In this webinar, “Remote Supervision Communications Beyond POTS,” we will discuss the underlying problems with POTS connectivity at all levels of communication, the current alternatives that are being used and how cellular communications have impacted the industry. We’ll also explain the technology developed for it.
To further the understanding of how NFPA 72 applies to alternative communication paths, such as cellular, we will refer to specific codes and point out how UL Listed communicators can achieve compliance.
This presentation also compares concepts such as redundancy and supervision to highlight the benefits of cellular communication and the pros and cons of other technologies in fire alarm systems.
Finally, we will discuss new developments that make equipment installation easier and that provide extra layers of security to the overall system. Plus, we’ll take a deeper dive into emerging technologies like LTE-M and 5G, examine the use of existing technologies like LAN connectivity as a valid redundant option when coupled with cellular, and discuss the latest developments in multi-carrier technology that improve reliability and stability in cellular technology.
Those who tune into this presentation will…
- Learn the issues with POTS so they can be easily understood and explained to decision-makers.
- Understand NFPA code, UL requirements and what currently available technologies can be used.
- Learn the pros and cons of each communication technology to ensure that you can make an informed decision, taking costs, reliability and code compliance into account.
- Learn about the evolution of cellular technology and latest from that front.
