Next Generation Alarm (NGA) Development Project

目前，度假公园所有者还没有解决方案来允许他们与其资产(即大篷车度假屋、住宅公园住宅和公园建筑，如酒吧、游泳池等)内的系统进行通信、监视和控制。当前的系统(如警报单元)是单向的(即，它们只发出信号)，问题是系统不能确认其发送的信号已被接收到，因此它发送多个无线电消息以增加位于假日公园的中央单元接收的概率，而不会出现错误或损坏。因此，目前的系统不允许双向通信，因此不允许监视和控制公园资产中的设备。这一限制不允许有效使用设备来监视和控制公用事业、占用情况等。因此，对于公园所有者来说，这会导致过度的能源消耗(设备不必要地开着)，构成安全/安保威胁，并需要过度的人工维护干预。建议的解决方案将使用无线电节点网络来实现大篷车和家庭中的设备与公园中的中央系统之间的无线双向通信。这个网络最初将被用来控制供暖电力的使用，提供监控防盗警报选项，并提供一个平台，以实现未来增强的功能监测和控制能力。解决方案将为英国和欧洲开发。仅在英国，就有超过2,000个获得许可的度假/旅游公园，其中有30.5万个静态大篷车度假屋和111,000个住宅公园住宅。Ramtech目前在英国所有主要的公园运营着警报网络。仅在英国的目标市场估计就相当于10,200台。目前，拟议的解决方案不存在竞争。未来的应用将在社会住房网络、大学校园、写字楼中得到应用。

Currently there is no solution available to holiday park owners which allows them tocommunicate with, monitor and control systems within their assets (i.e. caravan holidayhomes, residential park homes and park buildings such as bars, swimming pools etc.).Current systems (such as alarm units) are uni-directional, (i.e. they only send a signal out)with the issue being that the system cannot confirm that the signal it has sent has beenreceived, it therefore sends multiple radio messages to increase the probability that one will bereceived, without error or corruption, by a central unit located on the holiday park. Currentsystems are therefore ‘dumb’ in that they do not allow two way communications and hence donot allow monitoring and control of devices in park assets.This limitation does not allow the effective use of devices to monitor and control utilities,occupancy etc. For park owners this therefore results in excessive energy usage (appliancesleft on unnecessarily), poses a safety/security threat and requires excessive manualmaintenance intervention.The solution proposed will use a network of radio nodes to enable wireless bi-directionalcommunication between devices in caravans and homes and a central system located on thepark. This network will be utilised initially to control heating power usage and provide amonitored burglar alarm option and to provide a platform to enable future enhancedfunctional monitoring and control capability.The solution will be developed for the UK and Europe. In the UK alone there are over 2,000licensed holiday/touring parks, with 305,000 static caravan holiday homes and 111,000residential park homes. Ramtech currently operates alarm networks in all the major UK parksites. The target market in the UK alone equates to an estimated 10,200 units. There iscurrently no competition to the proposed solution. Future application is envisaged in socialhousing networks, university campuses, office buildings.
