Two thousand panels and a network shutdown notice
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Alarm panels report over cellular networks, and networks get retired. A notice arrives that the older one will be switched off, and thousands of customer panels will go silent unless each is upgraded.
What a consultant changes
An advisor helps plan the migration across carriers, with data plans priced for devices that send very little. Telecom Agency watches for the next change as well, because a broker working with every carrier hears about these dates early.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for security and alarm installers
- The advice
- An advisor compares cellular data plans for alarm panels and cameras across carriers and tracks network retirement dates that affect your installed base.
- The price
- Panels send very little data, and plans are priced accordingly. Volume across thousands of devices is used to negotiate.
- The service
- The advisor warns you early about network changes and helps plan upgrades in stages. One account view covers every connection.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
