EPIC™ RI Wireless Communication System

Scott Health & Safety’s EPIC (Enhanced Performance Integrated Communications) wireless communications system is a revolutionary communications system utilizing Bluetooth® technology to enable Scott respirator users to communicate effectively both locally and to remote locations through the system’s facepiece-mounted voice amplifier/radio interface and a separate communications console attached to the user’s two-way radio. the EPIC system allows communications in three modes including, voice amplification for person-to-person communications, remote communications to a location outside of a scene by means of a two-way radio, and non-emergency two-way radio communications. the two components may be used together as a system or independently.

The EPIC system provides for simple, user-friendly communications in any of three different modes:

• Voice amplification for clear person-to-person, hands-free communications to other nearby emergency workers.
• User communications to and from remote sites by means of a two-way radio when the user is wearing full bunker gear and breathing apparatus.
• Two-way radio communications in non-tactical, non-emergency environments by using the system’s communications console capability.
