Cellular communicator

by Mark Rowe

Tyco Security Products introduces the DSC GS4005 / 3G4005 Universal Cellular Communicator. It’s designed for residential and commercial alarm systems as a way to migrate to wireless communications.

The Universal Communicator enables the upgrade of almost any existing PSTN alarm panel to GSM/3G connections. That’s for eliminating the risk of an intruder disabling communication by cutting the phone wire; and provides cost savings and added convenience for customers who want to switch from landlines to mobile phones.

Users can besides remotely arm and disarm their system using a mobile device and receive detailed notifications on alarms through voice and SMS notifications and commands. Basic smart home features, such as the control of smart light switches, are also enabled.

Aitor Gauna, EMEA Product Marketing Manager, Intrusion, Tyco Security Products, said: “Our universal communicators provide a cost-effective and seamless path to a more robust and secure wireless security system as well as to advanced functionality and basic smart home functions that instantly add value and extend the usefulness of an existing system. Our industry’s transition to cellular communications is essential not only for end users but also for telecom companies whose goal is to replace legacy PSTN networks with a full Voice over IP infrastructure.”

For customers looking to upgrade without the expense of a new alarm system, the Universal Communicator extends the life of the alarm panel by enabling customers without landlines to continue to use their PSTN-only panels. Customers can also switch to lower-cost mobile communication in areas where landline costs are higher.
