Axesstel, a leading provider of wireless voice, broadband access and connected home solutions for the worldwide telecommunications market, launched its new wireless security alert system by shipping 40 000 AG50 Series Axesstel Home Alert systems to two different countries in Africa, including to TruTeq Devices – its South African reseller.
The AG50 Series Axesstel Home Alert System uses GSM technology and has a built-in cellular module that can send an SMS or place a phone call to up to eight pre-assigned numbers. This affordable, easy-to-set-up product can be used in homes or other locations for end-users desiring a self-monitored alert notification system.
Derick Roberts, CEO of wireless communications specialist, TruTeq Devices, says, “There is a potentially huge market in South Africa, where crime is high – and where millions of South Africans cannot afford fully-fledged security and alarm systems, backed up by armed response.
“This is an affordable solution which can be linked to up to eight numbers, so it is perfect for linking up to a neighborhood watch, for instance, which is very big in South Africa. It is perfect for urban areas as well as in rural areas, where farmers can get together and link to one another on an alert notification basis.
“We expect Axesstel-related sales to make a noticeable impact on TruTeq Devices’ revenue during the next 12 to 24 months,” Roberts concludes.
Clark Hickock, CEO for Axesstel, says: “The launch of the Axesstel Home Alerts expands our suite of wire-line replacement products and further establishes Axesstel as a leader in developing ‘cut the cord’ devices.
“The security alert systems enable network operators to offer new products to their entire subscriber base, resulting in additional revenue without further incremental investment, as well as attract new subscribers. We plan to release a series of five Axesstel Home Alert security systems in key strategic global markets.
“The security alert system product roadmap includes advanced ‘all-in’ products incorporating voice, broadband access capabilities and optional features enabling a wide array of connected home applications. We are excited about the worldwide opportunities for this product.”
