Protection & Rescue Zurich (SRZ) is the umbrella organisation for the fire brigade, the ambulance service (in the cantons of Zurich, Zug, Schaffhausen and Schwyz), civil defence, the operations control centre and the fire authority of the city of Zurich. Zurich Airport's rescue organisations with their areas of operation and services are also a part of this. This makes SRZ the largest civil rescue organisation in Switzerland. Operations are controlled centrally by the Operations Control System (ELS) which is directly connected to a large number of subsystems.

In a fundamental data hub concept, H+S has developed the ideal architecture for SRZ with regard to interoperability. This was deemed practicable in the course of the development process, and the economic viability of various use cases was analysed. With this foundation work in place, SRZ can plan today what users will need tomorrow. This is an important prerequisite for the preparation of tender documents and management of the project portfolio.

The Wetzikon GZO hospital is renewing its monitoring and telemetry services. In conjunction with the recent modernisation of the network infrastructure, the new solutions are intended to further improve the digitisation of treatment processes and the consistency of the data. In a total of 15 clinics and outpatient centres, monitoring services are being renewed and integrated into the ICT application architecture. In the future, telemetry data will be transmitted via a modernised network solution.

H+S Kommunikation AG was commissioned with the design and evaluation of the monitoring and telemetry services.

ASR (Association Sécurité Riviera) is a regional organisation for public security. It is responsible for local security in the nine partner municipalities covering the operation area.

ASR combines four rescue services: ambulance, police, civil protection, fire brigade.

ASR has a central telephone system that serves several buildings in the Riviera region. This platform has reached the end of its life cycle and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. For this reason, ASR has decided to initiate a project to select a new telecommunications solution to offer its employees appropriate tools to improve working conditions and efficiency for a better service to the population.

H+S supports the internal departments of ASR in the development of a specification and the evaluation according to public procurement law.

In conjunction with the structural renovation, the meeting rooms are also adapted to the changing communication requirements of a modern hospital operation.

In the role of specialist project management, H+S supports the internal specialist team in the redesign of the meeting infrastructure, which includes

• the spatial programme based on the preparatory work carried out by TU,
• the structured recording of requirements across all service areas of the hospital.

Among other things, the concept covered the following aspects:

• meeting types and frequencies,
• necessary communication infrastructures (LAN/WLAN/mobile),
• need for modern presentation infrastructures (audio/video),
• classic presentation aids (if still necessary),
• practical furnishing and catering equipment as required,
• reservation management,
• aspects of practicality and ergonomics,
• extensive standardisation across all relevant areas.

With the concept, stable and budgetable foundations for the necessary procurement and a controllable and risk-minimised implementation were created at all times.

Combined with the modernisation of the ICT architecture, the complex task is to create a new zone concept for the network integration of the data centre solution. Zoning supports, among other things, the important aspects of network security and bandwidth management. The zone concept must also be coordinated with a continuous interaction with the virtualisation concepts for servers, storage and end devices (VDI) as well as a seamless and secure integration into external cloud services. The resulting zone concept must also take into account operational conceptual aspects and the use of suitable management tools for highly automated administration.

H+S supports the internal departments in the development of the new network zone concept in the data centers as the basis for the further development steps of the network solution of the city of Lucerne.
