RTS launches OMS (OMNEO Main Station), its new partyline intercom family

Analog partylines users can enter the IPcal world with this solution while extending the life of their legacy equipment.

RTS lanza OMS (OMNEO Main Station), a hybrid IP/digital/analog main station for party line intercom systems and the core component of a new product family: RTS Digital Partyline.

Presented in a compact 1RU package, OMS is a versatile and cost-effective solution capable of interconnecting both wired/wireless and IP/digital/analog devices. Supports the conectividad total TCP/IP. And OMS represents the RTS philosophy of bridging all standards and formats.

The Omneo IP technology, which incorporates Dante (audio transport) and AES70 (device control) allows OMS to interface with RTS digital matrix products (including ADAM, ADAM-M, ODIN, KP series keyboards and the ROAMEO DECT wireless system) and with the upcoming new members of the RTS Digital Partyline family.

Therefore, OMS can provide a path from legacy equipment to the latest technology, allowing users to migrate to the flexibility of an IP infrastructure without the complexity of a matrix system, all while protecting the investment value of their existing partyline analog hardware.

WHO is available in five configurations Licensed to fit user budget and application requirements: Advanced, Intermediate and Basic Digital (each with OMNEO); Analog Plus and Analog (main station options for analog-only partyline systems). Software upgrades allow you to increase capacity and functionality as needs evolve. Users who need both analog and digital should upgrade to OMS Intermediate or OMS Advanced.

All OMS configurations feature a high-resolution, full-color front panel display and an intuitive icon-based menu structure to simplify system configuration and control. The panel layout will be immediately familiar to partylines users, and has color-coded controls specific to each channel (talk/listen/call/volume).

Each of the four sets of buttons can be programmed to work with any destination on the system. The AC power supply has a locking IEC connector, and the unit's energy-efficient and ventilated case design means no cooling fans are needed, saving energy and ensuring quiet operation.

Additionally, it includes support for four four-wire analog AIO ports, four two-wire analog ports (equipped with echo cancellation), two program inputs, and one stage announcement output.

The Ethernet connectivity is via copper or fiber (for OMS Intermediate and OMS Advanced versions with OMNEO). Additional OMNEO expansion audio ports are included for networking with other OMS units, allowing for additional system capacity and shared line capability as part of a distributed or multi-site system. OMS Intermediate and OMS Advanced configurations are supported on the TIF-2000A digital telephone interface.

The fully featured OMS Advanced version allows the user to convert between four different formats: OMNEO, RVON, four-wire and two-wire AIO. G.711, G.722 and G.729AB codecs are supported. Up to 40 OMNEO devices can be connected, including ROAMEO beltpacks (for which OMS can also serve as a stand-alone base station), up to eight keypads and up to 16 partial lines. OMS Advanced supports four channels of RVON (RTS Voice Over Network) through RTS KP-series keyboards, for robust remote networking with other RVON-enabled equipment (RVO Trunking is not supported).
