SMC has announced the extension of its partnership with Permaconn to support the adoption of the quad-SIM, triple path fire and security communicator SecureLink across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
SecureLink is the first of Permaconn’s connectivity solutions to be released in the UK&I. Field testing, including in challenging connectivity “blackspots” such as the Scottish Borders and Cornwall, has demonstrated SecureLink’s ability to maintain strong connectivity where some other signalling solutions cannot and cellular phones are unable to receive signal.
SecureLink also brings flexibility to installers, with a single device that can be adjusted to any grade from SP2 LAN to DP4 Radio-Radio. Traditionally, grade changes require a site revisit and coordination between the installer, ARC and signalling provider, whereas SecureLink enables grade shifts to be implemented immediately by SMC.
Henri Newman, Director of SMC said: “We welcome the introduction of this new signalling product into the UK&I market. It is positive for the industry to see additional technologies and suppliers emerging, as healthy competition and innovation help us all evolve, strengthen our technology and services, and deliver better outcomes for customers.”
Andrew Pears, Group CEO of Permaconn, said: “We’re extremely grateful for SMC’s support as we bring SecureLink to installers across the UK & Ireland. Their input into the SecureLink R&D programme has been hugely impactful.”
