Geronimo is a personification of all the qualities expected of a heavy duty environmental telephone, together with innate intelligence and a stylish flamboyance that ensures Geronimo can be located in a variety of internal or external locations.
Combining both telephony and security, Geronimo is unique in its ability to provide solutions across a wide spectrum of industries.

Analogue
Geronimo Analogue is the perfect choice for installation where there is already an existing phone system. The analogue connection is designed for hard wired connection to the public switched telephone network, or a compatible analogue extension of a private branch exchange (telephone system).

GSM
By using a solar powered battery and mobile calling technology, Geronimo GSM can be used absolutely anywhere, so is ideal for sites where it might be difficult or expensive to provide conventional cabling, or where you want to avoid line rental charges by using a pay as you go SIM.

SIP
Geronimo SIP will connect to your existing LAN (Local Area Network).
It can connect to a standard Ethernet port. This avoids expensive telephone line installation and monthly line rental charges, which can run to hundreds of pounds a year. When programmed for connection to an Internet Telephony Service Provider, Geronimo can utilise VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) for completely FREE telephone calling over the internet.

Robust, Durable and Flexible
The strength of Geronimo is identified in it's component parts. The handset is produced from impact resistant, glass reinforced engineering plastic and an armoured connecting cable with anti burst windings, provides a 120Kg strain resistance. Marine quality chrome is used on the cabinet, hook switch and cradle and it is almost impossible to remove or damage the die cast keys, which are finished with etch and fill legends ensuring prolonged use.

Strength
Geronimo has overall ingress protection rating of IP55 with many of it's component parts rated even higher.
When housed in the bespoke enclosure, Geronimo has a rating of IP66, so you know its ready to withstand all conditions.
Geronimo's PCB is conformably coated and then selected into a plastic enclosure with an 11mm gap in the chassis to allow for water regress. In the unlikely event that a unit is damaged or faulty, the replacement parts can be easily fitted without removing the cabinet from the wall.
The internal components are built onto a steel chassis that simply slides out and can be replaced by anyone, removing the need for expensive engineers.

Alarm Input/Output
By using the alarm input, Geronimo can be set to alert the management platform, when a predefined event takes place. This could be anything from someone entering the room, pressing a panic button or even a preset measurement level being reached (like temperature or humidity). When the management system receives an alarm call, it can send an email or an SMS message to the service operator, with the details of the alarm report.
Geronimo also has an alarm output which can be used to trigger an external device. This could be as simple as a klaxon sounder or a light beacon.

Built-in Camera
The Geronimo Analogue and SIP versions are available with a high quality built-in IP camera, which can operate in very low lighting conditions. This can be set up to capture images as frequently as every 5 seconds, or it can be triggered by motion sensor to monitor events. The camera will allow you to remotely view events via a web browser, from anywhere in the world. This allows you to keep abreast of what is going on at any time. Images or video can be directed to a named recipient or security provider.

Programming
Geronimo can be programmed to suit all situations and environments. The installer can control exactly how Geronimo operates, from single number dialling (which will automatically dial when the user lifts the receiver) to a full keypad, with or without call barring. When using a full keypad, service operators can use call barring to restrict usage to a range of numbers. For example; you could allow users to call hotel room or office extension numbers, but block them from the public telephone network. If desired, Geronimo can also run completely unrestricted. There is the option to use up four autodial buttons, either on their own or in conjunction with the full keypad. Geronimo can store up to three supervisor numbers, which are PIN protected. When a trusted user enters the correct PIN, and then presses 1,2, or 3, the corresponding stored number will be automatically dialled. This could be useful for users to notify the service manager of having reached a particular area. All the programming capabilities of Geronimo, are managed and controlled from the remote management platform. The programming capability cannot be accessed by vandals or mischief makers.

Remote Management
The remote management platform acts to monitor the usage and the working status of each unit.
Geronimo can generate regular remote reports to the management system and inform the service operator that it is in good working order, connected to its working telephone line and is available for use. For remote sites this is an invaluable way of making sure that Geronimo will be available, when needed, for making that vital emergency call. In the unlikely event that Geronimo is damaged, it will immediately report to the service operator, allowing them to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. Geronimo can report to the management platform to confirm its location and operational status and will send an
immediate report in the event of vandalism or fault. Several of the external accessories (like the IP66 enclosure or the solar panel for Geronimo GSM) are also able to trigger events in the case of an emergency. This innovative monitoring system can save thousands of pounds in man hours, where an engineer would normally be sent to check the working order of a standard telephone. If a telephone number needs to be changed there is no need for an expensive and time consuming on-site visit by an engineer, as any of the programmed numbers or call barring parameters can be changed and updated during a regular reporting call.

Prison Phones
Both Geronimo and Bison phones provide fit for purpose solutions for Phones for use in Prisons and other correctional and secure institutions. Designed to maximise service life and system availability:

• Status and Fault Reporting
  Alarms and reports can be initiated by the phones to advise of vandalism, I'm OK verification and service faults

• LCD Display Option
  Allows system generated instructions and credit balances to be displayed. The display is ideally positioned to optimise visibility and minimise damage

• Card Readers
  Optical and magnetic swipe card readers can be fitted to the side of the phones e.g. for account number entry. The display is ideally positioned to optimise visibility and minimise damage

• Analogue or SIP Connectivity permits use of standard or Cat5 cabling
