3G/4G Sunset – LTE is the Future

April 1, 2021

In the event of an alarm, make sure your system communicates to your monitoring center. Both AT&T and Verizon will discontinue their cellular networks required to operate 3G cellular devices soon. They’re migrating away from the old telecommunication technology and adopting the faster and more efficient Long-Term Evolution or LTE.


As a result of this 3G shut down, every security panel with that old network will stop working.
