OverviewCOBS AM is a D-SERVER module that enables two-way speech and Advanced Messaging between D-CALL II (SIP) devices and COBS wireless handsets. It provides alarm listing, status updates and handset functions commonly required in care environments such as door opening, task registration, presence/ready indication and Assistance alarms.
Key features- Speech between D-CALL II (SIP) devices and COBS handsets
- Optional encryption of speech between COBS handsets and D-CALL II
- Advanced Messaging: synchronized alarm lists and status on all handsets
- Customizable colour and vibration per alarm type and status
- No internet connection or SIM card required for core features
- Functional parity with D-TREX 2G handset features
- Local infrastructure control suitable for clinical environments
How it worksCare staff use a SIP device (typically a D-CALL II carephone) to communicate with colleagues or patients while COBS handsets display and update an active alarm list automatically when changes occur. COBS handsets support standard functions (door opening, task registration, presence/ready, sending Assistance alarms) and keep visual and vibration states synchronized across devices via Advanced Messaging.
Deployment and connectivityCOBS AM is designed to operate where internet connectivity may be limited. Core functionality does not require internet access or a SIM card. Optionally, the system can integrate with a 3CX PBX to enable mobile and landline calls. Additional SIP accessories such as door phones can be added as needed.
DECT infrastructureCOBS AM requires a DECT-based infrastructure. For small nursing homes, a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 with two or three DECT repeaters is often sufficient to extend coverage. Once DECT is deployed, COBS handsets are added in D-SERVER similarly to D-TREX 2G; vibration and colour settings can be defined per state.
