Modern student lifestyle

Taktis Technology Platform

Such a prestigious development demands a fire safety system of the highest pedigree, performance and reliability, which is why specialists MRM Solutions opted for an open protocol system built around the sophisticated features of the new Taktis Technology Platform.
