Napco StarLink Connect MAX Universal Cell/IP Communicator & Hub
Product Description
The Napco StarLink Connect MAX Universal Cell/IP Communicator & Hub keeps your security system online through the use of both cellular and IP networks. This communication radio module maintains a continuous online connection with emergency responders and your mobile device via a SIM card for either AT&T or Verizon's 5G cellular networks and your local IP network. The Communicator's unique Dual Path technology allows the device to periodically (or on demand) switch between active networks based on the stronger signal strength to guarantee communication between your security system and emergency contacts. If an IP or cellular network is detected to be down, the Communicator will automatically swap to the other channel until the initial network connection is online again. The Communicator is backwards compatible with all major fire alarm control units (FACUs), including those that communicate using Contact ID and 4/2.
- Dual Path Technology automatically switches between active channels if one connection or network is noticeably weaker or fails
- Compatible with 15V control panels and Fire Alarm Control Units that communicate using Contact ID and 4/2
- Choose between sole path (cellular or IP) or dual path connection; Internet connection only required for video surveillance applications
- Patented Signal Boost signal amplification circuit and high-gain performance antenna for longer range and reliability
- Features advanced encryption to ensure that alarm signals are transmitted securely
- Full alarm reporting can be sent to any Central Station or connected Napco Gemini mobile app
- Over-the-Air Upgradeable Firmware for critical/mandatory updates
Why You Would Use This Product:
The Napco StarLink Connect MAX Universal Cell/IP Communicator & Hub is perfect for any sized security installation and keeps them continuously online for peace of mind and reliable operation. The dual path technology ensures that security systems, fire alarms, and other alarm systems are always transmitted reliably to your mobile device or third party security system. In the event of a local Internet network failure, the Communicator can still keep your system online via cellular connection, and vice versa. Additionally, the 5G connection capability future-proofs the system, making it a wise investment as telecommunications infrastructure evolves.
