Gamewell Offers Its Extensive Voice Evacuation Product Line



NORTHFORD, Conn.- Gamewell, a manufacturer of commercial fire alarm control panels and emergency life safety systems, announces release of the industry's most state-of-the-art voice (audio) evacuation system product line.

Gamewell's fully digital and networkable audio evacuation systems are able to support up to six channels of digital audio, including line paging and two-way telephone communications, plus various control functions, all operating simultaneously on a single pair of wires or fiber optic cables.

This new technology allows Gamewell to provide an extensive portfolio of integrated fire safety solutions for low- to mid- rise buildings and general areas of assembly, in addition to digital audio solutions for high-rise and campus applications.

In addition, Gamewell's voice evacuation systems can be custom-configured for unique buildings and floor plans, or to meet local requirements for voice evacuation systems.

Gamewell's voice evacuation systems provide prerecorded messages and emergency paging during a life safety emergency to facilitate orderly evacuation. The system can also be used to alert building occupants of imminent severe weather events such as tornados.

Gamewell voice evacuation systems are offered in two alternatives - integrated solutions and audio expansion solutions. Integrated solutions are those that are integrated directly within the panel, while audio expansion solutions are in addendum to the panel.
