Wireless EVC systems | Site emergency alarm systems | Deaf fire alarm systems
Our history
We supply wireless EVC systems — as well as fire alarm systems for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.
We’re proud to have been saving lives through technology for over 20 years.
The Alerter Group story started in 1988, with the inception of our first product, Deaf Alerter. Next, we launched our wireless EVC system, Refuge Alerter, and our Site Alerter product.
Today, we’re proud to have our products installed in thousands of buildings up and down the UK, helping millions of disabled, Deaf and Hard of Hearing people in the process.

Control at the touch of a button
We made our biggest improvement on the Refuge Alerter system to date – an intuative, touch screen ‘control centre’ capable of monitoring up to 999 Refuge locations.
New year, new us
In 2017, we made the big decision to change the company name – rebranding from Deaf Alerter to Alerter Group. This was to bring our core products and services under the ‘Alerter’ umbrella.
