Yes, communication takes place via secure IP connections and VPN tunnels in a closed user group, which guarantees a very high level of security.

Alerting with GroupAlarm and Pager F.R.E.D. is fast, especially for large-scale operations. LTE-M and NB-IoT as well as the use of multiple mobile networks enable reliable and fast delivery of alarms, even in the event of short-term loss of reception.

Mobile networks offer almost comprehensive coverage, which is particularly advantageous in peripheral areas and difficult topography. Dedicated radio networks often have problems here, especially in remote areas. In addition, the LTE-M and NB-IoT used by the pager F.R.E.D. offers better building penetration.

Thanks to mobile technology and a roaming dual SIM solution in the international LTE CAT M1 standard, Pager F.R.E.D. offers outstanding redundancy. While its own radio networks are limited in their range, the pager can flexibly log into the strongest available mobile network, which means it can always be reached. For even more redundancy, additional accessibility options such as app, call, SMS and e-mail are available via GroupAlarm.

Communication is secured by the patented IP-based data protocol. Encrypted messages and VPN tunnels guarantee the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of data transmission.

The F.R.E.D. pager enables genuine two-way communication with acknowledgement of receipt and user feedback after alarming. Continuous status messages improve monitoring and facilitate fault detection.

Although the acquisition costs for GroupAlarm and Pager F.R.E.D. initially appear high, the total cost of ownership is lower. Using existing mobile networks also eliminates the cost of setting up and maintaining your own infrastructure.

The alarm system consisting of GroupAlarm and the F.R.E.D. pager is available from GroupAlarm and HK.DIGITAL GmbH.
