Particularly suited for remote sites and ease of installation, this solution uses GPRS as the polled alarm transmission path. 90 second polling is the standard poll rate over GPRS. If the customer wished to have a faster polling rate, then 20 second polling could be implemented for an additional charge.

If the GPRS paths also becomes unavailable, then the Multipath-IP STU will select one of the traditional backup paths such as PSTN dialler or GSM, over which alarm and event data can be sent.

Multipath IP now includes dual GPRS paths. These GPRS paths provide separate communications using multiple network providers (i.e Telstra & Optus). This provides a greater level of redundancy should either network become unavailable.
