Texecom announces “evolved and refined” Ricochet wireless range

There’s an increased wireless transmission range on the popular Premier Elite 64-W range which now has a clear line of sight PIR detection and contact sensor range in excess of 1,000 metres.

Improved battery performance is resident within the Impaq SC-W, Micro Contact, Micro Shock and Capture ranges.

Further, the inclusion of Micro deep base with every Ricochet product is designed to enhance signal strength when installed in those applications where metal surfaces and materials are present.

Texecom has also invested in a wireless conditioning chamber. This chamber ensures that the Impaq SC-W and Capture product ranges undergo a further round of robust testing in the most extreme conditions. Further wireless ranges will be added to this testing process in the near future.

New guides

The company has introduced a number of new guides on its website detailing Best Practice when installing wireless solutions, including key factors that impact signal range and performance.

In addition, a custom-built design tool guides installers on real world performance by showing the impact of obstacles such as walls and differing materials on intruder detection solutions.

Installer feedback

Peter Alexander, technical director at Texecom, commented: “We work closely with professional security installers to ensure that we’re developing and manufacturing products and solutions suitable for the environments in which they are going to be installed and commissioned. The enhancements to our wireless product range are not only a result of feedback from those installers, but also due to significant R&D efforts that ensure we are delivering on our ethos of ‘Looking after the things people care about, wherever they are’.”

Texecom intends to release further enhancements next year and beyond as part of an ongoing security installer-focused programme of development.
