FreeComGP Dual Path Communicator

FreeComGP is a dual-path alarm signalling solution that uses two communication channels to reliably deliver alarm notifications. With this cost-effective solution suitable for any control panel, events are sent primarily over a secure GPRS network, with a PSTN line serving as backup.

FreeComGP is the perfect replacement for standard intruder digital communicators, as well as ideal for new installations. It uses Vodafone UK’s secure GPRS network as its primary signalling path to send alarm signals as packet data. A standard PSTN telephone line is used for backup in case the mobile data network is unavailable.
Both communication paths are constantly monitored to identify communication faults or cut lines. The FreeComGP automatically switches to the functioning path while alerting the alarm receiving center of the error.

How often does the FreeCom GP send test signals to the ARC?

By default, for each ARC added to the Freecom GP configuration, the FreeCom GP attempts to send a test signal every six hours in the following order:

1. Primary GPRS IP
2. Secondary GPRS IP
3. Primary Telephone number
4. Secondary Telephone number

As soon as the TEST signal gets through to the ARC, the function is terminated until six hours later. Thus, if all PATHS are OK, the Freecom GP unit will send a TEST signal by ‘Primary GPRS/IP’ only. Only if the GPRS/IP path fails, then and only then will the Freecom GP unit send its six hourly TEST signal via the Telephone line.
