'FESD Dubai has been carefully evaluating the Egyptian market for some time' explains FESD Dubai Product Manager, Tanja Spoerl. 'But because our disaster prevention technologies would be a completely new form of fire protection for the IT community in this region, we had to be certain that any potential partner possessed the expertise and reputation needed to represent what is quickly becoming the favorite security system of IT managers throughout the world.'

Instead of securing building infrastructure with passive smoke detection and harmful chemical gases, such as FM200 which corrodes IT systems and is dangerous to employees, FESD's disaster prevention systems work by taking routine air samples of the environment surrounding each piece of crucial equipment and, in case of fire, isolating and securing the desired object with Argon, a hardware/human friendly inert gas.

By focusing on securing crucial equipment actively and safely, FESD's disaster prevention systems ensure a minimal amount of operational downtime in the face of any potential disaster.

'Fortunately for us, ICOT has a wealth of knowledge and experience in successfully bringing new technologies to Egypt and establishing such products as the dominant brands in their respective markets' concludes Ms. Spoerl. 'FESD is nothing but certain that ICOT will do the same for our own security technologies.'

Among the various disaster prevention systems ICOT will be bringing to the Egyptian market, is FESD's new On Top Fire Protection system (OFP)with integrated SMS, SMTP, and email capabilities which provide IT managers with real-time information concerning temperature, humidity, and smoke development in the environment surrounding their crucial equipment.
