Doug  be sure and check with the agency that regulates fire alarms in your
area..
Here in Kentucky USA their still using the NFPA 2002 rules with no
EXCEPTIONS  and cellular fire monitoring is NOT Allowed...
(were still using pots lines for fire monitoring)

It would be a TG7GFD04 http://www.telguard.com/Products/Fire/TG7FS.aspx
which is a 3G/4G  commercial fire alarm communicator, I have used many other
Telguard products for security alarms, but this would be the first cellular
fire alarm communicator I have used.
I'm a little concerned that the 5 minute check in requirement when used as
the sole path  http://www.telguard.com/Solutions/PrimaryFire.aspx may
generate too many issues.

At this point I'm not 100% if it can be used as a sole path commercial fire
communicator in California, I'm just looking at the options


Thanks

Doug
