HughesNet(R) Dealer Network to Offer NextAlarm Products and Services
Munich (28 February, 2012) - Alarm systems service provider and technology
developer, NextAlarm Monitoring Services, Inc., a 100% subsidiary of
Munich-based NextAlarm AG, today announced an expansion of its distribution
agreement with Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), the global leader in
broadband satellite networks and services and provider of HughesNet(R)
broadband satellite Internet service in the U.S., #1 in the marketplace
with over 620,000 subscribers. Under the new agreement, all of NextAlarm's
products and services related to security will be offered by HughesNet
dealers US-wide.
The NextAlarm line of products features wireless security cameras, a
wireless alarm system, and a patented broadband adapter that enables most
existing alarm systems to communicate over the Internet. The NextAlarm
wireless system has been optimized to operate over a HughesNet satellite
Internet connection employing a unique protocol that is extremely bandwidth
efficient, resulting in a cost-effective, monitored security service over
satellite without disrupting other Internet traffic.
NextView, the video surveillance product offered by NextAlarm, is also
unique in that it does not require on-site video storage or constant
uploading to a remote server. The cameras feature a buffer which is
continually updated, but is only sent to the NextAlarm servers in the event
of an alarm. When an alarm does occur, the buffer is uploaded, and includes
a video starting 10 seconds before the alarm, and ending five minutes
after. This allows NextView to keep cost and bandwidth use to a minimum,
while still providing a strong visual record of alarms.
Tom Reed, vice president of Global Sales & Marketing at the US-subsidiary
NextAlarm Monitoring Services, Inc., commented, 'We've found that HughesNet
subscribers really have a good relationship with their local dealer, and
trust them for guidance in their technology purchasing decisions. By
offering NextAlarm, these dealers can provide their customers with a great,
useful product, and increase their RMR with the service.'
