Making sure fire and life safety systems are connected and protected from threats is essential. Convergint, partnered with Edwards, provides the latest life safety network for commercial buildings. Edwards recently introduced the new EST4, which is designed to protect people and property, while making safety communications simple to service, secure from cyber threats, and easy to implement. 

Safeguarding People and Property

EST4 is the premier emergency communications system from Edwards. Though it represents a small change in name from its predecessor, EST4’s leap forward in capability is anything but diminutive. This new system features a whole new network architecture that makes fire alarm, mass notification, and building integration easy to implement, quick to service, and secure from cyber threats.

Networking

Enhanced networking capabilities are based on a TCP/IPv6 network. This gives EST4 the flexibility to be designed into many mid-to-large applications. 

Cybersecurity

EST4 is equipped with the ability to deploy proxy firewalls that effectively insulate the internal fire network from external cyber threats. The proxy firewall uses Advanced Encryption Standard encryption and protocols.

Audio

Hi-fidelity audio messaging capabilities ensure that messages reach the right people across 200 channels and at the right time. This provides responders with the ability to relay information clearly and concisely, saving time and protecting lives.

Forward Migration

The EST3 system can be easily and quickly upgraded with cost-saving innovations from Edwards. The all-new EST4 supports all Signature Series devices, modules and service tools, and Genesis notification appliances, plus existing network cabling is reusable.

Convergint and Edwards place a high priority on the security of people and property. The EST4 life safety network will help save lives while making safety communitions simple and secure.
