The End of the Line
The End of the Line
What does this mean for your alarm?
Typically, many legacy intruder alarm systems have sent signals the Monitoring Centre via the telephone line. Those that do depend on just the copper telephone line will need to take some action. Telecoms companies throughout the UK are now installing full fibre networks to replace the traditional copper network. Already our local provider Wightfibre, is rolling out full fibre installations across the Isle of Wight.
For several years now Lifeline have been at the forefront of technology. Since the late 1990’s, many of our systems have been communicating using the GPRS network and PSTN as part of a ‘Dualpath’ solution. Now, using ‘WorldSim’ technology our fire and security systems can signal to the monitoring station using the GPRS network only or a combination of this and IP. A simple swap from your telephone to a GPRS unit, will provide you with continuity of service. The DualCom DigiAir utilises all mobile networks, via a WorldSIM, to signal an alarm from a protected premises to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Designed for low to medium risk premises, it is an ideal upgrade for wired digital communicators using PSTN telephone lines.
The Advantages
Now, with no exposed cable, your telephone line is no longer a vulnerable part of your security system primary communications path. Secondly, GPRS based systems will not incur any call charges and finally the communications will not be reliant on voltage from a telephone line.
We are dedicated to ensuring that your Fire and Security systems will continue to signal effectively even after the big switch off. Working in partnership with world leading communications experts, CSL Communications, Lifeline have been rolling out the latest GPRS signalling solutions for the past few years, with a partnership that goes back over 20 years.
