Wireless Fire Alarm System at a Scale Not Known Before
Beyond Waking Watch: A Fast, Reliable Solution
Cygnus technology is easily implemented into complex, occupied buildings. It is truly wireless, with zero wires beyond the panel using Cygnus MeshBeyond™ technology.
Implementing a Safe Transition from Waking Watch
Waking Watch is a recognised interim fire safety measure used where serious risk has been identified and automatic detection is not yet in place.
Trained personnel carry out continuous patrols of a building to identify signs of fire and raise the alarm, helping to protect life while longer-term measures are planned and implemented.
Waking Watch plays an important role where:
- There is serious and imminent fire risk
- Automatic detection is not yet installed
- Immediate interim protection is required
Waking Watch and Wireless Fire Detection
Waking Watch plays an important role as an interim fire safety measure. As projects progress, many buildings introduce wireless fire detection systems to support a planned and compliant transition to long-term protection.
Waking Watch
- Interim fire safety measure for occupied buildings
- Continuous patrols by trained personnel
- Provides early identification of fire risks
- Supports compliance while long-term solutions are implemented
Cygnus Wireless Detection
- Designed for long-term fire protection
- Automatic fire detection and alarm activation
- Continuous 24/7 system monitoring
- Rapid wireless installation with minimal disruption
Cygnus - Redefining Wireless Fire Alarms
Cygnus systems enable the rapid deployment of comprehensive fire alarm protection in even the most challenging and occupied buildings.
Unlike conventional wireless solutions, Cygnus systems are truly wireless, with zero wires beyond the panel using MeshBeyond technology.
- Up to 511 devices per panel
- 96 zones per panel
- Up to 5 panels networked
The Benefit of Change
For many buildings, remediation programmes can take years to complete. During this time, residents and building managers face ongoing service charges, prolonged uncertainty, and continued disruption to daily life.
Cygnus systems are often installed alongside, or shortly after, the implementation of Waking Watch, enabling a planned and coordinated transition to a more sustainable fire safety solution.
Why Cygnus is the Right Solution for Complex, Occupied Buildings
Cygnus Wireless Fire Alarm Systems are built differently, combining true wireless technology with unrivalled technical support to deliver confidence at every stage of deployment.
MeshBeyond™ Cygnus Proprietary Flooded-Mesh Technology
Unlike conventional wireless systems that rely on limited communication paths, MeshBeyond™ creates multiple, self-forming communication routes between devices, continuously monitors and adapts to its environment, and self-heals if a path is disrupted.
This ensures reliable coverage across large, complex buildings and allows Cygnus systems to operate at a scale and level of reliability that simpler wireless solutions struggle to achieve.
95/15 Dynamic Support
Cygnus systems are backed by 95/15 Dynamic Support, ensuring 95% of technical queries are resolved within 15 minutes, with direct access to experienced engineers.
- Support during design, installation and commissioning
- Remote diagnostics to keep projects moving
This level of support reduces installation risk, avoids delays, and gives installers and building owners confidence that help is available when it is needed.
This is particularly important when systems are deployed as part of a Waking Watch transition, where timing, reliability and confidence are critical.
