A new digital technology that helps organisations to monitor and manage a broad spectrum of new and existing security systems and peripherals from a smartphone through a complementary user-friendly app has been introduced by OPTEX, the global pioneer in security sensing technology.

Olarm MAX

Olarm MAX – is a discrete, Graded Dual-Path (DP) digital communicator that can be quickly and easily installed alongside a new and existing alarm panel to make them smart and effectively bring 21st-century control to security technologies.

Coming at a time when the old Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) is being phased out, and users will be obliged to switch to a digital communicator, Olarm MAX provides a simple upgrade solution that enables new and existing technologies to be managed conveniently and remotely via the Olarm app with a level of user experience second to none.

Seamless user experience

Its sleek design further simplifies where and how the device can be installed, almost without restriction

This seamless user experience is matched by ease of installation, as using Olarm MAX means not having to replace the entire system or undertake any difficult re-wiring, and configuration while firmware updates can be actioned remotely.

Its sleek design further simplifies where and how the device can be installed, almost without restriction, while an LED feature helps quickly diagnose any issues. Two input/output ports allow for further devices to be integrated as required.

LoRaWAN protocol

Ben Linklater, Commercial Director at OPTEX EMEA, believes the Olarm MAX and its app to be a genuine game-changer, “With the phasing out of PSTN over the next three years, this new communicator not only satisfies a clearly defined need but also breathes new life into legacy systems, with an app that enables you to control everything from the palm of your hand.

It is compliant with industry standards, including features such as LoRaWAN protocol for low power, wide area networks, WiFi, and dual sim connectivity. 

Security features

It has a variety of security features built in, such as tamper protection and critical failure notification which will detect if someone is trying to remove it or provide notification in the event of complete system loss.

The Olarm MAX communicator, monitoring, and connectivity services are managed by Olarm as a turnkey, trouble-free solution. The app is available in Google Play, App Store and AppGallery.
