Cladding

SPYKE-GS is the world’s first autonomous, satellite-connected fire detection system designed specifically to protect cladded buildings from external fire spread, without relying on power, networks, or human monitoring.

Built for cladding 

Cladded buildings present a unique and dangerous fire risk, as façade fires can rapidly spread vertically long before interior alarms activate. SPYKE-GS provides a first-of-its-kind solution: a fully autonomous, heat-triggered, satellite-connected detection system that monitors a building’s exterior without relying on power, internet, or human oversight. Installed directly onto cladding surfaces at regular intervals, SPYKE-GS delivers early detection and real-time alerts, offering critical minutes that save lives and prevent devastating structural loss.

  • Unlike traditional fire alarms that monitor interior spaces, SPYKE-GS is installed directly into building exteriors, monitoring the cladding itself. This ensures early heat detection on the façade—often the point where fires spread most rapidly. With one device installed every 16 feet, SPYKE-GS blankets the entire structure in continuous protection, activating instantly when critical heat thresholds are met.

  • SPYKE-GS requires no power, no internet connection, and no integration with a building’s electrical or alarm systems. Each device is mechanically activated by heat and transmits alerts via satellite from almost anywhere on Earth. This makes SPYKE-GS especially valuable during construction phases, power outages, or when other detection systems are offline, ensuring uninterrupted fire protection under all conditions.

  • Regulators and insurers now demand proactive fire mitigation measures for cladded structures. SPYKE-GS is a permanent, low-cost alternative to expensive human fire watch programs and complex retrofit systems. Its rapid installation, low per-unit price, and scalable coverage help property owners achieve compliance, reduce premiums, and protect occupants without extensive infrastructure changes or capital outlay.
