RHC I evaluated the equipment last year, It was my opinion that the radios
were sub-par in construction, the setup and programming for DSC panels was
bizarre to say the least. Also the central station receiver looked behind
the times although I think it was a temporary demo unit

The biggest problem is it's a private radio network that must be setup in a
particular area, while it may have good coverage in Canada they only had 3
or 4 cities covered during my evaluation.

You are far better off in my opinion with any of the current GSM cellular
units
