Yes, they will replace their existing network with the Quiktrak network. QTK have the sole licence for DSS spectrum in South Africa and if you read the announcements carefully you will notice.
QUOTE QuikTrak’s DSSS technology platform has a number of distinct advantages over traditional wired or RF based security monitoring systems.
These advantages include:
• Impossible to jam signal which improves security
- HUH, They couldnt find the pesky intermittent interference source in china, yes it was interfered with !!! and failed
• Bi-directional communications allows for health check poling and system upgrades and remote activation/resetting
- As an Alarm installer i know that is very old technology 25 years old in fact, so not an exclusive to QTK
• National frequency removes the inefficiencies surrounding multiple frequency/location based networks
• QuikTrak’s patented location and tracking technology
- Yes but will the system choke in tracking a huge amount of vehicles
Also you should NOTE ( back up communications and power generation)
QUOTE
"The newly released 3rd Generation Control/Processing (C/P) Site platform has been relocated at a secure hosted centre with back up communications and power generation."
- I hope it is better than that dilapitated 20 year server, as a ground breaking announcement, we seen a while ago.
This is very important in South Africa with power blackouts taking place regularly.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/feb/03/world/fg-power3 And in one of the world's worst crime capitals, residents' electric fences, gates and high-tech alarm systems don't work when the power is off. One woman was held up at gunpoint outside her stalled gate.
Well how is QTK going to provide back up power, that the other proffessional security firms have not worked out yet ??,
Hey has all this been announced yet, can see it anywhere.
