LAS VEGAS — M2M Services debuted its hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) business model centered around its alarm communicators at ISC West 2021.
The company displayed its two future-proof communicators, the MQ03-LTE-M-FIRE-AV and the MiNi-LTE-M-AV.
The MQ03-LTE-M-FIRE-AV commercial fire alarm communicator, which won an ESX Innovation Award earlier this year, has been praised for its efficiency, exceptional coverage and affordable cost, according to the company. M2M says the dual-SIM, dual-path radio is the only one of its kind on the market, supporting both AT&T and Verizon in the same device.
The MiNi-LTE-M-AV, a 5G-Ready residential alarm communicator, won a SIA New Product Showcase Award this year. It also supports both AT&T and Verizon in the same radio and the HaaS business model.
M2M says the $0-priced device came as an answer to the fact that capital expenditures appeared to be the main cost that alarm companies incur during technology sunsets, such as the upcoming 3G/CDMA one.
“In light of those events, we came up with a unique solution to the U.S. alarm companies: a business model where we give you the device for free, and subsequently, you only pay for the cellular service. The device comes with a lifetime warranty and an option for free upgrades in all network sunset events in the future” says Phillip Galaboff, chief strategy officer at M2M Services.
The offering can be accessed through the list of selected distributors available here.
