I don't install GE stuff, so I can't help you there.  Ademco 5800
series wireless with newer panels have an anti-jam feature that can be
enabled in programming.  I personally do not enable it because it
causes more service calls.

The panel in native mode needs a dial tone, plus the tones a
communicator uses are not reproducible in a digital ad-hoc system you
propose.

That will work.  Because it's VOIP and tested with their equipment.
Keep in mind, if you have digital phone- when the power is out it will
not work.


You should go with a true cell backup unit for optimum redundancy.
Something like:
