This innovative portfolio provides early, reliable detection and remote visual verification of smoke, gas, and perimeter threats for businesses, governments, and critical infrastructure. All of the solutions were revealed at a gala event in London earlier this month featuring presentations from the City of London Fire Brigade, U.S. Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) directorate, and the Bank of England.

Among the next-generation solutions released were Vesda-E and Vesda Laser Quantum (VLQ) aspirating smoke detectors (ASD), and the ADPRO Fasttrace 2E remotely managed multi-service gateway (RMG) security platform. The new safety and security platforms can be enhanced with seamless hardware expansion modules and innovative, remotely downloadable software analytics, called Xapps. Using Xtralis Xchange, an online licensing portal with a downloadable PC application, Xapps can be quickly deployed to remotely manage, configure, and exchange licenses to Xtralis platforms. In addition, Xtralis revealed its comprehensive safety and security convergence strategy using these platforms to achieve 100% detection with 0% false alarm rates, a goal previously thought to be unattainable.

Vesda-E is the next-generation of Vesda, a leading ASD system. While current-generation Vesda was considered the benchmark for ASD systems, Vesda-E is designed to surpass Vesda with 15 times greater sensitivity to smoke and double the longevity while maintaining sensitivity over its lifetime, all with 4% less power consumption. Xtralis will continue to offer Vesda as best-in-class ASD for a wide variety of applications, while initially targeting Vesda-E to retail, healthcare, education, and office building segments which comprise a large cross-section of the fire prevention market. Vesda-E also delivers a first in aspirating smoke detection — pin-point ASD addressability at up to 120 holes. This unprecedented capability brings the early, reliable detection of Vesda to main stream applications with a lower total cost of ownership advantage.

Vesda-E can quickly add monitoring, servicing, and detection capabilities with the addition of bolt-on hardware modules called Vesda Stax, including a version of its award-winning ECO gas detection solution. The Stax do not require re-engineering of the smoke detection pipe network. Vesda-E is engineered to bring superior setup, configuration, monitoring, and connectivity options, and features unique, innovative, downloadable Xapp software applications, which enable new, on-demand monitoring services. Available immediately are Wiretrace Xapp, to isolate threats from overheating cables and electrical wires; Dieseltrace Xapp, for monitoring diesel smoke trends to enable on-demand ventilation systems; and, Dusttrace Xapp, for monitoring dust conditions and enabling corrective response to take place with ventilation. Monitoring of the Vesda-E detector is available on popular tablets using an IVesda application.
