Following a successful partnership with Norwegian fire systems pioneer Holta & Håland Safety, Hyfire has announced the completion of a second groundbreaking project featuring its world-leading Taurus wireless fire devices at Randabergporten, a landmark office building in Randabergveien, Stavanger.
A total of 35 Hyfire wireless devices, connected to an Advanced MxPro fire panel, were installed in the commercial and industrial building, which was constructed from concrete in 2010, with concrete floor dividers. The system is now used not only for fire detection but also for the release of INERGEN gas extinguishant. If two wireless detectors are in alarm, the Hyfire wireless input/output modules will activate the solenoids on the gas bottles, and release INERGEN gas.
“We’re thrilled to showcase the capabilities of the Hyfire brand through this unique installation, which happens to be in our own building” said Torger Nordbø, Project Engineer at Holta & Håland Safety. “We completed a detailed site survey using Hyfire’s TauREX software to ensure optimal locations for detectors, translators, and expanders, resulting in a robust and reliable connection. The ease of installation and the system’s reporting features are a significant benefit for both us as installers and our end client.”
“The wireless system was integrated into the building for comprehensive testing and presentations, functioning as a full-scale demo and test facility, as well as a live and active fire system. Despite numerous changes and alarms due to its daily use, the system has proven its resilience and demonstrated flawless operation.”
Hyfire offers the widest range of commercial standard wireless fire devices on the market, ranging from optical, multi-criteria and heat detectors to EN54-23 Approved VAD’s, all fully certified to EN54. All products offer the highest performance and quality in the industry. Fire panels are wired via a loop to translators, from which wireless devices can be used on their own to build fully wireless systems of virtually any size, or mixed with Hyfire wired products to provide seamless hybrid solutions, offering total flexibility to specifiers and installers.

Karleif Holta, General Manager of Randabergporten, remarked: “The Hyfire system has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The convenience of wireless installation, the adaptability of the system to our building, and the safety it ensures for our tenants are second to none. We’re happy to be serving as a showcase for this technology and looking forward to witnessing the further impact of Hyfire devices in the Norwegian marketplace.”
Developed in Trieste, Italy, the global centre for wireless fire design, Taurus features Pathfinder Technology, which allows the devices to communicate over 1km, point to point in open air, and further where expansion hops are used. Antenna technology has been optimised to allow communication across different frequencies and environments, which means that Taurus can do the job with less equipment and less batteries, thus saving on costs.
Tom Crane, Hyfire International Director, shared: “We’re delighted with the positive feedback from our second project with Holta & Håland Safety. As more installers and end clients in Norway recognise the logistical and cost benefits of wireless fire technology, we anticipate seeing more Hyfire devices integrated into fire systems across the country.”
Hyfire was launched in 2007, bringing to market some of the first commercial wireless detection and alarm devices fully certified to EN54. Since then, the Hyfire brand has become synonymous with quality, reliability and innovation in the commercial fire sector. Hyfire devices come with a five-year warranty, backed up by a dedicated partner programme to ensure the best survey, installation, commissioning, after sales service and exceptional technical support.
