Hardwired alarm systems are linked to a range of services within supported housing, including, personal alarms, door entry and smoke alarms. Ageing equipment and the forthcoming Digital Switchover mean that many housing providers are seeking digital and cost-effective alternatives which don’t require complex cabling infrastructure. One Manchester will discuss their journey to date in decommissioning their hardwired equipment and switching to a WiFi-based system to re-imagine service delivery for their residents and create efficiencies. Alertacall will take a closer look at how housing technology for older people has developed over the last 20 years and what social landlords can do now to ensure they future proof their housing service.
