AlarmNet To GSM Conversion From Older To Be Discontinued Analog Technologies Statement From Honeywell Direct:  http://www.security.honeywell.com/clar/eng/news/press_releases/82989.html

SYOSSET, N.Y., Sept. 14, 2006 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today introduced the alarm industry’s first line of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology products that use dual and triple communication paths to ensure highly reliable alarm transmission and delivery. This communication platform enables dealers to expand services and increase the value of their accounts. Honeywell’s radios, which use General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and the Internet as primary communication paths, are designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the future, expand the dealer’s customer base, and maintain and increase recurring monthly revenue (RMR).

Additionally, this end-to-end solution in combination with the AlarmNet backbone – the industry’s premier wireless alarm communication network – will help dealers seamlessly transition customers to the latest digital technology as current radios that use analog Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) networks are phased out. Already dwindling, the use of analog systems is expected to further decline after Feb. 18, 2008, the date on which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has said cellular carriers can discontinue support of the AMPS networks – known commonly as the “Sunset Clause.”

“These ground-breaking products offer customers a complete, long-term solution to challenges presented by the Sunset Clause, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and premises without phone lines, while giving dealers a new opportunity to grow their businesses,” said Ron Rothman, president of Honeywell Security and Custom Electronics. “The advanced design of our solution allows for a quick and easy installation, and a smooth transition to this technology.”

Existing Honeywell analog cellular alarm radios can be easily replaced with the newest GSM GPRS technology. The dual-path technology (7845GSM) utilizes GPRS as the primary communication path with Short Message Service (SMS) as the backup communication path. GPRS is a reliable wireless communication method widely used in the cell phone market. It has a higher priority in the cellular network to minimize transmission delays and increases the amount of data that can be reliably delivered. Honeywell also offers a triple-path technology radio (7845i-GSM) that adds Internet communication to the GRPS and SMS signals.

This communication technology allows for new alarm service capabilities. For instance, it enables users to control an alarm system via cell phone using text messaging, a laptop computer or a Web-enabled PDA. Dealers can also have full upload and download capabilities via GPRS or the Internet. Honeywell’s GSM GPRS radio comes standard with a power supply and rechargeable battery capable of providing 24-hour backup.

“Technology is constantly evolving, and our new GSM GPRS solutions will provide a strong foundation for future growth by offering alarm companies a wide range of services they, in turn, can provide customers,” Rothman said. “Honeywell has designed its GSM GPRS solution with the future in mind.”
