Simon 3 GSM cellular module by GE
Security
of Bradenton, Fla., adds cellular communication capability to the
residential
Simon security system and fits within existing Simon 3 housing. The
wireless
cellular module’s built-in power management algorithm enables
it to operate
reliably for more than 24 hours during a persistent power outage. It
uses the
GPRS protocol on the GSM network and is supported by more than 30 U.S.
cellular
network providers. Integration of the cellular module extends to the
Simon
keypad, providing simple diagnostics on the panel and making module
troubleshooting easy, according to GE.
