Interesting write-up on the ‘signal quality’ of the different frequencies in a living space. Never would have guessed! Now, it is so ‘clear’. This information gets you thinking.

It is important to note that we didn’t just get lucky and provide turnkey solutions from the start. We did the subcontractor thing for many years and still have the scars to prove it. Most seasoned senior living operators know through their own experience that having a partner that has complete responsibility and control is the best choice.

And, although your blog was not about the product itself, that is a turnkey deliverable from Tel-Tron, too. We design it (actually have real, live engineers on staff), and manufacture all of it in our factory in Daytona Beach. This gives clients comfort about product life cycle, backwards compatibility, etc.

Comment on Wireless Network….Heal Thy Self! by Brian Dawson, President & CEO

A good design in a life safety environment includes each wireless access point having battery back-up for many hours – maybe even a whole day. However, more can happen than just a simple power outage. A component could fail. The device can be unplugged/removed. (We once had a resident disable his emergency call system because he wanted to smoke in his room undetected. I’ve seen seniors who thought they were being spied on vandalize parts of the emergency call system.) Lightning damage can occur.

I guess what I am saying is that no matter how rugged the design, or the hardware redundancies you put in place, things can happen. And since losing a wireless access point from time to time is not uncommon in senior living, a self healing mesh network is a smart idea. Without it, we wouldn’t trust our own lives with it. And that fact….would be a violation of our core principles.

I think the ability to automatically reroute is pretty awesome. However, the question I have would be, what would cause an access point to go down in the first place? If it’s thinks like circuit breaks, then shouldn’t the access points be on their own outlet?

Though I feel the ability to auto reroute should be a standard concept.
