Communication through steel and concrete

Fibra

Fibra communication technology allows the installer to wire lines up to 6,550 ft long2. One Hub Hybrid can run 8 lines. Ajax modules that split, protect, and power the line can extend the connection length to tens of kilometers. Additionally, Fibra supports Ring and Tree topologies to protect connected devices from sabotage attempts. The line can be branched to wire the cables unexpectedly for the intruder or make a ring, forming two fully operational lines in case of breakage.

Fibra lines are multifunctional and support connecting different types of devices to one line: sirens, keypads, and detectors with photo verification. All alarms, events, and photo verification are delivered over the same line as other connected devices without interference. Fibra also features encryption and device authentication to prevent sabotage, spoofing, or data theft.

Fibra

Jeweller

Jeweller wireless technology has a radio signal communication range of up to 6,550 ft in an open space. It transmits alarms, events, and readings into the Ajax apps in just 0.15 seconds. The protocol uses polling to display current device statuses, allowing remote system control in real time.

Automatic power adjustment makes Jeweller energy efficient by not using the maximum power of radio transmitters in system devices on a regular basis. This feature ensures the long-lasting operation of wireless devices on pre-installed batteries for 2 to 7 years. Additionally, Jeweller is more stable by using less noisy radio frequencies. The technology also features encryption and authentication to prevent spoofing.

Jeweller

Wings

Wings is a wireless technology designed for photo verification transmission at a distance of up to 5,600 ft in an open space. It is also used as a backup communication channel that transmits large data packages in case of connection loss and sends data backups from the detector to the hub after restoring the connection. All the data is encrypted at every stage of transmission.

Wings

Always online via Ethernet and cellular networks

Hub Hybrid can be connected to three internet providers simultaneously. It uses an Ethernet connection as the primary channel and has two SIM cards that support 2G/3G/4G(LTE) as backups. If the primary channel is lost, the hub automatically selects the SIM with the strongest signal. Switching between channels takes seconds.

Ethernet

The hub is available in two versions: Hub Hybrid (2G), which supports only 2G, and Hub Hybrid (4G), which supports 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE networks.

More than two days on a backup battery

Wired Ajax detectors consume tens of times less energy than similar detectors from other manufacturers. Hub Hybrid with a backup battery can power 30 wired Superior devices for up to 60 hours1. And if Battery Power Saver is enabled, the system can operate for 200 hours straight3. At the same time, wireless Ajax devices do not require additional power supply, as they are battery-operated.

Battery Power Saver

Use the Fibra power supply calculator to check the system project and estimate the power consumption of wired devices.

Reliable communication through any barrier

When the hub is installed in a cellar or a metal-enclosed vault, ExternalAntenna helps to overcome interference for cellular signal. The 3-meter cable provides sufficient length to place the antenna optimally to achieve the best signal possible. If the antenna’s cable is cut or severed, the security company and users will receive an instant alert.

Cable length of 9 ft

ExternalAntenna

ExternalAntenna helps to get a more reliable and stable connection when the hub is installed in challenging environments. It improves the signal strength of Jeweller, Wings, and cellular channels.

ExternalAntenna

Sabotage resistance

Tamper alarm

Tamper alarm

The hub's board has two tamper buttons to alert when the hub is detached from the surface, or the front lid is removed. Hub Hybrid (4G) (without casing) additionally features connecting an external tamper of Case D (430).

Device authentication against spoofing

Device authentication against spoofing

The hub checks each system device's unique parameters for authentication during each communication session. If any parameter fails the check, the hub ignores commands from the device.

Communication failure detection in 36 s

Communication failure detection in 36 s

Each system device regularly exchanges data with the hub. With maximum ping interval settings available (3 data packages once in 12 seconds), it takes only 36 seconds to identify communication loss and notify the security company and users about the incident.

Data encryption

Data encryption

All data stored and transmitted by the system is protected by a proprietary NIST-certified cipher based on AES-128. This encryption makes it extremely difficult to reprogram the device and replace or steal the data, and the NIST certification proves that user and device data is inaccessible to attackers.

Jamming detection and frequency hopping

Jamming detection and frequency hopping

The hub constantly analyzes the quality of wireless communication with system devices. If some data packages are lost, the hub uses radio hopping and automatically changes frequency within a band, notifying the security company and users about the jamming.

Informative push notifications

Informative push notifications

The system instantly notifies users about alarms with critical alerts via Ajax apps. Notifications include alarm type, device name, facility name, and device room. Each detector's alarm also has a code for the CMS to identify its type. Ajax transmits alarms to the PRO Desktop monitoring app or third-party CMS using proprietary protocols. Upon receiving an alarm, the operator knows exactly where to dispatch the rapid response unit.

Physical protection of the line against break

Hub Hybrid can support up to 8 lines. Ajax modules that split, protect, and provide additional power to the line can extend the connection length to tens of kilometers. Additionally, the hub supports both Ring and Tree topologies4, which help protect connected devices from sabotage attempts. The line can be branched to wire the cables unexpectedly for the intruder or make a ring. In case of breakage, the ring will form two fully operational lines without losing any connected device. The system instantly alerts both the security company and users about any breakage.

Hybrid alarm control panel Ajax Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G)

A burglar alarm is used for timely detection of violations on the territory under protection. The purpose of the security system is to:
  1. Guaranteed detection of intrusion into the protected area.
  2. Immediately notify the security service or the owner of the threat.
These tasks are solved by installing security devices and competent equipment correctly. The choice of the type of alarm for the protection of the premises depends on several factors, important: the features of the protected space, the kind of object, the need to connect the alarm to the central console of the security company or the transmission of an alarm signal to the local security service of the object, the stage of repair or construction of the premises. A complete security alarm system includes a set of software and hardware devices. The security system usually consists of a control panel, sensors (intrusion, opening, movement, etc.), panic buttons. Data about incidents and the current situation at the guarded facility are automatically received from sensors or panic buttons when the alarm is manually activated. Security systems use IR motion sensors, reed door sensors, contact or ultrasonic glass break sensors, vibration and other types of detectors. Additionally, when used in complex fire and security alarm systems, temperature sensors, smoke detectors, and in some cases, gas and water leakage sensors in office or residential premises are connected. Stationary alarm buttons or radio key fobs are used as panic buttons. The primary device of the security alarm system is the control panel of the security system, which receives information about all events in the territory under protection. Depending on the settings and type of the control panel, it can perform several functions when an emergency detection signal is received. Typically, for continuous operation of the central alarm systems are equipped with spare communication channels and backup power supplies. When the panel receives an alarm signal, it will activate sound or light warning systems. Alarm systems are of various types and purposes. A siren or other audio-visual detectors may sound when the burglar alarm is activated. The signal can be sent to a control system or a centralized security console using a radio channel, GSM, or a telephone line. Depending on the settings, it is possible to inform users about events by SMS messages, push notifications or calls. Alarm control panels are designed to collect information from various sensors connected to them, give an alarm signal, and control multiple automation devices through built-in relays. Various types of fire and security sensors, as well as sirens, light and sound alarm detectors, critical electronic readers, control keyboards and light sources, are connected to the security system central. In addition, control panels can collect information from wireless sensors and cameras, depending on the model. In most cases, the control panel housing is made of plastic or metal, and the printed circuit board has terminal blocks for connecting wires. In some types of control panels, there is a place for the battery, and there is a power supply. A GSM module for sending messages and transmitting information can be located on the alarm control panel board or separately in the housing. Alarm control panels are programmed using utility programs using a laptop. Programming means configuring the security device to the user's needs individually.

Ajax Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) — hybrid security alarm control panel

The Ajax Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) alarm control panel is the first Ajax control panel to support the new Fibra wired devices and Jeweler wireless devices. The device controls the operation of all Ajax sensors connected to the security system. It sends an alarm signal to the owner and the security console immediately after a detected threat. The Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) alarm control panel supports photo-captured sensors and has eight independent lines with ring topology support. Provides communication range with Ajax detectors up to 2000 meters via the Jeweler radio protocol without obstacles. And Fibra wire technology allows you to create independent lines up to two km long. The operating frequencies of the control panel are 868.0-868.6 MHz. The device supports 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE Ethernet networks. Combining the two technologies allows you to build comprehensive territory protection, regardless of the size and ceilings and metal or concrete. Security is strengthened by informative messages and photo-verification of alarms, complete real-time system control from the Ajax mobile application, and customizable automation scenarios. Central security alarm Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) is made in a laconic design of durable plastic. The appearance is universal and suitable for installation in any interior.

Features of the control panel Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G)

Fibra technology Using Fibra wired technology, Hub Hybrid (4G) creates independent links up to 2 km long. Eight lanes in a single system running Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) white minimize the possibility of a loss of connection and potential damage. Thanks to this principle of operation, even a complete break in one line leave the security system working by 87%. And with wireless sensors in the system, this percentage becomes higher. Jeweller technology Jeweller's two-way radio protocol allows the Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) to communicate with the system's detectors at a distance of up to 2000 meters in the absence of obstacles. Jeweller allows remote control of the security system and transmits alarms in 0.15 seconds. The wireless radio protocol uses frames to encrypt communications, protect data from theft, synchronize device communication sessions, and authenticate to prevent forgery. An energy-efficient protocol allows wireless security sensors to operate on supplied batteries for up to 7 years. Up to 5 repeaters with a communication range of up to 1800 meters can be connected to the Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) via radio or Ethernet cable. Photo verification of alarms in 9 seconds Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) supports MotionCam Outdoor and MotionCam wireless motion sensors. Sensors take a series of pictures immediately when motion is detected and allow you to evaluate what is happening on the object in dynamics. The Wings radio protocol is used to quickly transfer a series of photos and verify the delivery of photo confirmations. Ajax Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) is always online via cellular networks and cable connection Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) can be connected to three Internet providers simultaneously — via Ethernet cable and 2G cellular networks. Automatic switching between communication channels takes a few seconds. The Hub Hybrid alarm control panel's backup battery can power a system of 30 wired instruments for 60 hours. And devices connected via radio do not need additional power and operate from their built-in batteries. Antisabotage With the help of the tampers on the device case, attempts to dismantle and open the subject are detected. The Ajax Cloud server polls the Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) every 10 seconds and determines its operability. In case of disconnection of wired Internet and simultaneous jamming of mobile communication frequencies, the server can inform the security console about the isolation of the object in 1 minute. The devices in the system are authenticated using unique properties and tokens that the hub verifies on every communication session. If any of the parameters does not pass the test, the control panel ignores the device commands. The procedure excludes the possibility of controlling the system by a third-party device: key fob, keyboard or smart button. Jamming and communication loss detection in less than a minute Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) analyzes the quality of communication with connected devices. If part of the packet is lost, the control panel changes frequencies to transmit information and informs the remote control about interference in the air. There is data protection by frequency hopping and encryption. All transmitted data is protected by block encryption with a floating key. In radio transmission, frequency hopping makes it challenging to intercept information and jam the signal. Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) polls devices every 12 seconds. The administrator sets the polling frequency for wireless devices, and the hub automatically determines the minimum possible interval for wired devices. Thanks to this principle of operation of the control panel, it takes 36 seconds to detect the loss of a device from communication and notify the security console about the incident. Security Automation with Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) The Hub Hybrid control panel allows you to create 32 automation scenarios and minimize the impact of the human factor on safety. The Hub can manage the protection of an object or group according to a given schedule. The user can activate the house machine when entering the room, de-energise the room, turn on emergency lighting in case of fire and shut off the water in case of a leak. Hub Hybrid gives you the ability to control electric locks, lights, roller shutters and garage doors — in case of a sensor alarm, change of security mode or by pressing a button. The Ajax Hub Hybrid (4G or 2G) signalling central works under OS Malevich, a real-time operating system developed by Ajax Systems. The system is protected from cyberattacks, invulnerable to viruses and highly reliable. The hardware configuration will keep the Hub Hybrid control panel updated and up-to-date for years.
