On December 1-2, 2021 we took part in the SIwE conference, which is the largest event in the industry. This year there were 340 participants representing electricity suppliers and cooperating entities. At its small stand, DGT presented the offer of communication devices and the DGT PTT Connect Group Communication System.

 

THE CONCEPT OF INTEROPERABILITY OF THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AT THE COUNTY (POVIAT) LEVEL

On September 20, 2021, Mr. Waldemar Kaak defended his doctoral dissertation above entitled as above at the Faculty of Logistics and Management of the Military University of Technology (WAT) in Warsaw.

The main objective of the research was to develop the concept of information interoperability allowing for the improvement of crisis management processes by eliminating the observed dysfunctions and increasing the level of information interoperability between entities included in the safety net of the crisis management plan at the county (poviat) level.

The IRv2R radio integrator, produced by DGT, was used for the research consisting in conducting expert interviews and command exercises. The presented equipment received very high marks from the participants of the research (district commanders of the Police, State Fire Service and managers of deparments competent for crisis management in the following counties: Gorzowski, Sulęciński and Strzelce-Drezdenko).

On the basis of the conducted research, numerous deficits were noticed, both in terms of organizational, legal and technical aspects. Representatives of individual administrative entities showed that information interoperability is clearly disturbed, especially in horizontal structures. The respondents clearly emphasized that information interoperability has a very large impact on the efficiency of the crisis management system in the poviat. The author of the dissertation, after collecting detailed information, indicated the proposed solutions. A catalog of crisis situations and other events relevant to the state of safety and public order has been developed, which are subject to information exchange between services, guards and inspections at the poviat level. The indicated technical solution in the form of the IRv2R radio integrator - in the opinion of the respondents - strengthens the correct process of information interoperability.

On September 29-30, 2021, we were present at the conference connected with the Defence24 Day & SOFEAST exhibition. The conference, attended by over 800 people, was a forum for the presentation and discussion of trends in various areas concerning the Polish Armed Forces. At our stand, we presented the DGT PTT Connect system and products intended for the military market.

We are pleased to announce that at the 34th ENERGETAB 2021 Fair we received a distinction for the product: OTUS electricity meter with TRAM modem with LTE cat. M1 at 450 MHz.

Smart electricity meter OTUS is a product of Apator SA. We equip it with a TRAM communication modem.

The TRAM modem introduces the telecommunications element to the OTUS meter, becoming its integral part. The basic function of the device is to provide remote access to the meter, i.e. the ability to set up a two-way telecommunications link to perform operations such as: reading measurement data, configuring tariff plans, receiving alarms or controlling the power guard. The awarded device has a TRAM modem in which radio access is possible based on LTE cat. M-1 and NBIoT. In addition, the operation at 450 MHz makes the device a unique solution on the market, perfectly matching the needs of the energy sector.

On September 14-16, 2021, the 34th edition of the International Energy Fair ENERGETAB 2021 in Bielsko-Biala took place. Over 270 exhibitors participated in the fair (much less than in the pre-epidemic period), whose expositions were located both in the sports hall and in four tent halls and at open areas.

At our stand, we presented products from the M2M family. We hosted users of our systems and devices.

We received a prize for the DGT TRAM modem, which is the equipment of the OTUS electricity meter manufactured by Apator.

from the Competition Committee for the DGT TRAM modem, which is the equipment of the OTUS electricity meter manufactured by Apator.

DGT 30 lat machamy

On September 13, 2021, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of operating on the market. We would like to thank our Clients, Associates, Employees and Members of the Management Board.

For the fourth time, we took part in a cyclical conference organized by Targi Lublin. This time it was organized in Depułtycze Królewskie near Chełm. An element of the Fair was to be demonstrations of equipment and Border Guard officers. For organizational reasons, it was limited to the conference and exhibition parts. During the event, we mainly promoted the DGT PTT Connect system.

Energa Operator is the first Distribution System Operator in Poland whose telecommunications system, together with the TETRA system, meets the requirements of the NC ER European Commission network codes. Energa Operator has just completed work related to the adaptation of the dispatch communication system to these standards. The codes define the requirements for crisis situations and the rules related to the reconstruction of the energy system after a possible extensive failure.

The dispatching system operating in Energa Operator consists of: a telephone subsystem based on telecommunications servers, a radio subsystem for cooperation with the TETRA radiocommunication network, a subsystem for recording and archiving telephone and radio calls, dispatcher consoles and dispatcher tablets, enabling dispatchers to have mobile communication.

As part of the modernization works, 77 dispatch consoles, headsets and footswitches for PTT (Push-To-Talk) radio connections were replaced with the latest version. New dispatch consoles with a dispatcher application enable quick access to telephone, radio and other functionalities provided by the integrated communication system. As part of the modernization, statistical and billing software was also adjusted to the requirements of NC ER network codes. The modernization works were carried out by DGT.

 
 

Delivery and launching of the DGT IPnova communication server with DGT Asystent software as part of the Asseco Data Systems construction for the Togolese Republic - the first institution in this country responsible for cyber security.
DGT devices support the French language and support the operation of the National Security Center, enabling 24/7 reporting of cybercrime threats by citizens and enterprises.

Before the end of the year, we completed a project to modernize the radio system of the retransmission station for the Pomeranian Voivodship Office in Gdańsk. The task included, among others design and installation of a radio gate with a dedicated base radio, installation of antennas, power supplies and the necessary infrastructure. The gate was attached to the DGT MCS integrated dispatch communication system used by PUW. It is available remotely from the dispatcher station (DGT 5810 dispatcher console with touch screen) used in the Voivodship Crisis Management Center.

The implemented project is called: "Software-defined, universal radio interface for intelligent devices of the Internet of Things". It is implemented by a consortium based on the Gdańsk University of Technology and DGT.

The project has been divided into three stages. The first and second part are, respectively, industrial research and development works conducted jointly by scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology and DGT employees, while the third part is pre-implementation works which will be carried out only by the consortium leader - DGT.

The radio interface, called DUCH IoT, will be used to expand existing or implement new Internet of Things devices. The Internet of Things is one of the most dynamically developed areas of technology currently and concerns devices that collect and process data, and implement radio communication.

The project's budget is PLN 10 million, of which funding obtained through the National Center for Research and Development competition under the Intelligent Development Operational Program exceeds PLN 8 million.

We invite you to discover our new product - Universal Workstation DGT 5810-12. The DGT 5810-12 workstation is a ready-made kit for organizing any workplace that requires a reliable interface to conduct tasks in an interactive way. The set is a professional, efficient and noiseless all-in-one computer with an integrated additional monitor. Please click the link to know more about the Station.
