Fire safety is a top priority for all business/property owners as part of stringent H&Sregulations & legislation. Following the 2005 Fire Safety Regulatory Reform & ConstructionProduct Regulations 2011, demand for advanced fire protection systems (FPS) that complywith EN54 standards has risen, resulting in a global FPS market projected to reach $79.18bnby 2020.The majority of fire alarm systems for large buildings are wired, requiring extensive cablingbetween the control panel & fire detection devices. Installation is complex & expensive &systems are inflexible. Due to tech advancements, innovations within the communicationsindustry & the gov. drive towards smart buildings; wireless fire alarm systems are beginningto compete; however major tech limitations are preventing widespread adoption & consumerconfidence e.g. systems are energy intensive with high power consumption thus they usepower boosters in order to meet required standards, resulting in inflexible ‘hybrid’ solutions.They are restricted in connection range creating transmission issues between detection devices& Control Panel & have lack of remote monitoring capability meaning frequent checks &maintenance.As an existing manufacturer & supplier of fire safety equipment to the construction sector &in response to demand from existing customers, Bull Products Ltd (BPL) seek to develop avalidated ‘works-like’ ‘looks-like’ prototype (to meet EN54) of a truly wireless, ultra-lowpower fire alarm system, with additional security capability, that overcomes the majorlimitations of existing systems. Innovative communications tech will allow significantlyimproved range, reliability, flexibility & overcome power restrictions (no need for boosters)& will include a novel & patented intruder alarm to provide a security aspect. BPL willinitially target large buildings within construction, housing associations & retail through astrong existing customer base. Market entry expected mid-2017.

作为严格的健康与安全法规和立法的一部分，消防安全是所有企业/业主的首要任务。继 2005 年消防安全监管改革和 2011 年建筑产品法规之后，对符合 EN54 标准的先进消防系统 (FPS) 的需求不断增加，预计到 2020 年全球 FPS 市场将达到 791.8 亿美元。大型建筑的大多数火灾报警系统都是有线的，需要在控制面板和火灾探测设备之间进行广泛的布线。安装复杂且昂贵且系统不灵活。由于技术进步，通信行业和政府内部的创新。推动智能建筑；无线火灾报警系统开始竞争；然而，主要的技术限制阻碍了广泛采用和消费者信心，例如系统是能源密集型的，功耗高，因此它们使用功率放大器来满足所需的标准，从而导致“混合”解决方案不灵活。它们的连接范围受到限制，导致检测设备和控制面板之间产生传输问题，并且缺乏远程监控能力，这意味着需要频繁检查和维护。作为建筑领域消防安全设备的现有制造商和供应商，为了响应现有客户的需求，Bull Products Ltd (BPL) 寻求开发 经过验证的真正无线、超低功耗火灾报警系统的“工作相似”“外观相似”原型（满足 EN54 要求），具有额外的安全功能，克服了现有系统的主要限制。创新的通信技术将显着提高范围、可靠性、灵活性并克服功率限制（无需增强器），并将包括新颖的专利入侵警报以提供安全保障。 BPL 最初将通过强大的现有客户群瞄准建筑、住房协会和零售领域的大型建筑。预计 2017 年中期进入市场。
