Wired for sound
Have you seen our new White Paper exploring the use of radio alarm devices in BS 8629 evacuation alert systems? As such systems are likely to be used only in a fire emergency when a stay put strategy is comprised, what impact will the heightened susceptibility of radio devices to interference and signal loss in a raging fire have on the integrity of the overall system?
