Since the emergence of the internet, telecommunication became one of the main pillar of modern economy. This extended to higher levels in which ordinary people can`t lose their mobile or internet coverage. Hence, a fire event in a telecommunication facility may contribute harmful effects on both business and life comfort levels. Telecommunication infrastructure involves datacenters of different sizes and capabilities. A fire event in these datacenters would result in significant economic losses and business disruption. Telecommunication equipment as well as datacenters do not interact with water as an extinguishing agent, however; portions of a telecommunication facility that do not contain telecommunication equipment may still be extinguished using water. It`s common to protect a telecommunication facility with sprinkler system, standpipe system and fire extinguishers as well fire alarm system. Rooms that contains telecommunication equipment and datacenters is normally protected by clean agent fire extinguishing systems. If impractical, high pressure water mist system is an acceptable alternative. Telecommunication cabinets may be protected with local application pre-engineered system.
