Wireless Fire Detection: Monitoring Provides Extra Measure of Protection for Schools

Saves money too.

According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), fires and explosions cost businesses and schools more than $2.3 billion in property damage and dozens of deaths and injuries each year. In the case of fire, minutes matter – not just to people, but to property loss and damage.

Wireless technology has transformed the telecom industry. The analog phone lines of decades past are unreliable and the cost to maintain them is rising rapidly. Many schools are turning to using wireless communicators for their fire alarms as a cost-saving solution when installing a new system or upgrading their current fire alarm system.
