Years of proven performance
Praesideo by Bosch is ideal for medium and large-scale public
address and voice alarm applications. It features 28 dynamically
assigned digital audio channels, digital event scheduling
and message management, and can route background music (BGM)
to a virtually unlimited number of zones. The complete system
has been certified compliant with all major standards for
emergency evacuation, including EN 54-16, ISO 7240-16, EN
60849, and BS 5839:8 as well as many local evacuation standards.
in addition Praesideo by Bosch is certified compliant with
SOLAS, the most important international treaty concerning
the safety of marine and offshore applications
Always get your message across
The Praesideo Voice Evacuation System is fully supervised
and ensures message integrity by constantly monitoring system
control, amplifier operation, microphones, loudspeaker line
integrity and individual loudspeakers. Specifically, built-in
redundancy and automatic switching to
a spare amplifier guarantee continuity.
Total customizable solution
Praesideo by Bosch is a highly innovative system with a high
level of digital integration. Extra features provide additional
functionality when customizing a Praesideo system, like integrating
numeric keypads for use with access codes, or adding software-driven
interfaces, (e.g. PC Call Station) for remote management of
announcements and other events.
Flexibility, with no loss of
digital quality
The various elements of the Praesideo system are connected
via an interference free optical network, allowing equipment
to be conveniently located where it’s needed. Optical
technology also lets the system span greater distances without
loss of audio quality. It redefines the boundaries of quality,
flexibility and reliability.
Scalable solution
The de-centralized architecture of the Praesideo network facilitates
simple “daisychain” configurations. Units can be
added or removed, as required, for complete freedom. To support
longer distances or multi-site applications, the system allows
supervised communication with CobraNet™ in a Local Area
Network (LAN). The system can also be used via a Wide Area
Network (WAN), for Audio-over-IP functionality.
Uninterrupted operation
For added reliability and uninterrupted operation, especially
in emergency situations in voice alarm installations, the
network can be configured as a “redundant loop.”
This ensures that, even if there is a physical break in the
fiber optic cable, the system will operate smoothly.
Interactive
Part of an integrated security solution Praesideo is an open
platform that
communicates with other Bosch systems (building management
and fire-alarm systems) and with third-party solutions, such
as passenger-information systems.
Simplified configuration
The system is easy to configure, either locally or remotely,
and supports immediate system changes. Dedicated logging software
tracks information from multiple systems and can be accessed
from anywhere, to enable off-site monitoring and diagnostics.

Philips
SM30 and SM40 upgrade to Bosch Praesideo
In 2002, Robert Bosch GmbH acquired Philips Communications and
Security Inc. (Philips CSI). At that time Philips Communications
produced the marketing leading SM30, SM40 and SQ45 emergency
public address systems. Bosch have since gradually rebranded
and developed the established Philips CSI product range.
While older Philips emergency public address products such
as the SM30, SQ40 and SQ45 are no longer manufactured, Bosch's
evergreen policies enable NTE to offer clients an upgrade
path to Bosch Praesideo for their legacy equipment. For more
information see our dedicated Philips
SM30 and SM40
websites, or email our Bosch
team for assistance.
