Reliable, Low Cost Tulsa and OKC Fire Alarm and Security Monitoring - MacNet Wireless Monitoring

Fire alarm and security system monitoring for your Tulsa or OKC business is essential to protecting a company, especially when no one is there to call the police or department. Many of these Oklahoma alarm monitoring systems depend on telephone, VoIP, or cellular phone lines for monitoring, and these can have noteworthy drawbacks.

Perhaps the most customary monitoring has been using two analog telephone lines. While telephones are available in many locations, these lines can add a considerably high monthly cost to monitoring, and there is little control over the network. Problems with the phone company, line cuts, bad weather, and other issues could paralyze the system. There is also no redundant communications path with these phone lines.

Cellular lines and VoIP systems have similar shortcomings. There is a high recurring cost and often limited network coverage. Wired connections can be cut, and cellular frequencies can be jammed preventing the capability to transmit alarm data. There are also at times expensive upgrades and infrastructure changes to deal with or mandatory hikes in fees. Satellite and private tower radios have also high fees with high equipment costs.
