide resiliency, with the Paknet service and PSTN lines frequently used as secondary or even tertiary connections. However, both of these services are due to be retired and systems will also require compatibility with ESN.

Telent offers fire and rescues services an evergreen upgrade route for Station End systems, through the deployment of a dual SIM router that is ESN compatible and combines high-performance with advanced security features. The proven solution has been developed for mission critical applications and delivers the perfect solution to replace Paknet and PSTN bearers and prepare systems to be ready for the transition to ESN.
