Students participating in one of Tavcom Training's Alarm Systems courses will be able to gain practical hands-on experience of alarm handling within a control room environment, thanks to equipment donated by WebWayOne.
The equipment installed in the control room operators' testing area at Tavcom's training centre in Bishops Waltham, includes Communicator Pro and Mini devices, as well as WebWay World web access in order for students to familiarise themselves with the commissioning and support of IP and 2G/3G communication.
Six Webway communicators are fully operational and signalling to test accounts at Southern Monitoring's Alarm Receiving Centre in Waterlooville, with remote access via MASWeb to view alarm delivery in real time. The communicators are serially connected to Honeywell Galaxy and Texecom Intruder panels and can take advantage of SIA3 signalling which includes the support of remote servicing and diagnostics.
Enhanced training
“As the leading provider of security systems training, we are always looking to utilise the latest available technology to enhance the effectiveness of our training courses by offering students opportunities to immediate put theory into practice," said Paul Tennent, Director of Tavcom. "We are therefore very grateful to WebWayOne for their support in providing ATS equipment. We will certainly be able to put it to good use in all the Alarm Systems' related training courses which we will be conducting during 2015."
