Carriers are turning off the phone lines your fire panel depends on.
Most fire alarm monitoring still rides copper POTS lines — and carriers nationwide are actively decommissioning that infrastructure. When the line goes, a panel that can’t communicate to a central station is a code violation waiting to be found at the next inspection.
Most quotes to fix it start with a $1,500+ panel upgrade and a multi-week install. Armorstack closes that gap differently: a free cellular communicator, a flat $50/month all-inclusive contract, and UL-listed 24/7 dispatch from day one — typically live in a single site visit.
This is a monitoring-transition offer, not a full system replacement. If your existing panel needs hardware work beyond a communicator swap, we identify that at the site survey and quote it separately — no surprise change orders after the fact.
No upfront cost. No phone line. No downtime.
Free Cellular Communicator
A $125 hardware value, provided and activated at no cost. Zero capital outlay to get your panel off a POTS line.
Cellular Primary Path
No phone line needed. Cellular communication removes POTS dependency, IT involvement, and carrier sunset risk.
$50/Month, All-Inclusive
One predictable, flat cost covers UL-listed 24/7 central station monitoring — nothing extra at billing time.

Scope of Service
- Free cellular communicator — $125 value, supplied and activated at no cost, connected to your existing fire alarm control panel.
- UL-listed 24/7 monitoring at a flat $50/month, delivered via wholesale UL 827 / TMA Five Diamond central-station partnership.
- Wireless install — typically completed in a single site visit, no conduit or construction required.
- Annual NFPA 72 inspection with documentation and AHJ-ready records included in the standard agreement.
- POTS-to-cellular migration for panels currently dependent on a landline facing carrier sunset.
- Monitoring takeover from an incumbent provider on panels Armorstack did not originally install.
- Integration with the broader CITADEL platform — fire signals route to the same central station as access control and video monitoring events, for facilities that converge.
Panel hardware upgrades, if needed, are identified at the site survey and quoted separately — never assumed or bundled silently into the $50/month rate. Every engagement starts with a site survey.

Part Of The Converged Stack
One trusted partner replaces four vendors.
Wireless fire monitoring is one entry point into CITADEL — Armorstack’s converged physical security platform. Fire, access control, video surveillance, and AI analytics unified in a single pane of glass. Ask about the full suite.
Need design, install, or a full panel replacement — not just a communicator swap? NICET-certified fire alarm design, installation, and inspection sits right alongside this monitoring offer.
Add monitored video, intrusion, access exceptions, and PERS to the same UL 827 central station — one portal, one event timeline, across every signal type.
Repeated trouble signals, after-hours dispatch patterns, and panel-communication anomalies can surface as security signals for the SOC to investigate.
vCISO and vCIO advisory can map your monitoring program against insurance and compliance requirements — part of a broader security posture, not a standalone checkbox.
