Core Principles Behind Commend Evergreen Technology

Unrivalled Backward Compatibility & Migration Capability

With our products, you can rely on unmatched backward compatibility. This means that legacy devices are compatible with the latest system generations. The Commend IP Converter allows even analogue devices from the 1980s to connect seamlessly to our cutting-edge VirtuoSIS server – and even take advantage of latest Commend cloud services.

Commend also offers you all the benefits of easy, step-by-step system upgrades at any time to suit your current needs. Thanks to a variety of connection technologies, existing Commend systems can be gradually upgraded to latest-generation IP-based products and even the existing wiring can be reused via Commend IP Bridge adapters. This avoids the enormous costs of upgrading to Ethernet wiring.

Commend’s backward compatibility and migration capability ensures sustainably low costs for hardware replacements and keeps your budget economically low throughout your system’s operating life.

Regular Software Updates

Commend devices can take advantage of new features through software updates without the need to replace expensive hardware. Regular updates also ensure cyber-secure connections.

Cyber-security is an essential ingredient of Commend’s software development processes. It helps to protect your data and systems from malignant activity such as cyber-attacks, and from the resulting costs. Working in accordance with principle of “Privacy and Security by Design”, our R&D engineers follow security best practices such as encryption through Internet protocols and cryptography to fortify our products against potential threats.

What’s more, regular security audits and external penetration tests (“pen tests”) help to identify vulnerabilities and enable timely code ‘hardening’. This means our products are built from the ground up with cyber-security inside instead of having it added on. You can rely on that!

Sustainable Product Design

Commend also places great emphasis on durability in product design. Our efforts to deliver on this ambition includes a careful selection of high-quality, robust components capable of withstanding extremely high and low temperatures as well as energy-efficient electronics. We also design our products for excellent repairability, and we use recyclable materials wherever possible to avoid electronic waste.

Talking about sustainability: Not only does it play an essential role in Commend’s products and solutions, but we are also ISO 14001 certified as a company. This international standard requires an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to strict criteria and supports us in the continuous improvement of our environmental performance.

This way, Evergreen Technology keeps adding value throughout a Commend product’s entire lifecycle. That’s because communication without age restrictions will help you save costs without ever losing out on its benefits.

Trust in the evergreen of sustainable communication: solutions by Commend that are built to last – safe and secure – for many (product) generations to come!

ANALOGUE ERA – The Journey of an EE511

ANALOGUE ERA – The Journey of an EE511

The iconic EE 511 analogue intercom station in a colour combination that reflects the spirit of the times: chocolate and vanilla. Evergreen Technology explained with this Intercom station from the 80s. Future Ready?           

DIGITAL ERA – Connected with the World

DIGITAL ERA – Connected with the World

The GE 700 Intercom server marked the beginning of the digital age. In addition to digital Intercom stations, it was possible for the first time in the world to network Intercom servers and locations with each other – first digitally and then via IP. The EE 511 could continue to be used and connected directly. Ready for the future?

IP ERA – Video Intercom 

IP ERA – Video Intercom 

The next big step was video calls via Intercom with the introduction of the GE 800, the first IP-Intercom server, and the intercom station series WS. Beside the digital stations, the analogue EE 511 could still be connected directly to the server and continue to be used. Ready for the future?

VIRTUALISATION ERA – IP only?

VIRTUALISATION ERA – IP only?

Commend presented VirtuoSIS, the world's first Software Intercom Server for virtualised IT environments. IP converters were developed for digital and analogue Intercom stations so that these could continue to be used with the pure IP infrastructure.  The EE 511 was still on board. Ready for the future?

CLOUD ERA – Calls to Smartphones

CLOUD ERA – Calls to Smartphones 

Once again, Commend was the first company to launch Symphony Cloud, the world's first intercom cloud platform with "Privacy and Security by Design". Software and hardware servers with VirtuoSIS can be connected to the cloud via the Symphony Bridge. This means that the EE 511 from the 80s could talk to a smartphone of the latest generation. This is Evergreen Technology by Commend – quite unique, we think.
