Our journey began with the original Cygnus radio evacuation systems for construction sites, renowned for their exceptional range, reliability, and performance. Having achieved market leadership in this sphere, we turned our attention to applying the same base technology to the permanent fire alarm market. Our solutions combine innovation, trusted performance, and dedicated technical support to make complex installations simple and reliable.
Pioneering true wireless
for large and complex installations.
From the outset, our goal was clear: to unlock the true potential of wireless to provide a new era of fire alarms for large and complex projects - turning complexity into simplicity.
To achieve this, we developed MeshBeyond™ technology, a proprietary protocol that removes the need for hard-wired translators and expanders. This breakthrough enables 500+ devices per panel and 2500+ devices per network, delivering scale and stability that rivals traditional wired systems.
Years of dedicated research and development have gone into creating a system installers can trust. Following a soft launch in 2021, we refined hardware and firmware based on real-world performance, resulting in a market-optimised solution that sets a new benchmark for wireless fire alarms.
Simplifying complex fire alarm installations.
Our mission is to enable rapid deployment of comprehensive fire alarms in even the most challenging of buildings. With MeshBeyond™ technology at the core, we design and manufacture cutting-edge fire detection and alarm systems that ensure easy installation, robust safety, and full compliance.
By collaborating with clients and combining advanced innovation with user-friendly design and expert technical support, we create adaptable solutions that meet the evolving challenges of tomorrow's environments.
