data channel to provide wireless communication solutions for
Paradox control panels. It offers reliable and fast communication

used as a backup to a traditional landline, or as a primary
communicator where no landline is available. It also adds remote
home control capabilities to a system, allowing you to arm/
disarm with a simple text message (SMS). Feel safe by taking
