Information Regarding Cellular Models

When would a Cellular solution be appropriate? It is a good solution when running
cabling for landline or VoIP is c ost prohibitive. The c ellular option is most c ommonly used
with an emergency phone which is using solar power. This allows the emergency phone
to be locat ed in remote locations.

The c ellular emergenc y phones are available in the two most common cellular
tec hnologies used in North America, GSM and CDMA. GSM is found worldwide as well.

GSM carriers: AT&T and T- Mobile and typically have a SIM c ard

CDMA carriers: Sprint and Verizon

Key Features:

Works with most cellular providers (not Nextel)
End user contracts directly with a c ellular provider
Installed and programmed at the fac tory
Remote programming with GSM carrier
GSM & CDMA compatible (select when ordering towers)
