FCC Rule Change Requires Cellular-Based Back-Up Monitoring Transmitters to be replaced! Effective February 18, 2008, cellular providers (USA) will no longer be required to maintain the analog channel of the cellular network (800 MHz). Since most back-up alarm services, use the analog cellular channel to transmit signals, alarm customers receiving this vital service could risk the potential elimination of back-up monitoring unless other provisions are made. This also includes Honeywell's AlarmNet C, Telular, Uplink, DSC's Sky Route, Numerex and similar cellular-based products. Bell Mobility, Telus Mobility and Rogers Wireless all operate AMPS networks in Canada, though they have since been overlaid with digital services. Rogers Wireless is currently in the process of decommissioning their AMPS network, will full shutdown expected to occur in May 2007. Both Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility have announced that they will observe the same shutdown guidelines as in the United States, and will not begin decommissioning their AMPS networks until after February 2008.
