Do It Yourself Security - Signal Communications

Since 1986 Signal Communication Systems has provided commercial communication and security products and services. In today’s world, there are now many products that consumers or small businesses can and want to install themselves. We have done the searching for a small number of products that, we feel, can provide years of excellent service. Most of the products we selected also have installation and on-going support available from the vendors. Signal can also install any of these products if you prefer.

We will continue to add products that fit the above criteria to this category as we come across them.

Thank you!

Dakota Alert

Wireless perimeter protection. Dakota has been the leading name in the driveway alarm business since 1991. Our wireless products have a great range and can work up to several miles. With sensors that detect people, vehicles, or both, we have a number of different options for our customers. The 4000 Series range is a maximum of one mile, depending on terrain and obstacles. The MURS Series can be used up to two and one-half miles, depending on terrain and obstacles, and is less conservative on battery use than the 4000 series. Both product lines require a Transmitter and at least one receiver. Transmitters come in a variety of configurations. You can use multiple-transmitters and receivers to achieve the coverage desired.

Product FCC Licensing (USA)

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates most forms of electronic transmission in the United States, including two-way radio, and wireless. All of these require licensing of some sort come pursuant to criteria determined by the FCC and legislators. While most licensed operators qualify under commercial use, individuals may also require FCC approval of ham and two-way radio even if transmission occurs for personal use. All UHF transmission needs a license, while VHF stations with more than 250 watts also require a permit.

Any communications occurring within the United States and its possessions may be subject to FCC regulation, in addition to international transmission that passes through, begins or ends in the U.S. This complies with the agency's mandate of preventing "hogging" of available bandwidth, enabling fair competition and promoting diversity of transmission. Transmitting without a license is a federal offense, and not knowing whether you required licensing to begin with can't be used as a defense. Processing times for applications vary, although most take a minimum of two weeks, so avoid deploying equipment before your license arrives.

Customer understands that it is solely the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that all proper licensing and permits are obtained prior to the installation and usage of any licensed equipment purchased through this site is used. Advanced Wireless Communications can assist Customers in obtaining such licenses upon request. Contact Advanced Wireless Communications Customer Service for more details and pricing.
