What is FireCell?
FireCell was the UK’s first EN54-25 certified wireless fire system—and it’s now stronger than ever. Developed and engineered in the UK to meet the stringent demands of building owners, users, and fire safety legislation, FireCell delivers safer, smarter protection with exceptional ease. Now offering 20% more power, longer battery life, and the ability to scale up to 8,000 devices, it supports fully wireless or hybrid configurations and loop modules that make refurbishments effortless.
Backed by nearly 60 years of EMS wireless innovation, FireCell has become the first choice for specifiers and end users whenever wireless or hybrid technology is required. From a handful of devices to multi-panel networks, it connects up to 16 panels without costly cabling—saving thousands while seamlessly linking buildings across hospitals, universities, and complex estates. Designed for flexibility, rapid installation, simple commissioning, and straightforward servicing, FireCell helps you achieve compliance quickly and confidently.
Using economical and reliable Alkaline battery technology, each FireCell device contains two battery sets to meet BS5839 requirements. Thanks to unique EMS battery management, the mandatory 3-year EN54-25 lifespan is typically extended to around 5 years under normal use—meaning a detector battery change only every five years at just a few pounds per set. The result is a system that’s not only powerful and scalable, but also cost-effective, low-maintenance, and truly fit-and-forget—backed by EMS’s renowned reliability and unmatched support.
XP95 Compatibility
Did you know that if you prefer to work with a control panel that supports this open protocol — whether out of familiarity or manufacturer preference — you can continue using your XP95 panel? Most XP95-compatible control panels already support EMS FireCell devices and the distinctive Hub & Cluster topology, delivering full addressability and seamless wireless integration.
Before installation, simply confirm with your panel supplier that EMS wireless devices are supported via embedded software. (Support for non-EMS panels is provided by the respective manufacturer.)
Even older XP95 panels or existing systems being expanded or refurbished can often be updated with a firmware upgrade to enable EMS wireless compatibility. Your panel manufacturer can advise on the available options.
Once wireless compatibility is confirmed, you can integrate:
-
An EMS Wireless Hub for a fully wireless system, or
-
A Fusion Radio Loop Module (RLM) for a hybrid wired/wireless configuration.
FireCell Fire Devices
FireCell is a premium fire detection platform and as such has a wide and comprehensive range of products including detectors, audible/visual alarm devices and manual call points, along with a range of interfaces and ancillary devices. FireCell also supports 100% wire free BS: 7273-4 door controllers (WDC), which operate as an integral element of the system and only releasing on an activation. These can be globally controlled, or individually, to meet agreed “cause and effect” programming. Wireless Door Controller
Wireless Networks – up to 16 panels
A unique feature, which is only available on FireCell, is wireless networking. Up to 16 FireCell panels can be wirelessly using Taktis or Syncro control panels connected across a number of buildings, such as a hospital or university campus. Using wireless networking will save many £1,000’s and take days to install, rather than many weeks, and health and safety issues are substantially reduced, almost negligible. The result is, that it is now possible to have over 8,000 wireless devices across a number of buildings, all without any cable.
