How does it compare to wi-fi or cellular service, when used to monitor your<\/strong> Security or Fire Alarm Systems?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With so many security alarm companies advertising their all-wireless security alarm systems, at what APPEARS to be incredibly low prices, Jade Alarm Co. CHOOSES to stand behind hard-wired security\/fire systems and their True Digital Radio Network<\/a> they\u2019ve built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have a security or fire alarm system installed, you expect it to work when needed. In order for an alarm signal to make it to an alarm company\u2019s Central Station<\/a> and them to respond\/dispatch proper authorities, you need a RELIABLE communication source. There are several different communication methods used on intrusion and fire alarm systems, including: Internet, Cellular, Telephone Lines, and Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio is the ONLY communication method, NOT effected by cell phone jammers or cellular network outages, Internet outages, phone lines being cut\/going down, or power outages. If ANY of these things occur, your security or fire alarm system becomes useless and can have disastrous results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is for these reasons Jade Alarm\u2019s owner, Joe Pfefer, decided to find a better option for his valued customers after having unfortunate experiences with hard copper lines and cellular type of \u2018security\u2019 systems \u2013 that were in fact, not. Joe wanted to obtain a product that was designed and manufactured for life safety<\/em><\/strong> and not for entertainment as lives and property were at stake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1983, Jade Alarm installed its first communication tower in the Kansas City area and the radio network has expanded ever since. We now have fourteen alarm data repeater sites located throughout the Kansas City Metropolitan area and continuing to grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1992, Jade Alarm installed the FIRST US based alarm radio intelligent network and due to Jade Alarm\u2019s continued expansion, Jade Alarm now has the largest network of its type in the US per the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, after over a year in testing, Jade Alarm received authorization from local Fire Marshals to use our FireNet radio for monitoring life-safety commercial service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
