Did you see the spectacular opening of the Burj Khalifa during the holiday period? The tallest building in the world and previously known as the Burj Dubai. It stands at over 800 metres.

The Jacques 650 Series Integrated Communications System was selected for the following systems as it includes special features such as, hign reliability and comprehensive built in diagnostics.

·         Security Access Communications

·         IP Lift Intercoms

·         IP Firestair Intercoms

·         IP Balcony Communications

Jacques IP Intercoms were installed in the 57 elevators located in this building. As these elevators have the world's longest travel distance from lowest to highest stop, Jacques Cable Extender Modules were employed. This module enables the cable distance between an Ethernet device (slave station) and a network switch to be extended by up to 2kms. The innovative module uses a single twisted pair cable making it suitable for building lift applications allowing most TCP/IP based equipment including intercom stations to be installed.

The Burj Khalifa fire stair intercom solution was also manufactured and supplied by Jacques. This building has 2,909 stairs from the ground floor to the 160th floor and during emergency or evacuation, authorities will have contact with people in the fire stairs.

Jacques Slave Intercom Stations have been installed on apartment balconies. These weather and vandal resistant devices are perfectly designed for the harsh Middle East climate and will give residents access to communication whilst outdoors on their balconies.
