Redcare is Saved!

After the shock announcement in February 2024 that BT were discontinuing the Redcare portfolio, the entire Fire & Security industry was sent into meltdown. This on top of the already stressful nationwide PSTN switch off program thats been in full swing for the past few years, meant that alarm systems all of types across the country (and installed in 90% of our monitored customers premises) would need to be upgraded at further cost. But thankfully it is now SAVED. Leading European IoT & Alarm Signalling provider AddSecure, has stepped in and agreed a deal with BT to partner and manage all of the existing BT Redcare customers and services going forward. For us and the entire industry, this is a very welcomed news. View this article for further information.
