SmartNet network

SmartNet is EN 54 certified and a BS5839-1 compliant system, 20 times faster to install than wired systems

SmartNet is EN 54 certified and a BS5839-1 compliant system, 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 utilizing channel hopping technology, delivering a reliable and robust solution.

Key benefits of SmartNet-Pro

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 five panels available via a software release code, providing a combined solution of over 2500 devices.

While 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.

Fire detection and alarm systems

The Cygnus team will also be on hand at the event to discuss the recently launched Cygnus ALERT, the perfect remote notification and monitoring complement to Cygnus’ world-first, EN 54 certified and 100% wireless 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.
