The battery-based system effectively protects commercial property from costly fire damage.
Semtech Corporation announced that LDT, a Korean display and Internet of Things (IoT) industry solution provider, has integrated Semtech’s LoRa® devices into its smart fire protection system, which uses sensors and webcams to detect any flames, smoke, and passive infrared. And real-time warning of temperature changes in commercial properties.
Due to LoRa integration, LDT intelligent fire protection system It can provide real-time analysis, sensing, connectivity and geolocation to measure fire levels, protect commercial facilities such as shopping malls and local markets from fire damage and protect human lives.
Jeong-Hoon Hwang, team leader of LDT Smart Sensor Network Business Department, said:
“When a fire hazard occurs, the time between detection and reaction is critical to prevent personal injury and property damage. This is why we chose to use Semtech’s LoRa equipment for the LDT intelligent fire protection system, and immediately notify the building manager of the fire emergency And responded immediately.”
“We hope to help more owners protect their properties by using this potentially life-saving and cost-effective technology.”
In order to implement the LDT intelligent fire protection system, a gateway is installed on each ceiling of the building and sensors are installed in all rooms. Once the sensor detects a fire threat, real-time fire data is sent to a gateway using LoRa, which is connected to the intelligent fire protection system via a local area network (LAN). From there, an automatic response can be triggered based on the conditions of the building. The response is sent to emergency responders and property managers via mobile devices or computers, allowing them time to respond effectively.
“The ability to prevent and respond to dangerous situations in record time demonstrates Semtech’s commitment to creating a safer and smarter planet through the use of its proven LoRa equipment,” Said Marc Pegulu, vice president of IoT product marketing and strategy at Semtech Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “Working with LDT to develop its intelligent fire protection system is a perfect example of how LoRa features (remote and low power consumption) can solve the real-world challenges faced by building owners today.”
