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 utilizing innovative channel hopping technology, delivering a reliable and robust solution.
SmartNet-Pro, SmartNet-100
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 for over 2500 devices.
SmartNet-100 provides all the key benefits of SmartNet-Pro in a more cost-effective solution
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, 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.
Cygnus ALERT notification and monitoring platform

Furthermore, the Cygnus Mesh Analyser aids the commissioning process of fire safety systems, shows the device history, and provides suggestions on how to strengthen the network.
