Reaching a production milestone, Honeywell announces it has manufactured 50 million wireless transmitters used in the 5800 Series family of security and life safety products that include carbon monoxide (CO), glass-break and motion detectors, door contacts and key fob transmitters.
“In every technology sector, wireless communication continues to pave the way for innovation that makes businesses and everyday lives run smoother – the security industry is no exception,” says Ken Addy, CTO, Honeywell Security. “The use of wireless intrusion technology will continue to grow, representing great opportunities for dealers offering easier installation and more-reliable protection. This production milestone is a testament to wireless and the highly visible role we expect it to continue playing in our industry.”
Honeywell’s 5800 Series has grown to include more than 50 products used in residential and commercial applications. The number of wireless systems in the security technology industry has increased due to the combination of extended battery life, reliable transmission over long distances and simple installation.
Wireless intrusion devices have fueled new recurring monthly revenue (RMR) opportunities within the dealer/integrator community while providing up sell opportunities with wireless devices like environmental sensors, asset protection devices and outdoor motion sensors.
The 5800 transmitter series is designed for difficult-to-wire locations and was among the first in the industry to be used in combination with hybrid systems, multizone transmitters, key fob transmitters, combination smoke/temperature detectors, portable transceivers with voice annunciation and wireless RF keypad receivers.
