Intratone intercom excels in reliability, security and durability

"Do you have any idea how much cabling an average intercom system needs?" I am asked this question by Edwin van Reijsen, marketing manager at Intratone Netherlands. "Huge. And in the wake of that cabling come things like breakdowns, maintenance, on-site repairs, miles that have to be driven...," Van Reijsen continues. That can be more reliable and sustainable; Intratone is living proof of that.

"We have the Owners' Association as our biggest target market. Our intercoms require no cables, no keys - which can only get lost - and no mileage. A digital key is used and it is completely wireless, with no wifi or bluetooth involved. So much more secure than the average system."

The SIM card as the beating heart of the system

Intratone started in France with technology in access control and today is appreciated worldwide. "Our access control systems allow a resident of an apartment complex to open the door remotely. Ideal for letting in care workers. Intratone distinguishes itself by using the GSM network. Briefly put: we place a highly resistant intercom system with SIM card on the wall, which is in connection with the door to be operated. As a result, we no longer depend on wiring or local wireless networks. The residents can call the door opener, which makes it secure. Even with a land line, the door can be opened through the intercom."

With the Intratone App, video can also be used via Smartphone, in addition to the ability to access. What about user management? Van Reijsen answers, "The tools we have developed for administrators give the ability to add and remove users at will and build in time locks for specific users. Intratone has this online tool running as a Cloud service, so there is no need to travel miles for administrator work. Everything can be done remotely."

Renovating an existing intercom? Rather replace it right away!

Van Reijsen outlines the little drama that occurs when an existing intercom system that is equipped with wiring needs to be renovated. "This requires so much radical wiring work to be done, that just the labor hours required to do so adds up to an extreme cost. Therefore, it is advisable, in the case of renovation, to provide an honest do the math and see at the bottom of the line whether replacement with an Intratone intercom is not much more economical. You simply say goodbye to the phenomenon of cabling and place the Intratone intercom in the place of the old one. Install, commission and the job is done."

Neat digital nameplates

Everyone knows the dreary sight of a bubble board with curling name stickers. Not exactly a calling card for visitors to a housing complex. Intratone has a beautiful and durable solution for that too: DINA (digital name signs). A bubble board with displays on which the names of the residents are neatly indicated. All in the same font, easy to read and also easier to view at night than a traditional sticker. "DINA can also be managed remotely. So a new resident can easily be added without having to travel miles," Van Reijsen said.

"The building manager can display messages that serve the public interest."

Info display in the hall

Intratone also supplies residential complexes with an extremely practical information display for the entrance. Van Reijsen explains: "The building manager can show messages on that display that serve the general interest. The great thing is that the information board also uses the same GSM technology, through connection with the access control unit. That way you create extremely conveniently more interactivity between residents and manager. The new info boards become interactive with touch buttons. With this, for example, a voting procedure on matters that are
engage everyone in the building, possible."

Working with Intratone benefits everyone. On the purchasing side, on the installation side, on the administrator side and last but not least: on the users' side, who are assured of a safe system with high reliability. For more information, visit the website of Intratone
