u Secure Conettix IP communication from compatible
Bosch panels to Bosch receivers using Verizon 3G
EVDO/CDMA
The cellular communicator enables 3G EVDO and
CDMA secure two-way IP communication over the
Verizon cellular networks. Typical applications are:
• Alarm reporting to a central station
• Remote panel programming through Remote
Programming Software
• Remote monitoring and control through a mobile
application
• Personal notification using SMS
The cellular communicator is built for a wide variety of
secure commercial and industrial applications. Flexible
end-to-end path supervision, 128-bit to 256-bit AES
encryption and anti-substitution features make cellular
communicator especially suited for use in high security
and fire monitoring applications.
Developed for the military, CDMA technology offers
long service life with resistance to hacking and
jamming. The cellular communicator’s dual technology
radio uses high speed 3G EVDO when available or
switches to CDMA if required.
Note: Cellular capability requires an appropriate data
plan from Bosch.
