Innovation as Tradition
Pietro Borroni, founder of Fitre
CommunicationsFirst
Fitre faces and solves the communication problems in the industrial sectors and throughout the terri-
tory, meeting harsh working conditions and unexpected constraints.
We place communications needs on the primary level and make use of our experience to analyze, pro-
cess and answer to the operating requests from partners and customers.
Fitre supports its clientele in the development of appropriate solutions for their specific communication
problems, towards reliable communications as primary factor in the growth of each business and in the
security of the territory.
There is no an ideal communication system, but instead careful analysis of the requirements stated by the end
users in order to create “the ideal system” for those particular setups. Based on this concept, it is clear that one
single technology cannot solve all types of communication issues.
Fitre develops solutions based on several technologies – analog, digital and analog/digital – thus guaranteeing:
v open, modular and flexible solutions based on international standards, avoiding proprietary solutions;
v choice of the most suitable technology depending on working conditions and/or existing systems.
Fitre was founded in 1943, at the halfway mark in the history of telephone technology

Fitre Communication Systems
There are many different kinds of communications in every sector linked to the met-
hods used by the personnel, as well as to more specific safety requirements.
The elements used in these environments are mainly “Terminals", “Speakers” and
“Control Units”. The system is made out of a group of elements managing the met-
hods each company uses, in order to guarantee its own personnel the possibility to
work in safety and with maximum efficiency.
Another element which is necessary for the creation of a “good system” is the careful
evaluation of the operating methods of each sector, as well as the particular working
conditions and/or system conditions within each single company.
Fitre acts as a partner for each of its clients, offering its experience and skills for anal-
ysis and resolution of every single problem.
Fitre can count on a wide range of solutions which have been developed over the ye-
ars and the bulk of its know-how in this sector.
The range of solutions offered by Fitre includes the following types of systems:
v Telephone systems with analog and digital VoIP office devices, waterproof and ex-
plosion-proof, complete with telephone accessories including, for example, acou-
stic/optic ringer relays, telephone hoods, etc.
v Systems for management of SOS emergency calls with specially designed water-
proof industrial handsfree phones in compliance with the safety standards gover-
ning applications for highways, railroads, public open areas, etc.
v P.A. Systems (Public Address System) with anti-Larsen device and alarms manage-
ment for automatic diffusion of alarm tones/messages in a single area, a group of
areas or in all loudspeaker areas.
v All-to-all intercom systems, which allow all users to freely select any other number
through the intercom control unit.
v Selective intercom systems with direct calling, allowing to call only certain users.
v Protection systems for telephone and data lines against transients and/or con-
nection problems “outside of the ground network”.
All of the emergency system components (control unit, devices, etc.) were developed
entirely in Fitre R&D Laboratories, which boast total know-how of mechanical, elec-
tronic and software development design.
All of the communication systems are based on telephone standards with analog and
digital (VoIP) technologies, thus giving the possibility of creating mixed architectures
(analog and VoIP).

Main applications of Fitre solutions
The systems offered by Fitre are widely used in all industrial market sectors that de-
mand flexibility and quality as priorities:
v Petrochemical plants
The system functions are closely linked to the type of PABX control unit, as well as to
the type of devices used.
Fitre has developed a series of VOX devices based on analog technology and equip-
ped with their own diagnostic system, to solve the operating needs of SOS emer-
gency systems.
Each device can be connected from a distance of approximately 2-3 km from the con-
trol unit and the devices do not require a local power supply, which is present only in
cases that require a call signal reinforcement.
The digital architecture is based on the Voice over IP system (Voice via Internet pro-
tocol), usually named VoIP, a technology that makes it possible to carry out a telep-
hone conversation by using an internet connection on a dedicated network that uses
IP protocol, as opposed to passing through the traditional telephone network
(PSTN).
This technology therefore allows the use of pre-existing network resources, permit-
ting a notable reduction of costs in both private and public facilities as well as a geo-
graphical distribution of the system elements.
special purpose
telecommunication 7
systems
The same network can be used both for vocal communications (telephone intercom
emergency communications) as well as for the transportation of TVCC images, thus
simplifying the installation procedure.
Each VoIP device is part of the IP network, and therefore is connected to its network
switch via a cable cat. 5 or 6 with a maximum length of 90 meters, which can be incre-
ased by using suitable media converters.
Each device requires power supply via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or from a local sour-
ce.
Different communication protocols can be used in VoIP technology. Fitre has selec-
ted SIP, since SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a protocol based on IP, defined by
RFC 3261 and used mainly for telephone applications on IP or VoIP.
Using SIP protocol it is possible to transfer various types of data (audio, video, text
messaging, etc.). In addition, SIP allows for modular or scaled architecture, or archi-
tecture that is able to grow with the number of service users. This potential has made
SIP the most diffused VoIP protocol in the communications market, leaping ahead of
many other protocols such as H.323 and MGCP.
In addition, by adopting SIP protocol it is possible to use various standard devices de-
signed to facilitate the use of VoIP by all kinds of users. Some examples of these devi-
ces are ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapters) or Gateways, which can convert the si-
gnals of a normal analog telephone into an IP data flow.
The advantages are above all evident in cases where the IP network is already well di-
stributed and used in the same area for other applications. In this way the user can
operate on a single network, with consequent savings in regards to installation and
maintenance. However, also in cases where the IP network must be created, an IP
network is advantageous, providing flexibility and the possibility to keep the critical
components in the system under constant control.
Last but not least, it also provides the advantage of easily connecting the system to
the outside world over the Internet and therefore to also perform the same usage,
configuration and control operations that are available locally from a great distance.
Fitre has developed a series of digital VoIP industrial telephones in waterproof case
with SIP protocol and equipped with PoE power supply as well as local power supply
at 12-56 Vdc voltage; all of which are suitable for hazardous areas.

ASTRO System Manager
ASTRO System Manager by Fitre: the system platform able to adequately match
the specificity and uniqueness of each request, either in terms of performance or in
terms of costs and benefits, integrating standard components with intrinsic effi-
ciency and performance characteristics.
In this way, also to guarantee the long-term continuity of the systems, Fitre has deve-
loped the concept of a modular platform to be composed with standard functional
units, both hardware and software, based on their constant technological updating.
So, the main features and advantages of ASTRO System Manager, common for all
the systems designed on it, can be summarized as follows below.
v Very competitive and cost effective system solution, using a fully digital Cli-
ent/Server architecture based on the latest VoIP technology with standard SIP and
multicast FastPA streaming protocols.
v Modular, scalable and high reliable system based on distributed master/slave and
master/master architecture with hierarchic managing.
v System diagnostics of all critical components, with relevant reporting through stan-
dard SNMP and web service protocols.
v Very high flexibility in terms of audio configuration and operation through a fully
configurable voice matrix.
v Integration with 'third party' systems (Fire & GAS, CCTV, Access Control, SCADA,
DCS, NMS, PLC, etc.) through SNMP, web server and I/O contacts.
v Audio recording of all conversations (with time, date and duration) stored in the
digital memory of ASTRO System Manager.
v Historical data base for system events logging (with time, date and duration).

Fitre's way of design
The designing approach of Fitre is a mix of simplicity and technology.
In order to make possible the widest range of system typologies, while responding to
all the installation's requirements and to all the most evolving stringent standards,
our hardware & software laboratories had worked out the Fitre's way to effectively
solve the received systems requests.
Everything based on the idea that splitting the system into single easy to solve
matters allows to have the best answer to the whole system.
This concept reveals also another important peculiarity, inherent on the constant
updating of the components and consequently of the related blocks, that makes the
single building block to be ever the state-of-the-art of that specific system function,
taking advantage of the full interchangeability of the components within a complete
range of products, to comply the constraints of the installation environment.
Therefore, it is shown on the next pages some of the elements of this concept:
v Building Blocks
v Types of Components used
v Systems examples
Building Blocks
In order to guarantee software and hardware maintenance, Fitre has developed the
concept of a modular platform to be used with standard “building blocks”, functional
hardware units and specific software for the management of the various
communication functions: Intercom, Public Address, PA/GA, Emergency,
Audio/Video Integration, Telephone Systems, Diagnostics, Maintenance,
Configuration and Interface with other systems.
By using the same elements, Fitre can guarantee constant technological updating of
the units used for the systems. Many other components types can be found in our
catalogues and Fitre also keeps an updated list of a wide range of tested components
made by “third parties”.
The main and more widespread systems types made through the use of this concept
are as follows:
v New IF2000 Public Address & Intercom System with Analog Intercom Station;
v Page & Talk System with VoIP Intercom Stations and Retematic™ Technology;
v ASTROLess Public Address & Intercom System with VoIP Intercom Stations;

"Always side by side with our Customer"
“Help our Customers solve their demands in the best possible way”.
The commitment and the mission of Fitre, and in particular of our “Systems Divi-
sion”, is to support the client Companies in all the project phases, from the analysis
of the required performances, with the identification of both the critical issues and
then the opportunities, to the determination of the project solutions with their esti-
mation, providing adequate and detailed description of the proposed solutions.
Our systems are usually factory pre-configured and tested. Upon request, our engi-
neers also provide a complete assistance during installation, programming and com-
missioning as well as the final testing of the installed systems, interacting with all the
teams involved. All the systems are provided with a detailed documentation.
In addition, we can provide training for users, also directly on-site, concerning the in-
stallation, the programming and the maintenance of the systems, even for different
operational levels.
Our support and assistance to the Customer is therefore always the highest possible,
ever providing the maximum effort in problem solving.
Our Assistance Service Department holds the same technical mastery of our design
departments, being able to determine the most appropriate fixing solution to the
needs of the user.
