The alarm line the phone company stopped supporting
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Fire panels have reported over copper phone lines for decades. Those lines are being retired, the price of keeping one has multiplied, and the notice arrived in a bill insert.
What a consultant changes
Telecom Agency helps contractors and their customers move to approved cellular and internet communicators, choosing providers that meet the code in force locally. This is specialised ground, and a broker who deals with it every week will know the options a general sales rep does not.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for fire protection contractors
- The advice
- The advice concerns replacing copper alarm lines with communicators that meet the code enforced locally, and comparing the providers who supply and monitor them.
- The price
- Copper line charges are set against the cost of approved cellular or internet alternatives, so you and your customers can see the difference. Quantity pricing is negotiated across the panels you maintain.
- The service
- The advisor tracks each replaced line and helps with the paperwork an inspector may ask for.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
