Taihan launches the first-ever “RF Light Line” in Korea
Taihan launched its new “RF Light Line” product capable of establishing communication lines and securing emergency exits simultaneously at the scene of a fire. RF Light Line infuses what is known as a Light Line (a type of a light-emitting cable) with radio frequency (RF) technology, making it the first of its kind in Korea.
A Light Line specifically refers to a mandatory type of firefighting equipment installed at access points to underground structures to help people evacuate and secure emergency exits in the event a fire breaks out underground. RF Light Line incorporates a telecommunication cable to this Light Line, which can help establish stable communication at the scene of a fire without using any additional equipment or working to install new facilities. In particular, firefighters dispatched to an underground structure often lose contact with the command center above ground when auxiliary wireless communication equipment servicing the underground structure fails to function properly due to deterioration, malfunction, fire damage, or missing components. In that event, the RF Light Line can establish a clear line of communication. As such, Taihan expects its RF Light Line to make some significant contributions towards improving fire safety.
An official at Taihan stated, “People will be able to work much safer than before at not only scenes of underground fires, but also in locations such as tunnels and caves where clear communication lines or sightlines are difficult to establish and therefore run a high risk of communication issues.”
