Wireless EVC systems  |  Site emergency alarm systems  |  Deaf fire alarm systems

Our history

We supply wireless EVC systems — as well as fire alarm systems for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.

We’re proud to have been saving lives through technology for over 20 years.

The Alerter Group story started in 1988, with the inception of our first product, Deaf Alerter. Next, we launched our wireless EVC system, Refuge Alerter, and our Site Alerter product.

Today, we’re proud to have our products  installed in thousands of buildings up and down the UK, helping millions of disabled, Deaf and Hard of Hearing people in the process.
