MCE Gateway
MCE Gateway - communication technology for siren networks
The MCE Gateway developed by HÖRMANN Warnsysteme is the central element in the control and management of our electronic sirens in a siren system. As a communication interface, it is located between the sirens and the siren control center and communicates, for example, with our CCCS software for siren control centers or a RCS control panel. For the MCE gateway it is irrelevant whether one or more siren control centers control and monitor the sirens. Communication between the MCE Gateway and the sirens can be carried out via the usual channels such as analogue radio, TETRA digital radio, satellite, GPRS, Ethernet, satellite etc. In principle, however, the MCE Gateway will be adapted to the needs of the customer or his siren system.
Due to the flexible interfaces of the MCE Gateway, also external control centers can be integrated into the siren network. Often, this is necessary for large, heterogeneous warning systems or if the siren network is additionally monitored by an external control centre. In addition, the MCE Gateway can also be used as a network node in large siren networks.
A siren warning system can therefore also contain several MCE Gateways, which are connected in parallel for redundancy, for example, or are used at different hierarchical levels (national, regional, local). This type of configuration can be found, for example, in nationwide public warning systems with many sirens and several siren control centers, where it has proven itself in many applications. In small siren warning networks, on the other hand, often only one RCS control panel supplements the MCE Gateway.

Electronic Sirens
Electronic siren systems for mass warning and notification – tailored to the needs of each customer
Absolute reliability, low maintenance and operating costs and investment protection thanks to a modular design – this is what matters when it comes to electronic siren warning systems. We have been a pioneer in the development and production of electronic sirens since the start of the 1990s. With the introduction of digital amplifiers to our new generation of sirens, we have set another milestone in terms of operability and reliability. HÖRMANN Warnsysteme is also the only siren manufacturer to use siren cabinets with standard 19-inch shelves. This dedication to the industry standard simplifies maintenance and replacement of components. HÖRMANN warning systems have not only been reliably used for years in the area of civil defence in the form of mass warning and notification systems, but also in industry and to alert fire services. With over 60,000 sirens installed and maintained by us around the world, HÖRMANN Warnsysteme can confidently call itself the market leader.
