Cygnus creates ‘Wireless Everywhere’ CPD for fire alarm installers
13 January 2025
FIRE SAFETY systems developer Cygnus has created a new Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of fire alarm installers when it comes to wireless technology.

The informative CPD presentation has been created to meet the evolving needs of those installers, offering valuable insights in relation to the growth of wireless technology and precisely how it’s being implemented in fire detection and mesh networks.
Stephen Marsh, head of sales at Cygnus, informed Fire Safety Matters: “Our new CPD presentation provides an excellent opportunity for professionals to stay ahead in their field, develop their expertise and gain practical knowledge they can apply immediately to their work.”
Marsh continued: “At Cygnus, we understand that continual learning is crucial in today’s fast-paced business environment. Our goal is to support professionals in their ongoing career development and allow them to take advantage of the opportunities presented by wireless technology.”
Numerous issues
In terms of installing or otherwise modifying fire alarm systems, there can be numerous issues involved from tight time constraints through to the location of the installation and the environment in which it resides. Wireless technology can solve many of these issues.
The CPD presentation looks back at the development of wireless fire detection and alarm systems and assesses the current state of play, while also providing an understanding of mesh networks and the solutions they offer for installers.
Cygnus specialises in wireless fire alarm technology. The company began life with its original Cygnus radio evacuation systems for construction sites, which became renowned for its range, reliability and performance.
The EN 54-certified, 100% wireless fire detection and alarm system designated SmartNet offers a reliable, robust and adaptable solution. There’s no need for gateways, expanders or loop-powered translating devices, with the system featuring patented self-forming and self-healing wireless mesh technology.
Diverse project requirements
From the scalable SmartNet-Pro (ranging from a panel capability of 511 devices and up to 96 zones, with the ability to network up to five panels providing a combined solution of over 2,500 devices) to the versatile SmartNet-100 (enabling systems with up to 100 devices from one control panel, with the ability to network up to five panels via a software release code), Cygnus ensures fire detection and alarm systems that meet today’s diverse project requirements.
Underpinned by first-class technical and customer support, Cygnus is spearheading the deployment of wireless fire alarm technology by delivering viable and user-friendly options for every hard-wired application.
