The Europe wide transition of traditional (PSTN) telecom networks towards All IP communications networks is in different stages, having significant impact on the alarm signalling systems across European countries. Euralarm’s Task Group Next Generation Networks (NGN) focuses on this transition and its complications.

Against the background of this transition development Euralarm members BSIA and FIA are hosting a high profile forum event on how changes to the UK telecommunications network may affect the Fire and Security Industry. The event will be held on March 15^th at UBM, London  and offers the opportunity to hear from the experts what the impact of the transition will be.

To compliment this, the Euralarm Task Group NGN will also organise a workshop prior to the conference. The workshop, to be held on March 14th, is intended to develop understanding of NGN progress across Europe. The group will also consider what guidance and direction will be of value to industry members and their customers going forward.

Euralarm members and other stakeholders and interested parties are invited to participate in the Open forum or workshop (Euralarm members only). More details of the TG NGN workshop can soon be found on the Euralarm website. Info on the Open forum event will be available via the website of Euralarm’s British member BSIA.
