What you missed at the

seminar is for Company Owners, Managers, Salespeople, and Technicians–
Honeywell Security & Custom Electronics - AlarmNet-G
&
IPVideo Corporation
Honeywell Security & Custom Electronics - AlarmNet-G
By Gary Thornhill
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established February 18, 2008,
as the date after which cellular carriers may choose to discontinue support of
analog wireless networks known as AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Services).
Referred to as the “Sunset Clause,” it ensures that carriers provide existing
services up until that date.
Since this technology is used by our AlarmNet-C service, we want to explain what
this means and describe our plans are for using digital wireless networks with
GSM technology. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the most
popular standard for mobile telephones in the world.
What It Means
Cellular carriers may choose to maintain support of the AMPS service beyond
February 18, 2008. It does not mean that cellular carriers must drop support
after this date. Due to the use of the AMPS network in the security industry
coupled with other industries that also utilize this network, it is possible
that the services will continue beyond the Sunset Clause date. This decision is
solely at the discretion of the cellular carrier. AlarmNet, Honeywell, and our
customers are potential casualties of the FCC’s Sunset Clause and the decisions
carriers make regarding whether or not to discontinue AMPS service.
AlarmNet-G

This exclusive network was developed to support new digital technologies and
services which are replacing analog networks. Our new
family of groundbreaking products utilizes GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) technology, which was designed specifically for digital wireless
communication. We have incorporated GSM’s two services –
GPRS and SMS – into our products. This enables you to offer your
customers enhanced features such as alarm notification to a cell phone and
provides you with such cost reducing features as uploading and downloading
to control panels without the need for traditional
telephone lines.
