Ensuring Guest Safety at ABBA Voyage Arena with AlarmCallPro+
Large arenas can be challenging to manage, even more so when ensuring the safety of every guest, visitor, and staff member. That’s why the team at the ABBA Voyage Arena partnered with CST to implement a robust fire safety communication system.
With AlarmCall Pro+, Fire Marshals are instantly alerted in the event of an emergency, enabling them to take swift, decisive action. Whether evacuating the arena or investigating an alert, staff can respond with confidence and clarity, all without unnecessary disruption to shows or events.
How it works
When smoke or fire is detected, a message is immediately sent to Fire Marshal pagers. Marshals have a three-minute window to assess the situation and determine whether the alarm is genuine or a false alert.
- If it’s a false alarm, the system can be reset quickly to avoid interrupting the performance.
- If a real fire is confirmed, or if multiple smoke detectors are triggered, the system goes into full alarm mode, ensuring a coordinated emergency response.
The Result
CST’s Fire Marshal Paging System provides ABBA Voyage Arena with a dependable, high-performance solution that enhances safety without compromising the guest experience. By combining fast response times with intelligent alert filtering, the system ensures peace of mind for both staff and visitors, making it an essential part of venue operations.

Minimising Disruptions, Maximising Safety
Special effects like smoke machines are common in arena productions, often triggering false alarms. Our system is designed to differentiate between these effects and actual fire threats. In fact, 97% of fire alarm activations are false, typically triggered by a single smoke head. CST’s intelligent system filters these out, dramatically reducing false evacuations and show stoppages.
