We’re excited to announce that our world first EN 54 certified and 100% wireless SmartNet fire detection and alarm system has been shortlisted for the Fire & Security Matters (FSM) Awards 2025 in the highly coveted category of Fire Innovation of the Year. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our mission, Wireless Everywhere - to make wireless fire alarms work – Everywhere.
A Night to Remember
The FSM Awards 2025 will take place on the 5th June in Coventry. This prestigious event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and professionals to celebrate the most outstanding achievements in the field of fire safety. Being a finalist is an incredible honour for us, and we are eagerly looking forward to the awards night.
About SmartNet
SmartNet is EN 54 certified and a BS5839-1 compliant system, up to twenty times faster to install than wired systems, with minimal disruption. This significantly reduces 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 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, with networking of up to 5 panels available via a software release code. 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.
We also have our range of Cygnus Accessories, 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 and 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 allows installers to deploy three bespoke detectors that replicate the mesh network to ensure the suitability of the system for the environment. It streamlines the planning and deployment of SmartNet fire detection and alarm systems.
A Big Thank You
We want to say our thanks to the FSM Awards committee for recognising Cygnus SmartNet as a finalist for this award. A heartfelt thank you also goes to our dedicated team here at Cygnus – their passion and commitment to excellence are driving forces behind this shortlisting.
As the awards night approaches, we’ll be keeping you updated with our journey. We’re excited to share this experience with you and look forward to the possibility of celebrating with all of you soon!
