Re: Suggestion for box where alarm monitoring failovers from landline to cell phone - when landline is cut.

["Roland Moore" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are many items like this one available. Probably a lot more coming due
to AMPS network issues.

GSM Universal Communicator GS3050A

  . 4 inputs for the activation of voice and SMS dialer (optional NC2/VOX
voice board required for voice dialer)
  . 2 SMS messages available on each input
  . Programmable voice/SMS dialer-channel activation
  . 8 telephone numbers available for the voice/SMS dialer function
  . 5 outputs (open collector)
  . Output control via SMS
  . Dual-band (900 MHz and 1800 MHz GSM networks)
  . SIM card programmable via any GSM cellphone or application-specific
software (WindowsT compatible)
  . Power input: 12 Volt DC
  An effective backup or alternative to traditional

  telephone lines, the GSM universal wireless alarm

  communicator (model GS3050-A) works by connecting

  the alarm control panel to the GSM network to

  provide protection against accidental line cuts caused

  by storms, construction or deliberate tampering. In the

  event of an alarm, the communicator assesses its

  connections to the phone line, and if that has failed,

  it then connects to the GSM network to send an alarm

  signal to the central monitoring station.
