When you pick up the phone to make a call and the line is dead, it can be a nuisance. When the phone line connecting your alarm system to the central station is dead, it can be a disaster. Whether the outage is due to an intentional line cut by an intruder, a maintenance problem, vandalism, fire, accident or storm, the effect is the same. Your central station has no way of monitoring your signals. So they cannot advise the proper authorities if there is a fire, a burglary or other emergency.
Radio is the answer.
Radio uses an extensive network of long range wireless radio transmitting and receiving sites to instantly process information and send messages to our central station should your phone line connection be disabled. Signals are received by strategically located antenna sites, then retransmitted to our central station to provide an effective backup to your regular phone-line monitoring. Your phone system will still be subject to occasional failures. The difference will be that the back-up system will instantly take over and continue the monitoring of your alarm signals. If there's an emergency, the proper authorities will be notified.
