2 Dec 2015
One of Poland’s premier nursing and care establishments, Dom Seniora Willmanowa Pokusa in Krzeszow, is now being protected with an industry-leading Axis EN fire system from Advanced also running its AlarmCalm false alarm management software.

The Axis EN system includes a high performance device and module range, including a complete wireless solution.

Redundant Control for Complete Peace of Mind
Any loss of fire protection through equipment failure can have financial, technical and reputational consequences.
However, the problem is heightened in high-risk and complex sites, where any form of system downtime can severely compromise safety, contravene regulations and lead to major losses of money, time and confidence in the fire system.
In these settings, a redundant fire system is the only real option to achieve an acceptable level of protection and business continuity.
However, not all redundant systems are created equal, so it’s important to understand the levels of risk at stake and to choose and plan your redundant system accordingly.
