Fibra Technology: The Revolution in Wired Security Systems from Ajax

Ajax innovations have reached new heights with Fibra – a digital-to-wire technology that combines the reliability of wired connections with the flexibility of wireless. With just a quad-core cable, Fibra offers a range of up to 2,000 meters, image verification, instant notifications, advanced vandalism protection, and remote management via app. Notably, the Fibra 4G Hybrid Hub also supports Jewellery (currently only 868MHz frequency), allowing for the connection of additional wireless Ajax devices when needed.

Fibra technology in a blink of an eye.

Fibra operates on a bus data transmission architecture, where sensors connect to the control center via a four-core cable. The Fibra protocol inherits the advantages of Jeweller radio technology, enabling bidirectional data transmission with minimal power consumption.

A single Fibra cable can connect dozens of different devices, including MotionCam sensors, capable of sending images over the same cable. In an Ajax application, devices can be arranged by room and group very flexibly regardless of how the wiring is organized. Therefore, the wiring can be designed to be most convenient for the existing infrastructure, and that physical design will not affect the arrangement and organization of devices in the application.

The Fibra protocol also ensures anti-collision mechanisms: even if 30 detectors are connected on a single line and activated simultaneously, they can still communicate stably. Alarms are transmitted in just 0.15 seconds.

The basic connection model uses only one wire branch.

Complex connection model with multiple wire branches.

Unprecedented energy efficiency

Each Fibra device consumes less than 0.4W, 10 times less than current wired devices, making system expansion easier.

The Fibra protocol uses the TDMA principle, where each device exchanges data for only a short period of time before switching to standby mode, which helps reduce power consumption and avoid signal interference.

With low power consumption, 30 Fibra devices can operate for up to 60 hours on a 7Ah backup battery, more than five times the requirement of Grade 2 security standards and meeting the requirements of Grade 3 security standards.

Advanced anti-sabotage

Fibra employs dynamic key encryption technology to protect data, making intrusion nearly impossible as it requires a massive amount of computing resources to unlock. However, even with encrypted data, an attacker still needs to access it. That's why every time the Hub and devices communicate, the system performs authentication by comparing identification parameters. If there is any discrepancy, the Hub ignores the device. Therefore, any attempts to interfere with or steal data are futile.

The Ajax system constantly monitors the operating status of the equipment. The hub checks the status of the devices at the shortest possible intervals, automatically optimizing according to real-world conditions. The voltage of each device is also monitored; if a transmission line fails leading to a voltage drop, the system will send an immediate alert. If a short circuit occurs, users and the monitoring center will receive immediate notification, and once the problem is resolved, the system will automatically restore operation without needing to replace fuses.

Furthermore, OS Malevich adds physical protection to the Fibra transmission. By connecting the two cable ends to the two hub ports, the system forms a closed loop (loop topology). If a transmission failure occurs, this loop will automatically split into two independent branches, ensuring the device remains operational while simultaneously sending alerts to the security company and the user about the incident.

New features in the PRO app

Fibra fully inherits the experience from the Ajax wireless system, with detailed event notifications and support for image verification via MotionCam sensors.

The PRO system provides a variety of tools to assist with installation:

• Automatic cable branch scanning helps detect unconfigured devices.
• Check power consumption levels and ensure the system is operating stably.
• PRO Desktop synchronizes configurations with the cloud, minimizing operational errors.

Fibra: Flexibility, reliability, and complete control.

As part of the Ajax ecosystem, Fibra delivers a consistent experience, regardless of whether the connected device is wired or wireless. Powerful hardware and high-tech software enable Ajax to continue setting new standards in the security industry.
