Train. Respond. Succeed. SYGNAL turns the phones and tablets your team already carries into realistic gas detectors, so you can run live hazmat, confined-space and CBRN exercises anywhere. Instructors set the scenario and control every reading. Trainees see a real detector on their screen, walk into hazard zones and respond as they would on scene. Every movement and reading is recorded for review. NEW IN SYGNAL 7 • 3D Session Replay – Relive any exercise in 3D, with every responder's path, reading and hazard on the timeline. • Automatic After Action Reports – Generated after each exercise, ready to review with your team. • Facing Cones – See which way every responder is facing on the live map. • Realistic Oxygen Displacement – O₂ drops automatically as other gases displace the air, just like a real detector. • True-to-Life Sensor Ranges – Every gas reads to real detector limits and shows O/R above range, with decimal readings for low-range gases. REALISTIC DETECTORS • Customizable Detectors – Configure detector profiles, adjust sensors, and simulate readings for any scenario. • Active Hazard Zones – Users receive automatic readings when entering simulated hazard areas. • Live Wind Interaction – Dynamic wind effects influence hazard behavior in real time for realistic training outcomes. • Bump Test & Peak Hold – Validate detector response before deployment and capture peak values across each session. RUN THE EXERCISE • Create & Join Sessions – Launch scenarios quickly and invite participants via code or QR. • Hazard Simulation Tools – Add, scale, and modify hazards with responsive controls and live updates. • Role-Based Modes – Seamlessly switch between Host and Participant modes. • Offline Training with SYGNAL SOURCE – Run complete training sessions without internet connectivity using SYGNAL SOURCE devices. COMMAND & REVIEW • Interactive Map – Monitor users, hazards, plumes, and zones with clear, real-time visualization. Hybrid satellite view by default. • Live Trends Viewer – Track every reading over time, drill in by user or hazard, with high and low O₂ alarm thresholds visible at a glance. • Team Tracking & After-Action Review – Review movement, readings, and hazard timelines. Export sessions to KML for mapping tools. • Cloud Library Sync – Your scenarios and sessions, available across your devices. BUILT FOR YOUR AGENCY • Cross-Platform – Runs on the iPhones, iPads and Android devices your team already owns.
