22 Bishopsgate & Logic Connect

Logic Connect not only offers a fully integrated hybrid solution using two-way radio devices for critical comms and mobile network/Wi-Fi devices throughout the rest of the building, enabling the client to run their own 22 Bishopsgate apps and ChatterPTT on the same mobile device.

Project Summary

The Client

22 Bishopsgate is a commercial skyscraper in London’s financial district and stands at 278m tall with 62 stories. It’s one of the largest office buildings ever built in Britain. CSE Chatterbox selected Logic Wireless & the Logic Connect platform as their technology partner.

The Challenge​

How do you manage communications in such a large facility?

Peter Bicknell, Head of Engineering 22 Bishopsgate, JLL says “We wanted the system to be more about just voice and communications. And to offer other benefits to the Health and Safety and the operations of the building. CSE Chatterbox proposed a customised solution to allow us to monitor mobile and radio user locations throughout the building, to manage alerts and help co-ordinate staff more effectively in the event of an emergency.”

The System

How have you achieved a single view across staff health and safety?

“Our system has been designed for to incorporate features to specifically provide for the safety of those looking after the site. Including emergency alerting, indoor and outdoor location tracking and monitoring of personnel working in high risk areas.” Says Peter Bicknell, Head of Engineering 22 Bishopsgate, JLL.

Logic Connect tracks both Tait Digital radios and Sonim devices within the one platform. Logic Connect not only offers a fully integrated hybrid solution using two-way radio devices for critical comms and mobile network/Wi-Fi devices throughout the rest of the building, enabling the client to run their own 22 Bishopsgate apps and ChatterPTT on the same mobile device.

“Following consultation with CSE Chatterbox, we chose to deploy Sonim Ruggedised Mobile Handsets for our staff, using the POC application.”

Outcomes

How have you achieved system reliability so vital in a high profile facility like 22 Bishopsgate?

“In our control room, we use especially developed cloud based software platform, Logic Connect to track the location of mobiles devices and monitor and manage emergency alerts received from the devices. For people with roles in high risk areas a lone worker feature is included in the Logic Connect Software to provide even better safety monitoring and ensure prompt assistance is available in the event of an accident or an incident.” Says Peter.

Logic Connect also records all conversations made over Tait Radios and Sonim devices. Logic Connect can run on any authorised smart device and for the control 22 Bishopsgate chose to deploy this on a professional tablet device. This enabled a multi bearer, single view platform for workgroup safety and productivity.
