Lithuania is implementing one of the most advanced public warning modernization projects in the region. Led by the Fire and Rescue Department under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania, the initiative focuses on building a fully digital, efficient, and resilient national alerting infrastructure.
A key role in this transformation is played by Digitex, which delivered and integrated more than 450 siren controllers across the country.
Universal DSE-USC Controllers – the foundation of a unified national siren network
For the needs of this strategic project, Digitex designed and supplied DSE-USC universal siren controllers. These advanced devices provide full compatibility with every type of siren – electronic or electromechanical. This made it possible to unify legacy and modern siren installations into one consistent national system.
DSE-USC controllers ensure secure, redundant communication through multiple channels, including: encrypted TETRA digital transmission, IP-VPN connections and GSM networks.
Thanks to automatic failover between communication paths, the system remains fully operational even during crises or network overloads. The controllers continuously monitor all essential siren parameters: power status, temperature, cabinet condition, battery health, and the performance of amplifiers and speakers. All data is transmitted in real time to the digitexWAVE central software, supporting fast, informed decision-making by system operators.
Integration of over 450 warning sirens using universal Digitex DSE-USC controllers
Digitex has already integrated more than 450 warning sirens across Lithuania using universal DSE-USC controllers, which enable full compatibility between sirens of different generations and manufacturers within the national system. The entire infrastructure has been designed with high reliability in mind – the digitexWAVE software operates in several redundant locations, and the system is secured both against communication failures and interference through multiple transmission channels, as well as against IT infrastructure failure or sabotage thanks to extensive redundancy of key network components. As a result, the system ensures uninterrupted operation even in the event of significant disruptions or failure of one of the centers.
Project results: a future-proof public warning system for Lithuania
Thanks to the modernization, Lithuania now operates a scalable, unified and highly resilient public warning system powered by Digitex technology. Each siren communicates through at least two independent channels, ensuring readiness even in extreme conditions.
This large-scale initiative significantly enhances national security, building a robust infrastructure capable of supporting Lithuania’s public safety for years to come.
