Introducing the Skyroute Transceiver

The Skyroute transceiver offers a new wireless communication
method for the transmission of event information using the
*Cellemetry

service. Events are transmitted from the Sky-

route transceiver via the Cellemetry network to the clearing
house and then to the central station in a fast, reliable manner.
The Skyroute receiver has been designed for simple and
straightforward installation. Using Keybus

technology, wir-

ing connections are made directly between Skyroute module
and the security control panel.
