APPLICATION 01
Hotels and large commercial buildings demand fire alarm systems that can scale from a small boutique property to a major tower without changing platforms, maintain reliable performance across complex floor plans and mixed occupancies, and integrate cleanly with building management systems. The Advanced Axis AX handles all of it.
The Axis AX is UL 864 10th Edition compliant and designed specifically for large commercial and high-rise applications. Its networking capability supports up to 200 panels in a single network, making it equally capable in a 10-storey hotel and a 60-storey mixed-use tower. Integrated audio systems with PerfectSync technology deliver synchronised voice evacuation across the entire building, eliminating the audio overlap that creates confusion during an emergency response. For facilities management teams, remote diagnostics and fault identification reduce response time and maintenance burden across large installations.
High-rise residential buildings carry a specific set of fire safety obligations. Occupied 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by residents who may have mobility limitations or may not respond immediately to an alarm, these buildings require fire systems that perform reliably at all hours, communicate clearly to occupants in an emergency, and satisfy the increasingly demanding requirements of provincial building codes across Canada.
The Advanced Axis AX was built with high-rise residential firmly in scope. Voice evacuation is not an add-on but a core feature, delivering clear, synchronised announcements to every floor simultaneously during an alarm event. PerfectSync ensures there is no audio drift between floors, which is a known problem with systems that lack proper audio synchronisation and one that directly affects occupant safety. The system is scalable to any tower height, fully addressable for rapid fault location, and ULC certified for the Canadian residential high-rise market.
Advanced Electronics is part of Halma PLC, a FTSE 100 group of life-saving technology companies active in over 80 countries. Their Axis product line is installed in tens of thousands of buildings worldwide, from single-panel sites to complex multi-panel institutional networks.
Patient-focused communication systems designed for safety, reliability, and active care environments.
