Connect ONE, the cloud platform from Connected Technologies, has expanded its commercial fire alarm integration and mapping capabilities for buildings across multiple control panel brands.
The update, announced on Wednesday 12 November 2025, adds deeper connectivity for Edwards, Notifier/Firelite and Mircom fire alarm control panels.
According to the company, the platform now captures, monitors and manages fire and security events together from a single cloud dashboard.
The update is designed to support emergency response, mass notification and real-time status checks for connected sites.
Connect ONE said the changes are aimed at customers who want fire alarm information handled in the same environment as security and building data.
Connected Technologies reported that the latest release strengthens the way its platform gathers and routes events from fire alarm and security systems.
The company said the system now manages a wider range of alerts, including those triggered by environmental sensors for temperature, humidity and CO₂.
These sensors communicate through the same network gateway that links the fire alarm control panel to Connect ONE.
Users can receive real-time notifications by email, text message or mobile app when events or status changes occur.
The company stated that fire alarm events and security incidents appear on one dashboard, where users can also trigger mass notification messages.
Connected Technologies indicated that this unified approach is intended to give operators a clearer view of what is happening across a facility at any given time.
Connect ONE has also expanded its GeoView Mapping integration so that users can place virtual zones and points on satellite views or on building floor plan maps.
Fire alarm zone and point data are brought into these maps through full-data capture of the fire alarm printer output routed via a serial network gateway.
The company said this means updates from the fire alarm control panels appear automatically on the map without manual re-entry.
GeoView, which uses a Google Maps-based interface, lets users see alarms and system status overlaid on satellite images and facility layouts.
From the same screen, operators can view linked camera feeds and use point-and-click controls to operate doors and other outputs.
Connected Technologies stated that this mapping feature is intended to provide a visual context for alarms and support more informed decisions about site response.
Connected Technologies highlighted the role of the latest update in bringing together life safety, security and environmental data for its partners and their customers.
Dan Simon, Technical Director at Connected Technologies, said: “Connect ONE continues to expand integrations that bring together life safety, security, and environmental systems.
“These enhancements allow our partners and end users to gain deeper visibility, faster response, and a more efficient way to manage their critical infrastructure.”
The company described Connect ONE as a unified cloud management platform that centralises system information for access, control and monitoring.
Connected Technologies invited interested parties to contact the company by phone or email to discuss further fire alarm control panel manufacturer integrations.
For fire and rescue chiefs, emergency planners and facility managers, the expansion of Connect ONE’s fire alarm integrations may affect how building information is presented during incidents.
A single dashboard linking fire alarm events, security status and environmental readings can reduce the need to consult separate systems or interfaces.
Airport and mass transit facility managers, petrochemical and industrial site operators and large commercial estates may see direct value where multiple fire alarm control panels already coexist with security and access control networks.
For system installers, fire-protection contractors and electrical contractors, the support for Edwards, Notifier/Firelite and Mircom control panels on a cloud platform may influence choices around gateway hardware, printer connections and commissioning workflows.
Fire engineering consultants and building services engineers may also take interest in how GeoView Mapping can link fire alarm outputs to satellite and floor plan views when designing or reviewing integrated building management strategies.
