The reason and trend behind the transition from 2G to 4G
In recent years, the gradual shutdown of 2G networks, often referred to as the "2G sunset," has begun worldwide. This process is necessary as modern applications require faster, more reliable, and energy-efficient networks. The 4G technology significantly improves data transfer speed and network performance, is more environmentally friendly, and is up to five times more energy-efficient than 2G networks.
Global trends indicate that 2025 will be a pivotal year for discontinuing legacy networks, as many providers plan to phase out 2G and 3G systems by then. Therefore, transitioning to more advanced technologies like 4G is essential.
Introducing the EniCom 4G module
The EniCom 4G modules are specifically designed for security and fire protection systems where redundant communication pathways are required. The primary communication channel is the Ethernet network, with LTE mobile networks as a backup. The device ensures reliable data transmission via IP-based protocols, guaranteeing fast and stable connectivity.
Key features and applications:
- Redundant data transmission: The EniCom 4G module supports two SIM cards and automatically switches to another network if one provider becomes unavailable.
- Remote monitoring: The device can send messages via Ethernet or mobile internet to up to four different servers.
- Flexible configuration: Inputs can be programmed for various loop types (NC/NO/EOL), making zone doubling possible.
- Remote control: Configurable and controllable remotely via cloud connection.
- EN54-21 certification: Ideal for security and fire protection applications.
Changes in the availability of EniCom 2G modules
Due to the technological transition, EniCom 2G modules will only be available upon special order. We strongly encourage our customers to switch to EniCom 4G modules, which offer more reliable operation and broader application possibilities in the long term.
We are happy to assist you if you have any questions regarding the transition or new products.
