DERIVED CHANNEL MULTIPLEX - Networks

These proprietary data networks, known as DERIVED CHANNEL MULTIPLEX (DCX), provide a reliable and secure transmission medium for high grade burglar and fire alarm signals as well as other critical event monitoring messages. DCX is unique in that it "piggybacks" on a standard, existing voice telephone line without interfering with a customer’s normal voice use of the line. With DERIVED CHANNEL, there is no longer a need to use expensive dedicated lines to provide the highest level of protection to high risk locations. And, the service is affordable enough to be able to offer this same high level of protection to residential customers!

DERIVED CHANNEL Network is composed of a distributed packet data network which uses an existing telephone line as the final connection path between the customer’s location and their servicing central office. This redundant network is fully supervised, provides UL Grade AA service, and provides for two-way communications between the customer’s alarm equipment and the monitoring agency. In addition, the supervision provided by the network quickly informs the central station of any communications difficulties that may impair the reliability of the customer’s alarm system.
