Cellular Security
There are many questions people have when researching wireless and cellular home security. It can be confusing if you don’t know the differences.
Watch this four minute video with security expert, Peter Rogers, as he shares how wireless and cellular security work.
Questions from real consumers about Wireless and Cellular Security:
What is the difference between wireless and cellular security systems?
Wireless describes the way alarm sensors communicate with the alarm control panel, and cellular is how the control panel communicates to the outside world, meaning the central monitoring station that dispatches the authorities.
What is so great about cellular security and how can it be safe?
Cellular is the safest and most reliable way for an alarm system to communicate. It’s safer because there is no phone line that can be cut: plus, you do not need a phone or internet connection to be protected.
Is it the same cellular as I use in my cell phone?
The alarm system has its own standalone cellular device, and cellular communication for an alarm system only needs one bar. In fact, you don’t even need to have your own cell phone for the system to work.
Can you tell me how your cellular security works?
We use the GSM digital cellular platform – a highly reliable platform used by many cell phone companies like AT&T and T-Mobile.
Does the cellular equipment cost extra?
FrontPoint includes a cellular connection with all of our alarm systems, and we offer the most affordable cellular monitoring rates in the entire United States. While many alarm companies charge extra for cellular, we’ve gone out of our way to make it affordable, and have no hidden costs.
Can’t your cellular system be easily jammed?
This is a common misconception; our GE equipment has jam detection built in, and most burglars would not have the technical expertise to jam an alarm system. Intruders are much more likely to have a pair of wire cutters that could be used to disable a traditional alarm system.
Cellular is a safer, smarter, simpler, and affordable security technology. It’s a great security solution for any home or small business.
