Gamewell-FCI by Honeywell of Northford, Conn., has added advanced outdoor wide area emergency communications capabilities that integrate with its E3 Series fire alarm and emergency communications systems.
New networking and communications technologies from Acoustic Technology Inc. (ATI Systems) provide the systems the option to transmit messages through wide area outdoor systems via five different pathways, solving difficult applications where the common use of radio frequencies is not allowed. Access to multiple paths enables the set-up of an optional backup path for more redundant, reliable systems, according to the company.
In addition to live voice paging, the E3 Series can store and distribute through an ATI wide area system as many as 255 pre-recorded messages containing more than 100 hours of recording time.
