Q. What

Q. I have
a security system now. Does Uplink replace my current system?
A. Uplink works with your existing system. In fact some of our partners like GE Security and Brinks have integrated Uplink into their systems as a customer option. Think of Uplink as a specialized cell phone that is connected to your existing security system. When an alarm, or status message, is triggered on your security system, the Uplink device transmits the signal to your monitoring service over the Uplink cellular network. |

Q. I have
an alarm monitoring service; do I have to change to a different
service with Uplink? A. You should be able to stay with your existing service. Uplink is not a monitoring service. We provide a secure dedicated cellular link from your alarm system to the monitoring service. If the phone lines are down, or even if you don't have phone service, the alarm will be delivered over the Uplink cellular network to your monitoring service. |

|
Q. How do
I know if Uplink will work with my existing alarm system? A. Some security products force you to use their monitoring service with their security systems. At Uplink we believe in customer choice and interoperability, and that philosophy is what sets Uplink apart. Uplink works with virtually all alarm panels and monitoring services. To be absolutely certain, contact your system provider or call Uplink customer service first. |

|
Q. How
long does it take to install Uplink? A. Your alarm dealer can typically install uplink and have you operational in fewer than 30 minutes. |

Q. Will
Uplink work in my mountain cabin? A. CellemetryXG provides the Uplink network and is the most expansive, terrestrial-based, wireless, telemetry, data network in the Americas. Couple this network with Uplink transceivers, the most powerful transmitters in the industry, and you see how we can say; "Beach house to mountain cabin, Maine to Mexico we've got you covered." |

|
Q. I am
considering using my cell phone at home without a telephone
line. Can I use Uplink? A. A telephone line is not required with Uplink. Alarm messages are delivered to your monitoring service over the dedicated cellular link. If you do have a phone line the alarm is delivered over both the cellular link and the telephone line. The Uplink link can act as a primary or secondary line. Remember that Uplink can also deliver the alarm to your pager, cell phone or email. |

|
Q. Will
Uplink work with VOIP? A. More businesses and consumers are moving toward wireless-only phone service and broadband services providing Voice Over IP (VoIP) for their primary communications service. Because Uplink leverages machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, any data signal or message can be instantly relayed over Numerex's industry leading CellemetryXG™ wireless data network for immediate action. |
|||
|
Q. I have
a wireless security system now. Why would I need Uplink? A. A wireless security system usually refers to window, door and motion sensors that are wirelessly connected to a control panel. The control panel typically communicates with the monitoring service over telephone lines. With Uplink, that same control panel communicates with the monitoring service over dedicated cellular links. If you keep the phone line it is backed up with cellular. If you don't have a phone line the cellular link provides the communications. |
