What is the difference between AES-IntelliNet and conventional radio technology?

Other private radio systems rely on repeater/tower technology to operate. This creates additional cost to the system operator for ongoing lease and maintenance contracts. Also, towers and repeaters have the potential for single point / single path failure: if a tower goes down, many subscribers will be out of service. In contrast, AES-IntelliNet provides multiple paths and each subscriber unit can adapt to changes in the system.

What are the guidelines for proper fire extinguisher maintenance?

To ensure that the fire extinguisher works in the event of a fire, you should follow these guidelines:

 

• First and foremost, make sure the fire extinguisher is in a location that makes it readily accessible.
• Ensure that the fire extinguisher is set up properly for easy handling, and that nothing is obstructing access to any parts of it, including the hose.
• Be certain that the fire extinguisher is adequately charged at all times, and ready for use. Regularly check the pressure dial to see if it needs to be charged.
• Verify that the pull pin is properly secured within the handle and held in place by the tamper seal.
• Examine the fire extinguisher for any cracks, dents, or rust on its shaft which might hinder its performance.
• Check that there is a visible instruction label on the fire extinguisher, and that it is legible in case of emergency.
• Make sure that no modifications were made to the fire extinguisher that might affect its performance level.

 

What is the difference between AES-IntelliNet and cellular/control channel technology?

1. There are no recurring fees in the operator owned AES-IntelliNet system.
2. The AES-IntelliNet system owner controls the system. There is no waiting for a cellular or radio provider to get coverage in a targeted area. Further, company and customer data are not divulged to any third parties.
3. AES-IntelliNet is listed for use for UL-AA burglary and NFPA 72 compliant for fire alarm monitoring.
4. Radio signals are conveyed through the AES-IntelliNet system in a matter of a few seconds. Signals sent through the cellular-based channel and telephone lines take substantially longer.
