EkoTek takes IFSEC by Storm
EkoTek is a unique NEW wireless solution, which uses the latest mesh technology to provide two-way communication between staff to improve emergency response through accurate location of alarm signals, designed to protect lone workers and employees.
EkoTek eliminates the need for complex radio surveys and is straightforward to deploy and expand in any environment with assured performance. The self-configuring system allows for the replacement or repair of components without requiring pre-programming or expensive cabling.
EkoTek’s innovative technology was showcased at the Security Industry’s biggest exhibition IFSEC that was held at the NEC in Birmingham 21 st – 24 th May.
Thousands of people visit the exhibition held in 6 huge halls across the fours days. For Multitone it was not only a chance to show off EkoTek but to test its system to the max. Being a mainly technology based exhibition there was a huge amount of WiFi on individual stands but this did not phase EkoTek’s technology.
On the Multitone stand was a live EkoTek demonstration set up to give accurate locating reporting within the mock up area. Messages and alerts were easily received between the Hub, Call Fobs and Two Way Pagers.
Visitors to the stand were impressed by the features and the amount of industries/ workplaces in which EkoTek could be applied for example; Healthcare, Industry, Retail and Local Councils.
Ron Wray, Technical Director comments IFSEC has been a fantastic opportunity to show visitors the many features of EkoTek and judging by the responses so far, EkoTek's future looks bright.
