Numerex Advances Its Uplink Security Product Suite
New FD-1000 Delivers Full Data Communications and Reporting for Commercial and Residential Security
ATLANTA, April 2, 2008 -- Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ:NMRX), the leading provider of full-service, highly secure M2M network services and solutions, today announced the expansion of the Uplink security product suite to include the Uplink FD-1000 module. To be used with any existing Uplink AnyNET product, the Uplink FD-1000 provides full data communications and reporting capabilities for commercial and residential security alarm panels, and represents the first in a series of new wireless communicators designed to serve the needs of fire and security dealers and integrators.
"Numerex's Security Solutions division is once again responding to the needs of security dealers and integrators to provide full data reporting from any alarm panel to any central station or end user, without the need for proprietary hardware," said Mike Marett, COO of Numerex. "Dealers want a reliable, cost effective solution that will work in all installations, is easy to install, provides real-time activations, flat-rate service pricing, and automated testing -- without the need for specialized installation tools and central station hardware or software."
The Uplink AnyNET is a cost effective wireless communicator that supports all security alarm panels and provides cellular backup or primary alarm communications to central stations and end users. The new Uplink FD-1000 expands the capabilities of the Uplink AnyNET by providing universal alarm panel compatibility with the added support of standard security industry protocols, Contact ID and SIA (Security Industry Association).
Numerex plans to broaden its Uplink full data product suite later this year with the addition of a fully integrated product solution and satellite based product solution. The goal of the expanded Uplink suite is to give security dealers and integrators a better choice for new installations as well as more options during the analog to digital conversion taking shape today. For customers that want full data reporting today, Uplink FD-1000 is a simple, small form factor snap-on option that works with virtually any panel. This capability will reduce the amount of inventory that dealers are forced to carry in the field as well as enable dealers to manage all of their accounts and devices through Uplink's single web portal.
Uplink security solutions serve the physical security market with single-source wireless communication solutions for security dealers, central stations, and end users. As one of the most cost effective end-to-end wireless security solution available, Uplink security products provide easy web-based administration through a secure internet portal allowing security dealers and central stations to activate and manage their devices and accounts. Wireless network coverage is available in the United States, Canada and parts of the Caribbean.
Numerex is accepting pre-sale orders for the Uplink FD-1000 now in anticipation of commercial delivery to dealers in April. For additional product information visit www.uplink.com/ or contact Uplink Sales at 888-987-5465. Email: sales@uplink.com
