The engineering behind wireless detection
Embedded technology, proprietary radio protocols, and fault-tolerant architecture — the technical engine behind every Firebee installation.

Since 2007, we have applied embedded technology from space missions to SDAI systems to help ensure safety and data delivery across Firebee products.
Communication between the panel, detectors, manual call points, and sounders uses sub-GHz ISM radios in a dynamic mesh architecture — a proprietary encrypted protocol with frequency hopping.
During ransomware waves targeting industrial environments, we helped protect affected customers’ SDAI systems — the system kept operating outside the attackers’ reach.
Numbers that reflect Firebee engineering
Greater signal range
Sub-GHz ISM radios with optimized power — far greater coverage than conventional ZigBee/WiFi solutions.
CLX panel performance
New-generation processing: faster response, more devices per panel, and lower energy consumption.
Native cellular communication
Connectivity without relying on the local network — ideal for job sites, remote areas, and sites without fixed infrastructure.
FailSafe with Full Clustering
Native redundancy between panels — the system keeps detecting even if a device or node fails.
Clustering
Native redundancy with FailSafe architecture
The Full Clustering System connects panels in a smart cluster — each node mirrors the state of the others. A failure in any panel is absorbed without losing coverage, without downtime, and without manual intervention.
- Active-active cluster between panels
- Continuous mirroring of system state
- Fault tolerance for devices and nodes
- Zero downtime in detection operation

SDAI + CCTV integrated in real time
Every alarm generated by the panel automatically triggers the corresponding camera — the operator sees the incident on the same screen where they authorize the response. It reduces false positives, speeds up decision-making, and creates a visual audit trail.
- Automatic alarm ↔ camera correlation
- Visual verification in seconds
- Audit trail with recorded evidence
- Integration with existing CCTV (RTSP/ONVIF)
The right radio for each project
LoRa, ZigBee, sub-GHz ISM, and dynamic mesh — four technologies combined in the same panel to deliver wireless SDAI at any scale.
LoRa
Long-range, low-power radio, ideal for fire detection in extensive industrial plants, logistics complexes, and rural areas.
ZigBee / 6LoWPAN
IEEE 802.15.4 mesh radio for high-density building fire detection, with self-organization and native redundancy.
ISM 915 MHz sub-GHz
Brazilian sub-GHz ISM band (902-928 MHz) — optimal trade-off between range, penetration, and data rate for medium-sized fire detection.
Dynamic Mesh + IoT
Dynamic mesh architecture with IoT integration via Firebee Connect — cloud-based multi-site remote monitoring.
From sensor to action — in milliseconds
Detection
Wireless detectors sense smoke, temperature, flame, or manual activation and transmit through sub-GHz ISM radio.
Processing (cluster)
The CLX panel processes the event, validates it against the FCS FailSafe architecture, and correlates it with cameras through FireVision.
Action and notification
Triggers sounders/I/O modules, notifies operators over 3G/4G, and integrates with brigades, remote monitoring, and third-party systems.
