Cygnus Returns to FSM Live - Next Stop: Manchester

We will be exhibiting at FSM Live Manchester, 1 October 2025. Following a successful appearance at FSM Live Coventry earlier this year, we return to continue celebrating the two-year anniversary of SmartNet, the world’s first EN 54 certified and 100% wireless fire detection and alarm system, achieving EN 54 certification.

SmartNet is EN 54 certified and a BS5839-1 compliant system, up to twenty times faster to install than wired systems. Installation comes with minimal disruption to buildings and people, significantly reducing the downtime and disturbance to daily operations. The SmartNet network is built on a combination of radio devices, operating on a patented self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh network with multipath network redundancy utilising innovative channel hopping technology, delivering a reliable and robust solution.

SmartNet-Pro offers a scalable solution with the capability for each panel to connect 511 devices and up to 96 zones, with networking of up to 5 panels available via a software release code, providing a combined solution of over 2500 devices. Whilst SmartNet-Pro caters to the larger scales of application, SmartNet-100 provides all the key benefits of SmartNet-Pro in a more cost-effective solution, designed to support a maximum of 100 devices. Based on this nature, SmartNet-100 is best suited for small to medium sized applications where the scalability of the SmartNet-Pro is not required.

Denley adds: “We’re currently running our De-risked Trial Programme because we’re confident in SmartNet’s performance. It’s a no-risk way to experience the benefits for yourself - purchase your first system on a 90-day sale-or-return basis, receive a dedicated day’s free training for hassle-free installation, and enjoy full-time on-call technical support. And if you did ever hit problems, we’ll even contribute towards de-installation costs. Come and chat to us at the show to find out how you can take advantage of this opportunity.”

The Cygnus team will also be on hand at the event to talk through the Cygnus Accessories range, which includes:

• Cygnus ALERT, the perfect remote notification and monitoring complement to Cygnus’ SmartNet range of fire detection and alarm systems. Using Cygnus ALERT, installers and site administrators can receive event, fault or mesh information in real-time, enabling swift responses to on-site situations. Cygnus ALERT presents easy user management to view and notify across multiple sites, and a variety of environments.
• Cygnus Configuration Software Tool and Mesh Analyser simplifies system setup and provides complete system visibility, including radio communication paths, signal integrity, and diagnostics. Advanced cause and effect functionality can be set up through the configurator. It delivers a more efficient installation and commissioning process, ensuring installers and end-users have a robust and stable network from the outset.
• Portable Programming Unit (PPU) helps with the planning and deployment of the SmartNet system. The PPU allows installers to deliver firmware and configuration updates to devices wirelessly whilst they are on site, making the process faster and more efficient for areas that are hard to access.
• Site Survey kit streamlines the planning and deployment of SmartNet fire detection and alarm systems. It allows installers to deploy three bespoke detectors that replicate the mesh network to ensure the suitability of the system for the environment.
