Our partners know to come to us first for alarm system security solutions for our rapidly changing industry.
Our security monitoring and alarm signaling products and services were quickly recognised by security professionals with WebWay IP/GPRS winning Best New Product at IFSEC 2004 followed by a dual win at the Security Excellence Awards for Best Security Innovation and Best IT Initiative.
WebWayOne has been first to market with ground breaking solutions that benefit security and the ongoing maintenance of the intruder alarm and signalling systems including:
2010 has seen a continued trend in extensive growth for WebWayOne-with rapid expansion in the headcount of employees. Six new employees joined the organisation between the period of January to July 2010, and still looking to employ more. The employment of Piet Voorneveld, Country Manager for the Netherlands, marked the development of partnerships abroad. Piet has an impressive record for marketing and supporting quality security products in Europe. He will be providing support to our international emerging markets alongside our experienced technical and commercial groups. With many thousands of WebWay 2424 fire and intruder signalling systems already in place through Europe we see this new venture as the first of a series of strategies for expansion.
There has been further development with relationships abroad, increasing our spectrum of partners. We now have partners in Spain, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands and are looking to attend exhibitions in these countries over the next couple of years.
IFSEC 2010 was our busiest exhibition to date with enthusiastic support from our home market partners and new and existing partners from Europe. We were overwhelmed with the level of interest in WebWayOne, with people queuing to book appointments with us.
2010 has also seen the release of the WebWay Mk4. (Link here to the PR story) The WebWay base board has reduced in size without any loss of functionality or features.
The turnover for 2009 to 2010 doubled that of the previous year. May saw a record month with more than 700 WebWay panels leaving the Newbury factory.
IFSEC 2009 was a great success even though we were in the grip of a major recession.
Expansion developed abroad with new international partners and the attendance of a trade show in Sweden, named SecTec. SecTec provided a great opportunity to develop new leads and strengthen relationships in Sweden and surrounding areas.
2008 saw the expansion of our roll out to national alarm receiving centres. Our service is available from ADT, AIM, Chubb, CPS, EMCS, G4S, Kings, Pointer, Romec, RVR, Secom, Securitas UK, SSS, UK Monitoring, Visual Verification and Yeoman. The release of Command Centre software is providing installers with real time performance reports on all WebWay 2424 installations
Business expansion continued in 2007 as we acquired additional premises in Newbury for Customer Service, Sales, Marketing and Training. WebWay 2424 was also independently tested and certified to meet the requirements of Grade 4 Intruder and Type 1 Fire applications.
Our unique solution for GPRS installations using Multi Service Provider SIMS was released in conjunction with our GPRS service provider partner O2. WebWay 2424 Broadway is the first signalling system to offer a dual path signalling solution that has no additional ongoing charges when using our multi service provider SIM.
June 2007 saw the launch of our WebWay Installation Partner Program to train, support and assist installation companies with the marketing and promotion of WebWay solutions.
Our customer base expanded to include brand names such as Laura Ashley, Roland’s Pharmacy, Screwfix, Mothercare, O2 Retail, and Southern Co-Op. Our international business expanded with 1000 systems installed in Norway and expansion of our sales to ISS in Finland and a further 500 systems to Iceland.
WebWayOne supplied more leading retailers with IP signalling solutions than any other provider, including Boots, Office Angels, Border Books, and Leeds Building Society.
November 2006 saw us awarded a major contract to supply ISS of Finland with in excess of 8,000 WebWay 2424 Broadway Transceivers and our WebWay 2424 Gateway Server architecture. The contract will see ISS switch its customer base from an analogue line monitoring system to digital IP and GPRS technology, delivering intruder and fire alarm data directly to fire and police stations across the country. The complex quadruple redundant receiver architecture was implemented during the summer of 2007, and major roll out began in January 2008.
In 2005 WebWayOne was appointed as a principal Expert in alarm transmission systems by the BSIA. We represent the UK security industry within CENELEC working group WG5 for the interpretation and formulation of security signalling standards for Europe.
Also in 2005 our products won Best New Product at IFSEC and became one of only a handful of companies to win two Security Excellence Awards, winning the Best Security Innovation and Best IT Initiative categories.
Two major success were rolled out, with Dixons Group plc implementing 1300 WebWay 2424 systems across their PC World, Dixons, Curry’s and The Link brands and The Post Office deploying over 800 GPRS-PSTN systems (an estate that has grown to over 2000 systems to date and growing at around 600 systems per annum at least).
WebWayOne Ltd attained ISO 9001 accreditation in 2004 and were accepted as a member of the BSIA.
WebWay 2424 Gateway Receivers were installed in national alarm receiving centres including Chubb, CPS, Custodian, EMCS, G4S, Initial (now Chubb), Kings, Northern Monitoring, Pointer, Romec, RVR, Southern Monitoring, UK Monitoring and Visual Verification.
WebWayOne Ltd was established in January 2000. Our experienced development team was chosen by Global Crossing and Camelot to supply 30,000 ISDN systems for the transmission of National Lottery ticket data. In October 2007 the solution transmitted data for 3 million transactions in a single hour for the Euro Millions draw. The WebWay 2424 solution, available to the security industry today, is a genesis from that solution, delivering high scalability, resilience and reliability in a distributed architecture.
During the early years, WebWayOne provided security signalling solutions for major corporations including Tesco, TM Retail, BT redcare, BAA and QinetiQ. We identified a major gap in the security industry for a fully integrated and managed solution for alarm signalling with remote alarm panel management. We envisaged a more direct connection between the protected premises with fully redundant ARC based (BS5979) monitoring centre transceivers. The WebWay 2424 signalling solution was born.
