This is to eliminate redundancies, they first and foremost help to cut costs in terms of investment and overheads.

The most efficient way to achieve this is to build Intercom systems on a modular basis that allows individual functional models to be added or replaced as needed. In addition to that, Intercom 2.0 provides open, programmable interfaces that allow individual functional models such as door control – and even entire third-party systems such as public address setups – to be ‘plugged into’ the basic Intercom system.
