When it comes to critical operations like fire emergency services, every second counts. That is why achieving a shorter transfer time between 911 operators and the targeted fire station is crucial. Our system reduces the processing time to about 40 seconds, allowing your firefighters to be dispatched more efficiently. This is achieved by reducing the number of manual operations the 911 dispatcher has to perform. A more automated process means less time lost and less chance of errors.
Your Solution for Automated Dispatch Announcements and Fire Station Domotics
Why do you need a dispatch automation and domotics system for your critical communications?
The Davicom system does not only help you reduce response times, but it also improves the quality of life of your firefighters. By announcing dispatches through audio instead of visuals, it allows all firefighters to pursue other activities and rest. No need to have someone continuously checking a dispatch screen. The automated audio dispatch announcements and optional light signals can wake up firefighters when required.

Learn More About TARGA AIR
TARGA AIR is a mission-critical notification and dispatch automation platform developed by Komutel (a Versaterm company). It is specifically designed to connect with 911 dispatch centers and streamline emergency communication workflows for fire departments, public safety agencies, and municipal services.
TARGA AIR acts as a bridge between Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems and field personnel, enabling real-time alerts, resource tracking, and station automation through a robust suite of software tools and mobile interfaces.
TARGA AIR Key Features
Detailed Reporting & Analytics
TARGA AIR offers comprehensive reporting tools that track every aspect of emergency alerting: message delivery, user responses, read rates, and average response times. Reports are available in tabular or visual formats, and cover event history, availability, shift coverage, and replacements. All data can be exported (PDF, Excel, Word) or emailed, making it easy to analyze performance, ensure staffing compliance, and support audits or incident reviews.
Clear Text-to-Speech Voice Alerts
TARGA AIR features high-quality, intelligible text-to-speech (TTS) that transforms 911 dispatch data into clear voice alerts. These natural-sounding audio messages are automatically generated and played over station PA systems and radios, ensuring responders quickly understand the nature, time, and location of the call, even in noisy environments.
Real-Time Resource Status
During an event, TARGA AIR displays the status of each communication. If the message has not been delivered to your team member’s terminal, TARGA AIR will let you know. Knowing that the message has been delivered, stakeholders can evaluate the situation and make decisions accordingly.
Smartphone-Ready Alerts
TARGA AIR delivers instant alerts through SMS, email, and hybrid web links, giving responders full access to dispatch details and response options on any smartphone, no app required. Users can view alerts, respond with one tap, manage availability, and access schedules directly from their mobile device, with support for custom ringtones and shortcuts for faster response.

Learn More About the Core Unit
The Davicom CORTEX 320 is a rugged, modular automation controller designed to serve as the critical on-site hardware in modern fire station alerting and control systems. Paired seamlessly with TARGA AIR software, the Davicom CORTEX 320 transforms emergency dispatch data into immediate, tangible station actions, helping fire departments respond more quickly, safely, and efficiently.
Vocal Annunciation System
- Receives pre-formatted .WAV files (generated by TARGA AIR) over FTP, and plays clear, station-specific voice alerts via the PA system.
- Dual-play mechanism: first across PA and P25 radios, second exclusively on PA to free radio traffic for emergency comms.
Electrical & Domotic Control
- Performs up to five actions.
- Activates relays to turn off non-essential appliances (e.g., oven or stove breakers), switch on emergency lights, open bay doors, activate ventilation systems, etc.
- Relay latch times and triggers are easily configurable via software.
Redundant, Localized Operation
- Each fire station receives its own Davicom CORTEX unit, ensuring decentralized reliability even in distributed deployments.
- Operates independently once triggered, removing reliance on continuous cloud connection.
Learn More About Expansions & Remote Control
The AXON and NEURO units extend the capabilities of the Davicom CORTEX 320 system to up to 256 actions by offering modular expansion of input/output interfaces and custom logic execution. Designed for mission-critical applications, these units add flexibility, redundancy, and scale to fire station automation and alerting workflows. AXONs can also be used to remotely monitor or perform actions by communicating through IP when direct wiring to the Davicom CORTEX 320 is not possible.
