AES CORPORATION AT A GLANCE
•
•
•
•
Established in 1974
Privately Held
Corporate Headquarters located in Peabody, MA
Leading manufacturer of private wireless alarm
communications equipment
• AES holds the seminal patents on AES-IntelliNet®
wireless mesh radio technology
• AES-IntelliNet systems are deployed in over a half
million locations worldwide
AES Proprietary
ALARM COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES OVERVIEW
• Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) failing
Who knows what’s digital or analog anymore?
• AlarmNet-A discontinued
• Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS)
In 2008, the FCC established sunset clause for
AMPS Cellular Networks having a significant impact
on the alarm monitoring industry
• 2G Cellular will sunset…and sunset
Will sunset in December 2016 at the latest
• 3G/4G Cellular
AES Proprietary
THE RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS
Plain Old Telephone System (POTS)
• According to the Wall Street Journal
report dated 3/19/2014, 2 out of 5
residences relied on wireless
communications not POTS
• NFPA-72 Code Compliance for Fire
• Toll Free Service Connectivity Issues
Copper to fiber conversions are
currently an ongoing issue for signal
transmission and call completion
AES Proprietary
“Not picking an alternative
communication technology to
POTS isn’t an option because
dealers are going to lose and
have been losing them for
some time now. You need to
change. You need to move off
of this one. This isn’t
something you just let the
younger kids do. You either
need to move and do
something different or sell
your company to somebody
that will.”

THE RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS
Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS)
• How long ago does 2008 seem?
• How painful was that transition for your company?
• What was the cost for those upgrades (appointment
setting, truck rolls, unit cost, etc.)?
• Who paid?
• Who stayed?
AES Proprietary
THE RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS
2G/3G/4G…(5G slated for release in 2020)
• What did we all learn from the 2008 AMPS
conversion debacle?
• Did your company have a strategy and have one now?
• Are you ready to go through it again?

WHO’S REALLY IN CHARGE?
What is your company doing? When is it too late?
AES Proprietary
Public or Private
Make a Decision to Go Private vs. Facing the
Risks of Public Communications for Alarms
Can your company afford to keep giving away RMR or
continue spending time allocating resources to replace
sunsetting technologies?
• Phone companies enable communications, but
compete for the same RMR
• Recurring monthly charges from communication
transport providers consume profits
• Inability to directly control communications

Customer Testimonials
“We were able to sustain our
connection during and after
Hurricane Sandy with 99% of
our customer base and our
system never went down. We
only lost one radio due to an
excessive amount of days
without AC power at the
location from the storm.”
~Eliot Barry
B&H Security
“We don’t depend on anyone
else or pay anyone fees for the use
of the AES network. It’s ours and
we, alone, are accountable for it.
AES-IntelliNet® enables better RMR
than anything on the market.”
