Additionally, these systems can alert staff members when related alarms are triggered, such as those for fire doors being opened or smoke detection within the premises. They help residents maintain independence offering additional reassurance that help and assistance is just a click away, 24 hours a day.

Why this is so critical now?
The Copper wire phone network also known as the Public Switch Telephone Network, or PSTN is being retired in 2027, meaning all analogue protocols designed for PSTN will become unusable.
Many traditional Warden Call systems utilise this network meaning that these systems will need to be updated before the cut off date of 31st Jan 2027.

Hard Wired SystemsWired warden call systems are recognised as the traditional call bell solution. These systems will still be applicable but will need to make use of the fibre network as opposed to the PTSN.
One of the major perks of using a wireless system is that installation can take minutes rather than days. Many wireless systems make use of the 4G/5G networks but can also make use of a commercial WiFi.
Integrated Wired & Wireless Systems
Ability to start with a fixed wire system, then add the integrated wireless equipment afterwards, if the needs of the resident develop/increase over time).
