Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

Vodafone Portugal is a long-standing UTCFS customer, using intrusion and fire detection products both in its shops and in its offices. When Vodafone Portugal built its new office building in the city of Oporto, it turned directly to UTCFS for intrusion and fire detection systems, confident in the quality of UTCFS’s products and service. One of Vodafone Portugal’s important requirements was the ability to manage these two separate systems in an integrated way, optimising efficiency while maintaining ease of use for security staff.

UTCFS’s solution

Vodafone Portugal uses UTCFS’s ATS Master platform for top-of-the-range intrusion detection capabilities. This platform, known for its reliability, scalability and functionality, is not only in place in the Oporto office, but also in most of Vodafone’s stores across Portugal. The ATS control panel manages numerous detectors throughout Vodafone Portugal's buildings, making sure no unwanted event goes undetected. Turning to fire detection, UTCFS’s FP2000 platform covers the entire site, detecting any trace of smoke or fire. These two security systems are connected to the building's central control room and integrated using UTCFS's Alliance software. With Alliance, Vodafone Portugal is able to control, monitor and configure both the intrusion and fire detection systems, offering a reliable and efficient platform for security personnel to work with.
