UControl is a box thats designed to mount beside and interface with a Vista
or DSC Power series panel, it communicates through either broadband, wifi or
cellular. you hook a phone into it and the device will intercept the call
and UControl will route the signal.

It works pretty well, hardware is solid and the interface is easy to use,
I've got 2 units up and running now
