VAUGHAN, ON, Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - The Mircom Group of Companies ("Mircom") is excited to introduce FleX-Net Version 12 (V12) Firmware and Configuration Software products. FleX-Net V12 takes Mircom's Flagship product, FleX-Net, to the next level by adding support for new sensors and expanding loop device capacity, simultaneously providing faster alarm detection and response.

FleX-Net V12 has undergone rigorous field testing at BETA sites for 18 months, during which many enhancements were incorporated. The key feature of FleX-Net V12 is the Advanced Protocol (AP) functionality. The integration of AP Protocol allows FleX-Net to be able to provide a superior group polling method, as well as an interrupt feature that allows for faster response times during alarm conditions. This function allows for a greater number of devices to be placed on the Addressable Loop: 159 Sensors & 159 Modules, for a total of 318 devices on a single SLC Loop.

FleX-Net V12 is a software upgrade to the FleX-Net series of panels. There is no need for new hardware when upgrading a FleX-Net system from FleX-Net Phase 2 to FleX-Net V12. Upgrading the firmware can be done via network firmware upgrade when all of the CPUs on the system are running the same firmware. OpenGN, Mircom's 3D graphical monitoring software, continues to operate seamlessly with the Flex-Net V12 for an unparalleled user experience.

FleX-Net V12 starts shipping in new systems November 1.
