Cygnus is Shortlisted for a Security & Fire Excellence Award

  • 11th Nov 2024

As a leader in 100% wireless, EN 54 certified fire detection and alarm systems, we are delighted to have been shortlisted in the Fire Hardware or Software Manufacturer of the Year category at the upcoming Security & Fire Excellence Awards.

This recognition underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the fields of fire safety and security. Our team has worked tirelessly to create cutting-edge hardware and software solutions that redefine the standards in the industry. Being recognised as a finalist in the Fire Hardware or Software Manufacturer of the Year category affirms our dedication to advancing fire safety technology.

We’re smarter with SmartNet

SmartNet is EN 54 certified and BS5839-1 compliant, and up to twenty times faster to install than wired systems, with minimal disruption. The SmartNet network is built on a combination of radio devices, operating on a self-forming, self-healing wireless mesh network with multipath network redundancy utilising 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 the ability to network up to 5 panels, SmartNet-Pro provides a 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 the ability to network up to 5 panels 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.

To complement the Smart System, Cygnus has also developed the Cygnus ALERT notification and monitoring platform, a cloud-based solution to strengthen site safety, as well as the Cygnus Mesh Analyser, which is an enhanced diagnostic and maintenance tool, delivering a graphical display of mesh signal strengths and connection paths for each device in the system.

We are looking forward to the awards ceremony, Monday 2 December 2024 at JW Marriott Grosvenor House on Park Lane in London, and wish all finalist’s good luck!
