New community access defibrillator installed
A new community access defibrillator has been installed at Lifeline Fire & Security outside of their offices at Riverway, Newport by Lifeline and Medina Foodservice, with support from Buywise and Premier Ford. This now makes it possible for even more people to respond to a medical emergency around the Riverway area where a defibrillator is required and part of an increasing-network of Defibrillators across the Island. Over 30,000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest at home or in public places, in the UK each year. If a defibrillator is used and CPR is performed within 3 to 5 minutes, the chances of survival are dramatically increased from 6% to 74%. These shocking statistics led Jean Lee, Director of Lifeline and Steve Ross, managing Director of Medina Foodservice to reach out to Buywise and Premier Ford, to help provide towards the funding for the new unit. Jean comments: “Having access to a defibrillator can help to improve survival outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest, so I felt that it was our social responsibility to provide a defibrillator for the local community and base this at Lifeline.” To further support the new defibrillator, Cindy Newnham & Ann Goldsmith of Lifeline have also attended […]

Criminals Beat DIY Alarms – Wireless System Jamming
After a recent article published by the Mail Online it has come to our attention that some customers may be concerned about the potential hacking or jamming of their systems. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4700290/Criminals-beat-alarm-click-electronic-device.html In the Mail Online article, a hand-held USB stick was purchased online and configured to send a wireless jamming signal, rendering a DIY alarm system inoperable. Ken Munro, founder of Pen Test Partners, stated ‘Consumers should look for “two-way” systems, which means the alarms can detect jamming attacks like this one’. The wireless systems installed by Lifeline are manufactured by Texecom. The wireless intruder alarm systems manufactured by Texecom contain Ricochet® mesh technology. Ricochet mesh technology utilises ‘two-way’ bi-directional communication between Ricochet enabled devices and the control system. Ricochet enabled wireless devices receive and repeat wireless transmissions from other devices. The size, scalability and robustness of the entire system are enhanced, as wireless signalling is not limited by point-to-point communications and signals are automatically rerouted to avoid interference. Ricochet enabled wireless alarm systems comply with the European wireless security standard EN50131-5-3 to Grade 2. All Ricochet enabled systems are protected by sophisticated encryption algorithms. Any attempt to jam a Texecom wireless system is identified by the security system and the […]
