Swissphone s.ONE Fleet module is an addition to its s.ONE software solution. This provides for fast updates and centralized management of pager data such as RIC addresses or keys. The pagers are programmed over TCP/IP via remote configuration. This avoids errors, reduces programming effort, and increases data security. s.ONE Fleet enables remote programming of classic POCSAG pagers as well as two-way capable terminals such as the RES.Q. The infrastructure required for this is extremely lean: A remote configuration client can be installed wherever Internet access is available—at base or in the field using a data stick. With s.ONE Fleet in a station, emergency personnel who need to update their pagers can now do so in less than a minute.
