J&R Emergency Telephones Deployed at Velana International Airport, Maldives, to Enhance Emergency Communication
Velana International Airport is the largest international airport in the Maldives and a key gateway for international visitors arriving in the country. With high passenger traffic and diverse service needs, the airport requires reliable communication to support passenger assistance, incident response, and coordination among airport personnel.
In public areas, delays in contacting airport management or service staff can affect the efficiency of emergency response. Reliable and accessible emergency communication facilities are therefore essential to help passengers and staff request assistance promptly and support the airport’s daily operations and safety management.
Communication Solution
In July 2025, J&R’s JR101-CB-SIP outdoor emergency telephone was deployed at Velana International Airport in the Maldives, providing a convenient and reliable communication solution for public areas. Designed for demanding outdoor environments, the JR101-CB-SIP features a durable die-cast aluminum alloy housing with IP66/IP67 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance. Its robust construction helps protect the device against moisture, dust, and physical impact, making it suitable for long-term use in public and industrial environments. The telephone features a keypad-free hotline design with automatic dialing upon handset pickup, allowing users to establish contact without navigating complicated dialing procedures. When passengers or airport personnel need assistance, they can quickly reach designated airport management or service staff, helping streamline communication and improve response efficiency. The device also incorporates noise reduction technology to support clear voice communication and uses SIP-based network connectivity for integration with compatible communication systems. In addition, remote web management simplifies configuration and routine maintenance, supporting efficient communication system management.
