As specialists in public address and voice alarm systems, at OPTIMUS we develop custom engineering solutions tailored to the operational and regulatory requirements of each project. The OPTIMAX3 platform integrates proprietary architecture hardware and software, which can be combined with standard components from the COMPACT range (such as management cards, control microphone desks, and high-efficiency power amplifiers). Its high flexibility, modularity, and scalability allow for continuous adaptation or ad-hoc development of new hardware and software according to the specific needs of the installation.
Key Features and Integration Capabilities
- Specialisation in critical infrastructure and transport: We offer a wide range of IP audio equipment designed to comply with the most demanding technical standards of the railway industry, airports, and tunnels. We develop customized solutions (both in hardware and firmware/software) for the conditioning of complex installations.
- Backed by experience in major projects: The OPTIMAX3 architecture capitalizes on the know-how accumulated over more than 40 years in the most restrictive mass transit facilities (MRT, LRT), industrial sites, and major infrastructure.
- IP migration and modernization: Through the OPTIMAX3 core, it is possible to design native IP PA/VA infrastructures from scratch, or to digitize and upgrade existing analog systems, transforming them into advanced platforms based on data networks.
- Custom engineering and design: As specialized manufacturers of public address and voice evacuation systems, at OPTIMUS we focus on providing a dedicated engineering service, delivering tailored solutions for projects with special technical requirements in industrial plants, airports, or underground routes.
- Centralized or distributed architectures: The OPTIMAX3 system is ideal for centralized, distributed, or hybrid deployments, offering a fully modular and scalable structure for infrastructures of any size interconnected via the corporate network.
- Integration and custom development: Its technical versatility and interconnection capabilities allow adapting or creating new hardware and developing custom software, guaranteeing seamless integration with other global management systems (BMS, SCADA, or Fire Alarm Panels).
Representative Sectors
Railways
OPTIMAX3 guarantees centralized management and safety in railway networks, from major terminals to remote halts. Its decentralized and redundant IP architecture keeps public address and voice alarm systems operational even during network failures, ensuring maximum intelligibility on platforms and control centers through integration with SIP telephony, CAN bus, and noise sensors.
Industry
Designed for demanding environments, OPTIMAX3 easily integrates via IP, API, and SCADA with the plant's safety systems. It enables precise zoning by halls, automatic volume adjustment based on ambient noise, and hot swapping of power amplifiers, guaranteeing clear announcements and safe evacuation without interrupting activity.
Airports
OPTIMAX3 provides the scalability required to manage complex audio traffic in airport terminals. It allows distributing multiple simultaneous IP channels, zoning informational and emergency announcements in boarding gates and commercial areas, and integrating VoIP/SIP microphone stations for a seamless and safe user experience.
Tunnels
To overcome high reverberation and background noise in tunnels, OPTIMAX3 employs a distributed IP amplification architecture that adjusts sound by sections. Thanks to its fault tolerance, dual network connection, and dynamic adaptation to ambient noise, it ensures pre-recorded evacuation messages are heard with total clarity when it matters most.
On-board Equipment
On-board equipment demonstrates the maximum flexibility and adaptability of the OPTIMAX3 system through fully customized hardware and software solutions. In metro and train carriages, these public address and voice alarm systems are essential to keep passengers informed and ensure their safety through clear announcements regarding stops, connections, and emergency protocols. Their technical robustness and high audio quality overcome ambient noise to offer intelligible communication at all times. Furthermore, their seamless integration with other on-board systems (such as CCTV surveillance or passenger information displays) enables coordinated emergency management and smooth interaction between staff and passengers.
