FCC Ruling Affects Cellular Communications

8/2/2007
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set February 18, 2008 as the final deadline for customers to use analog cellular equipment for their security communication system (backup or primary). If you currently use a cellular communication device, this ruling may affect you. CALL EEI at 813-264-1907 to confirm.

EEI Security is currently soliciting bids from industry providers for the most advanced digital cellular communication device available to replace your obsolete analog system. The new digital equipment is superior to analog and will provide more options for usage and dependability. You will be notified in writing as to the cost and how to schedule an appointment for the upgrade.
Please keep in mind that EEI Security has several hundred of analog systems that need to be changed by February 18, 2008. Please don’t delay making your appointment as we must start scheduling change-outs immediately. We appreciate your confidence in EEI Security and this opportunity to continue providing you with cutting-edge technology for your security system. Call us today at (813) 264-1907.

High Speed Options Can Affect Service

Many people are turning to high speed communication options for their phone and internet access. DSL provides people with high speed internet access right through their phone line in a way similar to a cable modem. You do not notice any difference in the way your phone works. HOWEVER, your alarm works on a slower baud rate than the DSL service. This situation is cleared up with the addition of a filter on your phone line at the alarm panel. If you have signed up for DSL service, please give us a call so we can help you keep your security system working correctly.

The newest kid on the block is called "Voice Over IP" which uses your high speed internet connection to provide you with your phone service (VONAGE is one popular example). When a customer signs up for "Voice Over IP" and cancels their regular phone service, we might need to make some changes to keep the security system connected to the monitoring station. Please call us so that we can evaluate your individual needs.

Effective September 1st 2008

Because of the increase in gas, auto insurance, and vehicle repair we regrettably must add a $25.00 trip charge for all service calls. Labor charges will remain the same.
