Market adoption of the term ‘AoIP’ for alarms-over-IP signalling is now well established, according to Chiron Security Communications – reflecting this, the company is to rebrand its IRIS Touch range of products, beginning with the Power Pack. Chiron’s CEO Wim Harthoorn says: “To keep up with market trends in the alarms sector we are now clearly labelling our devices with AoIP instead of the earlier term ‘IP alarms’. With AoIP, our installers and other customers who want the latest in direct-polled signalling technology know what to look for.”
He added that customers would also find information about the IRIS range products’ features and capabilities on the new style packaging. Last month Chiron launched the IRIS Touch Home alarm signalling unit (pictured) with in-built power back-up and a small footprint designed for residential and SME use. Independently certified to EN50131/6, the IRIS Touch Home 40 provides network resilience through dual back up communicating via GPRS and IP. The new IRIS Touch Home units deliver the standard of security normally only found in Grade 4 systems, the makers claim.
