SIGNALLING
CHANGES
DualCom GPRS is an alarm signalling
device that uses both the Vodafone network and an optional
telephone path to transmit fire alarm signals at high
speed. Once the alarm is confirmed as genuine, the appropriate
people are notified. Utlising two signalling paths ensures
that DualCom dual-signalling will always have a back-up
path in the event of an accidental or deliberate fault
on either path.
DUAL-SIGNALLING
Channel pioneered dual-signalling and has since led the
way in ensuring the latest technologies are used by keeping
up with modern telecommunication advances.
DualCom GPRS is the newest member of the tried and tested
DualCom family. GPRS is a high-speed technology used to
send and receive ‘packets' of data. Channel chose
Vodafone for the integrity of its performance in both
reliability and speed.
GPRS is charged as a fixed tarrif, meaning the device
can send and receive an unlimited amount of data at no
extra charge. In the unlikely event the GPRS signal fails,
a second GSM signal is sent. If required, a telephone
line can also be added. The use of this affordable new
technology allows Channel to bring dual-signalling to
a market previously using singlepath technology on a cost
basis. Dual-signalling, as favoured by insurance, fire
brigades and police, is the only way forward when it comes
to the protection of people and property.
DUALCOM GPRS
A dual-signalling device helps to distinguish genuine
from false alarms and can therefore prevent the response
time from dropping to a lower level or being withdrawn.
ADDITIONAL OPTION
With the addition of a LAN (Local Area Network) card,
DualCom GPRS can convert to an IP (Internet) based secondary
path. And, if you're not convinced that the internet is
the way forward for your business or you are simply not
ready, it can be plugged on at a later date whilst running
on the proven signalling paths of telephone line and GPRS
in the interim.
