Bold GSM and GPRS alarm signalling devices can be installed with any control panel capable of generating an output and used over any standard mobile network, anywhere in the world.  They are typically deployed where there is no landline or as wireless backup to provide dual path signalling.GSM devices use the voice channel to communicate the industry standard Contact ID protocol to alarm receiving centres, as well as SMS messages, with plain event descriptions, which can be received on an ordinary mobile phone.  The GPRS transmitters can be used to convert existing alarm panels to signal Contact ID and Fast Format over the IP and mobile data network, supporting up to three signalling paths.

All devices can be handled in Bold’s monitoring solutions, are supported by our technical team and provide the complete solution for wireless alarm communications.

GSM LineGuard Alarm Transmitter
The Bold LineGuard is a simple, easy-to-use communications device which can be deployed either to replace or back up a PSTN landline.  The LineGuard is the most cost-effective way of transforming existing digicom panels into dual-path signalling devices.

In the event of a communications failure, the LineGuard sends a comms fail message to up to two mobile phones – perfect for alerting the security or facilities manager to a problem. The LineGuard can then ensure any further activations are transmitted using Contact ID to an alarm receiver at an ARC.

For example, if an intruder cuts the analogue telephone line, the LineGuard will signal the Intruder Alarm to the monitoring centre over the GSM network. The Pager uses a standard voice SIM card from any mobile network operator and with a minimal talk time tariff, provides a cost-effective dual-signalling solution.
