Alarm Communications

                              


The POTS (Plain-Old Telephone Service (“POTS”) business is in terminal decline, is unsustainable, and is in a death spiral.

Today, less than 20% of Americans rely exclusively on POTS for voice service. 700,000 lines are being cut every month.

By 2011, there may be up to 45 million total VoIP (Voice over IP) subscribers.

Older alarm systems, (and many of todays), were made to transmit signals to the central station over these regular phone lines.  If you have an alarm system and have switched to VoIP, your alarm system might not transmit correctly. And all VoIP connections are not the same.

That is why Asset Protection & Alarms is please to present you with alarm options to work with your existing phone infrastructure.  

• If you have a POTs lines in your home or business and are committed on keeping it, we can transmit the alarm signal over your standard POTs line.
• If you do not have a POTs line, we can transmit the alarm signal over the Cellular Network (GSM radio)
• If you do not have a POTs line, we can transmit the alarm signal over your internet connection.
• Or if you like we can utilize all three (POTs, internet and GSM), or 2 out of the 3 to make sure you signal gets to the central station.

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile. It has a dual path of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) service with SMS (Short Message Service)(text messaging) back up
