About the technology

What is Texecom Ricochet?

Ricochet is a form of wireless alarm technology created by Texecom - the UK's leading security equipment manufacturer - that underpins the most reliable wireless alarm system on the market. AMCO use Ricochet's technology as our core wireless alarm system.

Texecom created Ricochet based upon the realisation that most wireless alarm technology is unreliable, and that reliability is core to any security system. The point being that you need to know your security system will work at the exact moment you need it.

Core principle #1

Reliability & Scalability - built on Mesh Network

The two core principles of Texecom Ricochet are reliability and scalability - both of which are built on its Mesh Network technology.

What is a Mesh Network?

In a Mesh Network, each wireless device is capable of repeating messages from other wireless devices - creating a connected web of nodes rather than single direct links. The result: if one path is blocked, the signal simply finds another route.

Devices re-route to the best available path automatically
Connection failure is minimised - the network self-heals
Devices daisy-chain - unlimited scalability

Core principle #2

Self-healing vs. point-to-point

The diagram shows how Ricochet devices can re-route in the Mesh Network to 'self-heal' - maximising reliability even when walls, distance or interference would block a direct connection.

✓Mesh Network

Devices connect to each other
Signal re-routes if path is blocked
Greater range - daisy-chains across property
Self-healing on connection failure

✕Point-to-point

Each device connects only to the panel
One blocked path = lost connection
Limited range - struggles with thick walls
No fallback if signal fails

Why Ricochet wins

Six reasons Ricochet is the most reliable wireless alarm

Self-healing network

If one signal path is blocked, the network automatically re-routes through another device - connection is never lost.

Daisy-chain scalability

Add sensors anywhere on the property. Each new device strengthens the network rather than adding strain to it.

Long range & thick walls

Mesh routing allows signals to travel over large distances and through solid concrete, brick or stone walls.

Commercial-grade reliability

Ricochet was designed for commercial environments first - meaning domestic customers get commercial-grade protection.

Perfect for large properties

Point-to-point wireless fails in big homes. Ricochet's mesh architecture is engineered for exactly this scenario.

AMCO-recommended

Ricochet is the only wireless technology AMCO installs - because it's the only one we trust to be truly reliable.

Commercial-grade for homes

The best wireless alarm on the market

The sophistication of Ricochet wireless technology means that domestic customers can now install a commercial-grade wireless alarm system in their homes - giving the best and most reliable wireless alarm system in the UK market.

Ricochet's Mesh Network makes it the perfect wireless alarm for large houses and commercial properties, enabling sensors to connect over large distances and through thick walls that defeat standard wireless systems.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Ricochet is a wireless alarm technology created by Texecom - the UK's leading security equipment manufacturer. It uses a Mesh Network architecture, meaning each device can repeat signals from other devices, creating a self-healing, highly reliable wireless alarm network.

Standard wireless alarms use point-to-point connections - every sensor talks directly to the control panel, so if one signal is blocked, it fails. Ricochet's Mesh Network allows signals to re-route through other devices, minimising connection failure even through thick walls or over large distances.

Yes - this is one of Ricochet's biggest advantages. The Mesh Network allows sensors to daisy-chain, covering much greater distances and through thick walls than conventional wireless systems. It is the only wireless technology we recommend for large homes and commercial buildings.

Yes. AMCO use Texecom's Ricochet technology as our core wireless alarm system for both domestic and commercial installations. We believe it is the most reliable wireless alarm technology available in the UK market.
