SMART ALARMS & MONITORING

NBN Cutover & Alarm Compatibility: What Perth Property Owners Need to Know

Why legacy copper phone line alarms fail on fibre networks, and how 4G LTE dual-path communicators protect you from communication dropouts.

As the National Broadband Network (NBN) completes its rollout across Western Australia, traditional copper telecommunication lines are decommissioned. For property owners with older alarm panels that relied on dial-up telephone reporting, this transition presents a critical vulnerability.

Critical NBN Power Outage Fact

Unlike old copper lines that carried their own low-voltage electricity, your NBN modem and optical network terminal (ONT) shut down immediately during a mains power cut. If an intruder cuts power, a standard modem-connected alarm cannot dial out.

The Solution: 4G/5G Dual-Path IP Communicators

Upgrading your security panel with an industrial 4G LTE communicator disconnects your security dependency from the copper grid entirely. Signals route across encrypted Telstra and Optus cellular networks directly to our Perth-based ASIAL Grade A1 monitoring facility.

  • Polled Heartbeat Testing: The monitoring station checks in with your panel every 60 seconds. If cellular jamming or line cuts occur, guards are alerted immediately.
  • Smartphone Arming & Disarming: Control your alarm, check sensor status, and view event history from anywhere in the world.
  • Battery-Backed Autonomy: Even during storm blackouts, the panel and cellular communicator continue operating uninterrupted for up to 24 hours.
