NEWS VOX IGNIS DELIVERS EVC SYSTEM TO AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPMENT
Global voice alarm and audio safety specialists Vox Ignis has supplied its LexicommPro Emergency Voice Communication System (EVCS) to a state-of-the-art new office development powering the significant digital economy of Teesside.
Boho X is a striking new development from Middlesbrough Council in the heart of the city’s digital quarter, designed to provide a spacious, modern working environment for new businesses within the digital and creative sector. The seven-story development provides 60,000 sq ft of high quality, Grade A flexible office space together with a gym, café, roof top bar, event space and lecture theatre alongside new, high quality public space and landscaping.
The project is jointly funded by Middlesbrough Council and Tees Valley Combined Authority and is representative of the growth in Middlesbrough and Tees Valley region and is part of the wider Boho masterplan. The development won the innovation award at the BCO Regional Awards 2024. It is now fully occupied by a renowned games developer.
To ensure the very best protection for the occupants, first responders and building managers in an evacuation or emergency, a LexicommPro disabled refuge and fire telephone system was installed. The LexicommPro system is powered by touchscreen driven network of flush-mounted, stainless steel LexicommPro master and expander panels with Type A fire telephone and Type B disabled refuge points. AssistCall assistance alarm kits for accessible toilets throughout the development are also integrated onto the system.
The system was installed and commissioned by Vox Ignis partner Tees Fire Systems (TFS). David Hynes,
Managing Director, said: “We’re a second-generation local company and we’re always very proud to work on standout developments in the region. We have specified and installed Vox Ignis equipment across the UK for many years. The quality and performance of their equipment is excellent, and it is designed to be easy to control and manage. The VoxOS touch screen control system that is used across their ranges ensures the products look as good as they perform and they sit well in any building.
Lexicomm is widely installed around the world and can scale from one stand-alone panel to a network of 64 with 512 combined fire telephone, disabled refuge and assistance alarm lines. A full range of Type A, B and C outstations and assistance alarm devices are available with Lexicomm in a range of finishes and IP ratings.
Jeremy Kirkup, Sales Director at Vox Ignis, said: “Lexicomm remains one of the very best emergency voice communications systems you can specify, and our customers tell us ‘It just makes sense.’ Through its development we have introduced powerful world-firsts, such as our double-gang type B disabled refuge point, and the VoxOS touchscreen system. Whatever we do we make sure our innovations amplify safety and make our customers’ lives simpler.”
