Wireless Fire Alarm Protection for a Historic School in Budapest
Budapest-Fasori Evangélikus Gimnázium is one of Hungary’s iconic educational institutions. Together with our partner IP Cam Technologies, we delivered a wireless fire alarm system for this historic building, designed to support reliable protection while limiting the need for extensive new cabling throughout the building.
The system is built around an iRIS4 addressable fire alarm panel and our Natron fire alarm solution with 15 wireless gateways, connecting more than 230 wireless devices.
To help ensure the safety of students, teachers, and visitors we at Teletek Electronics, together with our trusted partner IP CAM Technologies, delivered a modern and reliable fire alarm solution for the new race track.

the challenge
Founded in 1823, Budapest-Fasori Evangélikus Gimnázium combines an active school environment with a building of significant historic character.
Installing extensive new cabling in this type of property can require greater intervention in walls and interior finishes. It also creates disruption in an occupied educational setting.
The selected fire alarm solution
Fire alarm control and wireless communication
- 1 iRIS4 addressable fire alarm panel
- 15 Natron WE-A wireless gateways
Automatic fire detection
- 195 Natron SD wireless optical smoke detectors
- 3 Natron TD wireless heat detectors
- 5 Natron MD wireless combined smoke and heat detectors
Manual alarm activation
- 31 Natron MCP wireless manual call points
Alarm notification
- 2 Natron WSS wireless sounders
The project demonstrates how wireless fire detection can support heritage buildings and renovation projects where extensive new cabling may not be practical.
Why wireless was the right fit
For a historic and actively used educational building, installing extensive new cabling can be both disruptive and difficult. A wireless solution reduced the need for new cable routes, helping limit intervention in the existing walls and interior finishes while also simplifying installation across the building.
The Teletek Natron wireless fire alarm system also provided greater flexibility when positioning detectors, manual call points and sounders in areas with different layouts and protection requirements. Through the Natron WE-A gateways, all wireless devices are connected to the iRIS4 panel and operate as part of one centrally monitored addressable fire alarm system.
This combination made it possible to benefit from the flexibility of wireless installation without losing centralized device identification, alarm monitoring and system supervision.
