Many security systems rely on the 3G network to communicate in an emergency. However, the major cellular carriers are rapidly replacing 3G with LTE, creating a serious security risk for many Temecula Valley residents and businesses.
The 3G Sunset and Your Security System
You may not be familiar with the phrase “3G Sunset”, but if you rely on the protection of a security system for your home or business, it’s critically important that you understand what it is and how it may affect your security.
In short, the cellular carriers (AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile) are replacing 3G with LTE. This means that if you have a security system that relies on 3G to communicate during an emergency such as a fire, burglary or robbery, you may not get a response from the authorities if your system has not been upgraded ahead of time.
Many security systems communicate via the 3G cellular network. Without a radio upgrade to LTE, these systems will be unable to communicate with their central monitoring station after the 3G Sunset.
How Do I Know if My Security System is Affected?
If you have a proactive, customer-focused security company, they should have already contacted you if your system requires an upgrade.
Unfortunately, far too many security companies are “behind the curve” on this critical issue, leaving their customers in the dark and potentially vulnerable.
If your security company has not provided guidance, we are more than happy to assist to determine if your system needs an upgrade.
