A typical fire alarm control system must be able to detect the fire and transmit it to the central monitoring station. Fire points (detectors or sensors) communicate with the fire alarm control unit. As part of compliance in case of any fire-related event the information must be communicated to the monitoring station for timely response. Current fire panels are using the Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT), which is responsible for transmitting the information to the central station. Only some panels come together with the DACT, the remaining panels need to have the external DACT unit to transmit the information to the central station. There is obsolescence in the use of this DACT, since it requires more hardware components and interface. Therefore, to overcome the obsolescence of the DACT, the transmitting unit is designed to make the system profitable and eliminate obsolescence. Current life safety systems have no wireless connectivity to communicate with the outside world. Detectors or sensors are only reported to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). A person can not know the situation inside a building in case of fire, simply standing outside. Firefighter does not know the situation at the fire place until they reach the point. They can not get the dynamic view of spreading fire outside the building. The building owner who sits somewhere in the world can not see the state for the fire spreading in his building. Therefore the fire panel needs a system that transmits the events of the fire to the central station and the image of the floor map to the remote server.
