Cygnus, a leading developer and manufacturer of fully compliant and wireless fire detection and alarm systems, has opened the new Cygnus Academy – an in-person, high-specification training hub for installers seeking to learn about the company’s new SmartNet wireless fire detection and alarm system. Cygnus has a strong heritage with over 10 years of developing wireless technology, beginning with the launch of the original Cygnus radio evacuation systems for construction sites, which became renowned for its range and reliability.
Located at the company’s headquarters in Hereford, the Cygnus Academy provides a modern, fully equipped and comfortable environment where installers can complete the SmartNet one-day training course to become a Cygnus Certified Partner. The SmartNet course, combining both theoretical and practical training, provides detailed insights into the groundbreaking SmartNet technology and the skills required to carry out a successful installation. Areas covered in the first part of the course include an overview of SmartNet wireless technology, site and system configuration and SmartNet installation. The second part focuses on setting up the mobile app as well as diagnostics and fault finding. It will give installers an in-depth overview of Cygnus and SmartNet and allow them to design and fit a system correctly whilst offering the best services to their clients.
‘Reliable, robust and easy-to-install wireless fire detection and alarm systems are a huge growth opportunity for installers,’ comments Austen Wells, Sales Manager at Cygnus. ‘The Cygnus SmartNet system transforms that opportunity into a business reality, with a system that is quick and simple to install and can be scaled effectively from small to large installations.
