Save Thousands of Security Budget Dollars Annually & Speed Alarm Response Times
All over the country, the old phone landlines your campus security and fire systems use to report alarms and summon help are disappearing. Upgrade your campus security to today’s code-compliant wireless cellular or cell/IP reporting in place of landlines, with StarLink Universal Alarm Communicators. They’re proven not only to reliably report alarms from virtually any panel brand, anywhere, but also to save thousands of budget dollars/year while helping save responders precious seconds with
Napco StarLink’s high-speed cyberprotected AT&T® or Verizon Network Certified® service.
Don’t just take our word for it, check out the actual savings at Houston ISD, TX, the 7th largest public school district in the US:
“We saved over $13,000 the first month updating HISD alarm reporting communications from 600 old POTs phone lines campus-wide to Napco StarLink Cellular Alarm Communicators. Even factoring in the equipment costs, which
are low – within a year, HISD net savings were over $165K; and by the 5th year, the savings were nearly
$840K. That’s a win-win f”or any security budget.
