Poland - Located in the heart of Warsaw, the InterContinental Warszawa hotel provides an architectural landmark as one of the highest buildings in the city. It has 326 guest rooms and suites, and 75 residential suites, all of which fully equipped with the latest technology. In addition, there are three restaurants and two bars, and eleven banqueting rooms with room for 700 guests.

The hotel has installed the Bosch Praesideo Voice Alarm System. Most of the installation work was carried out by local reseller, ANB which has been operating in Poland since 1992. A spokesman for Bosch said: "IEC60849 certification and compliance with the even more stringent Polish regulations underscore Praesideo's high standards.

Praesideo demonstrates flexibility and user-friendliness in several ways. It allows the hotel to route messages to one or more zones, depending on the emergency situation, and it is also interconnected with the Shrack fire-detection system.

"The use of a local area network makes installation and configuration easy and scalable, and Praesideo's 'daisy-chain' architecture allows system elements to be connected anytime, and to virtually any point."
