And since requires a system to have a registered cellular communicator, you will need to upgrade to LTE cellular at some point or another. For reference, stopped allowing 3G and CDMA activations last year in 2019. You must upgrade to LTE so that your panel remains monitored. Once that happens, your 3G or CDMA communicator will no longer work, and your panel will no longer be capable of sending signals. Most cellular service providers plan on shutting down their older 3G and CDMA networks sometime in 2022. While this is fine for now, you will eventually need to upgrade to LTE. Check the firmware version requirements before purchasing any communicator.Īs of March 2020, it's possible that you may have an Interlogix NetworX or Concord 4 System that is using 3G or CDMA cellular communication. In those situations, the panel must be replaced. There are some NetworX and Concord Panels that are too old and cannot be upgraded to LTE. One other huge note that is very important to consider is that your panel must be on a high enough firmware version to support an LTE communicator. So if you see a GE NetworX Panel or a GE Concord System, then it is basically the same thing. It's important to note that the Interlogix Systems were previously sold under the GE banner rather than the Interlogix nameplate. In many cases, you can continue using your hardwired Interlogix Panel without issue. If you have a NetworX or Concord 4 System that is not using LTE communication, then you will want to either upgrade the system's communicator or replace the panel entirely. However, we do sell a variety of LTE communicators and dual-path communicators that work with these systems to get them monitored. Alarm Grid does not sell the actual Interlogix NetworX or Concord 4 Systems. This is very important for monitoring service to take place. You will need a monitoring plan that includes cellular connectivity.Īn alarm system uses a communicator to send and receive signals. You can upgrade an Interlogix NetworX or an Interlogix Concord 4 System to use LTE by powering down the panel, installing the communicator, powering the panel back on, and activating the communicator for monitoring service.
