The UK’s fire and rescue services attended around 156,000 fires in the year to June 2020, while there were 356,000 reported burglaries in the year to March 2020. When you consider the risk to lives and livelihoods that incidents such as these represent, the need for reliable and robust alarm signalling solutions is clear.
That’s why we’ve made sure that you can rely on us in an emergency. Our Next Generation portfolio has been built around reliable, superfast connectivity, with 4G mobile and IP (Wi-Fi and ethernet) ensuring solutions always deliver alarm signal to ARCs when systems are triggered.
We have strengthened alarm response even further by ensuring our product suite is fully ECHO-ready. Standing for Electronic Call Handling Operations, ECHO is revolutionising how ARCs interact with blue light services. Calls conducted in the traditional manual way lead to miscommunication and delay to incident response. But ECHO digitises the process, providing emergency services with the exact accurate information they need in under 10 seconds, empowering them to react without delay.
Future-proofed performance
4G and IP connections means our Next Generation Portfolio is completely future-proofed against the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off which is taking place across the country and will be completed come December 2025. There are already several hundred Openreach stop sells announced meaning support and new requests for copper-based services are already beginning to cease in certain areas.
For end-users and installers that depend on legacy PSTN-reliant solutions, now is the time to transition to all-IP alternatives to ensure the continued protection of premises and, vitally, the people and content within them.
We’ve also taken steps to ensure catering for the all-IP transition is straightforward for installers. Our products are easy to install, working straight-out of the box and compatible with a variety of existing alarm panels, with push-button programming and easy-to-read OLED displays making configuration simple. Our website is a hub of training videos, installation guides, brochures with joint branding available, and we can even assist you on the job, via our SightCall app.
What’s imperative is a trusted supplier providing the resources and support to save installers time and effort. And with the portfolio achieving third party certification, through the world-renowned LPCB, you can recommend and install our Next Generation portfolio with confidence.
