In most offices (and homes) there is a security system and an alarm panel that can report the changing of status (open/close, burglary/fire, restore, …), if the telephone line is available. If not then the Central Monitor Station (911) does not receive any information from the customer. The problem with this system is that the telephone line may be problematic, may get cut off or short (technical problems by supplier or by burglar), or the CMT is very busy (the end of line equipment cost is too high). By adding to the existing system a GSM reporting capability there are no more wiring problems and system enlarging (establishing) cost is lower for the CMT. Additionally the customer is able to call their GSM partners through the same phone in home network price.
