AES Corporation Announces Release of New 7706 ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System

  • Aug 10, 2015

AES Corporation is proud to introduce the new AES 7706-ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System. This exciting new fire product was engineered in close collaboration between two leading companies in the security industry, AES Corporation and Potter Electric Signal Co., LLC. This partnership combines over 40 years of security innovation and over a hundred years of name recognition as the symbol of protection.

The new AES 7706-ULF is UL listed and NFPA compliant, featuring a compact intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) for monitoring wet or dry fire sprinkler systems. The 7706-ULF is an integrated product with dual purpose all housed in a single box enclosure, leveraging AES-IntelliNet patented mesh radio technology and Potter's proven FACP. The single point configuration provides faster alarm communication and reporting to the Central Monitoring Station. The AES 7706-ULF is a highly integrated turnkey solution that eliminates the need for telephone lines.  Benefits include improved productivity, significantly reduced installation time, lower cost of deployment, and faster AHJ approval process of the fire application which translates into instant revenue for alarm dealers. In turn, the result of this savings can be passed along to end users.

"AES is very pleased to introduce the new 7706-ULF. This solution was designed specifically for small to mid-size fire system and sprinkler monitoring applications in response to input we've received from alarm dealers and installers," said Jim Burditt, vice president of sales for The Americas, AES Corporation. "The joint development with AES and Potter offers customers peace of mind knowing they have the highest quality product protecting their most precious assets.

AES is focused on enhancing and expanding our suite of security solutions. The AES 7706-ULF is a key deliverable to the marketplace bringing added value to our host of products and services in the Fire category. When it comes to preventing loss of life or property, network owners and operators as well as first responders rely on AES global alarm communications technology.

All components of the new AES 7706-ULF Integrated Fire Monitoring System are factory installed in a single FACP enclosure. Components don't have to be sourced from multiple vendors; AES Corporation is the single point of contact for global customer service and technical support.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
