Jontek’s new generation Answer-link 3G Telecare Response Centre was tested with the latest range of Tynetec Telecare equipment under the supervision of a BT engineer.
 
The importance of the new BS8521 standard has been highlighted by the TSA, as stated in their recent announcement (11th May, 2009):
 
“We are pleased to announce the publication of BS8521 which has been developed over many years  with the facilitation of the TSA and the major equipment suppliers working together to achieve this objective.  
 
The major equipment suppliers have all committed in advance to implement the standard in both remote control and alarm receiving centre equipment following publication of the standard. 
 
This event means that it should be possible for all service providers to procure equipment which has been designed to work with next generation networks such as BT 21CN  before the implementation of the new network across the UK
 
BS8521 offers for the first time the promise of improved interoperability of remote controllers supplied by different manufacturers, better identification and localisation of alarms and events and a solution which is resilient in the telecommunications network environment post 2010.”
 
We can confirm that the BS8521 Telecare protocol will be available on the Answer-link 3G system and Tynetec Telecare equipment from June 2009 onwards.
 
Answer-Link 3G is the latest generation of Telecare Response Centre to be provided by Jontek.  The system is fully Web enabled, complies with the TSA Code of Practice and is in line with the Supporting People requirements for more flexible and cost-effective methods of working.
