All SecurU customers should be aware that their alarm systems’ cellular connection may need an upgrade in the near future. Most current security systems still use a wireless 2G cellular data connection to communication signals to their respective monitoring centres. If so, they need to be upgraded to 3G technology in the coming year.

Why Do I Need to Upgrade My Alarm System & What is a 2G Sunset?

Short for second-generation wireless telephone technology, 2G networks will be soon discontinued by ROGERS Wireless. This shift from 2G networks is dubbed as the 2G sunset. This is mainly due to the fact that there is an increase in smartphone and overall data use. In order for users to benefit from higher usage capacity, ROGERS has decided to discontinue 2G network and replace it with a higher cellular connection networks such 3G and up.

If you do not have a landline, it is most likely that you are using a 2G compatible GSM for your wireless alarm system in order for it to communicate with the monitoring station. With the discontinuation of the 2G network by telecommunications companies, such as ROGERS, your wireless system will not be able to communicate with the alarm monitoring service or the alarm dispatchers. Hence, for the system to work soundly and for it to communicate properly, it is imperative for SecurU customers, such as yourself, to upgrade their devices to 3G and up in the recent future. It is expected that by the early 2018, all 2G Wireless communication networks will be discontinued.
