The shows IFSEC and FIREX International are launching a first ARC Village this year at London’s ExCeL from June 21 to 23. UK alarm receiving centres will showcase their services.
The ARC Village is brought to the expos in association with CSL Dualcom, the connectivity provider specialising in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and a show exhibitor.
The alarm receiving centres EMCS, Southern Monitoring Service & Kings Security Ltd have already signed up. The Village will comprise of eight exhibition booths surrounding a central networking area featuring refreshments and seating for conversations. The Village is in the Installer Zone, next to the Fire & Security Jobs Bar and a new in-hall bistro, to provides hot food.
IFSEC and FIREX event director Gerry Dunphy says: “We’re delighted to announce the introduction of the ARC Village to the shows this year and thank our friends at CSL Dualcom for supporting the initiative. Alarm receiving centres are a key component in the management of a security and fire alarm system and our visitors have been looking to meet them for a number of years. The ARC Village is also a major part of our offering for installers and integrators many of whom attend the shows to expand their knowledge and awareness of the services available to their businesses.”
And Simon Banks, Managing Director of CSL Dualcom the IFSEC and FIREX Connectivity Partner says: ‘’CSL Dualcom is a keen supporter of this new initiative at IFSEC and FIREX as it closes a much needed gap in the shows’ exhibitor profile. Having serviced the alarm receiving centre market for a number of years we’re acutely aware of the role these companies play in maintaining accurate and verifiable alarm management so to have them showcased at IFSEC and FIREX 2016 is a major bonus for the visitors.”
Details of the ARC Village will be updated on www.ifsec.co.uk.
