DSC GS3055-I GSM radios

I received this message (below) from a central station we use about the DSC GS3055-I. The names have been removed to protect the innocent when speaking the truth (without getting a lawyer full of trouble).

This message is to serve as a notice that XXXXX is asking all of our Alarm Dealers to hold off on installing any more DSC 3055-I units until further notice as it seems that the service is unstable. This is temporary, but we want to make sure we are taking every precaution we can to protect everyone's customers. As soon as I have more information, I'll let you know.

The service is unstable? It's GSM cellular and Internet

I understand that ADT installed a bunch here in the Vancouver market and had to replace them all.

You may want to look at the following web site:

I am only cutting and pasting the email I was sent. Since the central station is not a technical resource, I don't know if she knew shat she meant to say.

When did this email come out? I know the initial batch had an issue running on the Rogers network in Canada due to some sginal that Rogers used to send out to poll unit that caused the radios to go to sleep for

Yup, Uplink by Telalink is the only backup device I use personally. It only sends generic fire and burg but that is all that is needed for backup. I was looking at the new DSC unit but they want a year contract on that so I nixed that in a hurry. Now it seems they are also having problems with the device.

Telalink have a good deal on now for replacement of their older analog Uplink devices. Might pay to take a closer look.

Uplink and Telalink are not the same thing. Uplink is the brand name of Numerex inc. The radio technology and network are striclty the proper of Numerex and Uplink LLC. Anyone that is making a claim the contrary is factually incorrect. That said Uplink has several aggresive programs for replacing the analog devices. Feel free to call us at 888-9UPLINK. 888-987-5465

Uplink uses the standard GSM cellular network while Telalink uses a proprietary network where at least in the US is limited to a small number of cities
