Industry features
SAFETY FIRST!
Fireground communication in high-rise buildings - Fire alarm initiating devices are almost always wired . And there is a reason for that... Resilience!
Fireground operations - Emergency light monitoring - Emergency evacuation guidance • Fire extinguisher monitoring
Present IoT technologies
What systems are already installed in the buildings? • What aspects make them suitable for operation during emergency?
Fire detection • Sound annunciation • Reporting to central monitoring station • All wired, dedicated external wiring
Auxiliary radio communication system (ARCS) • Required for all buildings to provide complete radio coverage • Provides coverage for first responders inside the building • Reports status to fire alarm panel
Auxiliary radio communication system • Active operation is extremely rare during the incident Infrastructure needs to be monitored and maintained for building's owner cost
Conclusions
Rapid city development • Demand for reliable lot networks • Fear of wireless technologies • Cost considerations
Using fire alarm grade physical infrastructure • Backup power • Edge processing • Local data offload
