Workshop – Warning and Notification Systems – Warning network Electronic sirens • Concentrate the high acoustic performance at one place • Cover a geographical territory unevenly – strong signal is in a siren • vicinity Enable to cover the endangered area by the warning signal in cost effective manners

Workshop – Warning and Notification Systems – Warning network Works in extreme heat & severe frosts

Workshop – Warning and Notification Systems – Communication • • • Modern warning systems usually have 2 communication channels for control of sirens – main & backup communication channels It is suitable, if at least 1 of them is radio channel working at the frequency assigned only for the warning system Our solutions have independent radio communication infrastructure which is optimized for activation speed of large warning systems Activation speed is measured in seconds, even for the large WNS – in the nuclear power station Jaslovské Bohunice, 350 sirens are activated in aprox. 20 seconds The confirmation of sirens´ activation is measured in minutes – from 350 sirens we can obtain this information within aprox. 2 minutes Other communication channels can be used for control – RDS, GPRS, TCP/IP, POCSAG, satelite. . .

EWANS – communication in many ways Radio, RDS, POCSAG, GPRS, TCP/IP, satellite, . . . 1 Radio 2 RDS 3 GSM/GPRS 4 Satellite 5 TCP/IP, PSTN 6 Wi. Fi, X-bee
