Denis Castanet has been named Director of Product Management for RTS and Telex, replacing Ralph Strader, who retired in 2016.
Castanet moves from his prior role as a Director of Business Development in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) sales region with RTS/Telex parent company Bosch Security Systems. Previously, he spent ten years in telecom systems product management and has overseen cross-platform integrated security and communications systems for many large-scale projects.
‘As our aggressive program of IP-based product launches attests, we continue to be focus on providing forward-thinking integrated intercom systems to our customers, rather than just standalone hardware,’ he says. ‘We see open-platform solutions as an important way forward.
‘Our Omneo architecture for transport and control represents our commitment to providing the ultimate in flexibility and value for our users – it will evolve in step with new standards and technologies, making it truly future proof. Coupled with the user-friendliness offered by new models such as our Roameo wireless intercom system, which integrates seamlessly into existing RTS matrices, our users have the assurance of solid partnership, products, and ROI – today and tomorrow.
‘RTS is in a unique position as part of the Bosch Security Systems family, with a broad portfolio including pro audio solutions as well as intercom and security systems,’ he adds. ‘We look to leverage synergies not only between all our brands and products but also with those coming from third-party solution providers such as Audinate.
