SmartNet has won the Security or Fire Solution of the Year category at the prestigious Security & Fire Excellence Awards
Now in its 25th year, the Security & Fire Excellence Awards aim to highlight the best people, projects and processes that the security and fire sectors have to offer. The ceremony took place on Monday 2nd December at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London, and brought together companies across the security and fire sectors, recognising, celebrating and rewarding excellence.
Stephen Marsh, Head of Sales at Cygnus, comments, “We are thrilled to win the Security or Fire Solution of the Year award at this year’s Security & Fire Excellence Awards. SmartNet is a ground-breaking fire detection and alarm system and the world’s first EN 54 certified and 100% wireless solution. This accolade reflects our commitment to ongoing innovation and advancing safety standards across the industry. It is an honour to receive this recognition from such a respected, industry-leading award scheme.”
The award-winning SmartNet fire detection and alarm system
SmartNet is 100% wireless, EN 54 certified and a BS5839-1 compliant solution; 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 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 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. Furthermore, the Cygnus Mesh Analyser aids the commissioning process of fire safety systems, shows the device history and provides suggestions of how to strengthen the network.
