Delivering connected fire alarm monitoring solutions for Oxford Brookes University
Oxford Brookes University required a reliable solution to improve the monitoring and reporting of fire alarm systems across campus buildings. Existing systems lacked centralised visibility within the main security office, limiting operational awareness and response capabilities across the estate. The University also required a resilient communication infrastructure capable of maintaining alarm transmission during network outages while supporting future expansion across campus facilities.
Drax Technology worked alongside Trinity Fire & Security to remotely connect campus fire alarm systems to the University’s main security office. Over the course of the partnership, the solution was continuously developed and enhanced to improve operational resilience and user accessibility.
Drax Technology introduced a mobile alarm notification application to provide instant alarm visibility to operational teams while upgrading the system to a dual-path configuration with integrated 4G routers for failover protection. The implementation ensured uninterrupted alarm transmission across critical buildings while providing a scalable framework for future campus-wide deployment.
