It's 2 A.M. and intruders have just cut the phone lines to the strip mall where your business is located. Without a way to dial up the monitoring station, the new security system you installed last week can only sound an alarm into the night...maybe someone will drive by and hear it.

Over 90 percent of all fixed alarm monitoring systems are wireline dependent and vulnerable to service interruption if phone lines are cut. Monitored security is a must, especially for remote sites and equipment but monitoring doesn't help if the alarm signal never reaches the central station.
