WiLAS Installation & User Guide

Figure 1 illustrates how a 

WiLAS system 

can be deployed in a typical multi-building campus site, and how 

activation signals are propagated through the network via multiple pathways. This ability to automatically 

create multiple pathways makes WiLAS highly resilient, providing redundant signal pathways in the event of 

radio interference, or hardware failures resulting from faults, vandalism or malicious attacks.

To enhance network robustness, 

WiLAS 

uses a security coded radio signal. Every wireless remote control, 

Control Station and optional warning Beacon Station is keyed to a site-specific network to ensure network 

integrity. Every Control Station is additionally supplied with dual siren horns, not only to deliver greater audio 

output, but to provide redundancy. Back-up batteries on the Control Stations, and optional solar charging 

systems ensure maximum network up time by ensuring the system will work even in a total power blackout.
