The security industry is now aware of the problems associated with ADSL interference on both dialler and securitel alarm panels.
On Monday 3 November the ACA (Australian Communications Authority) posted a Media Release on their website. This followed meetings with ASIAL's Alarms Committee which highlighted the problems alarm companies were having with ADSL interfering with alarm panel communications. After investigations, the ACA have now recognised that these problems are widespread and have acted promptly with a Press Release. The press release stated that "consumers who had an alarm system that can be remotely monitored must have their ADSL service professionally installed with a properly placed filter, if the two services were not to interfere with each other". Since most problems experienced with alarm systems are introduced by the "do it yourself" installation of ADSL, most clients are not even aware they have created a problem. For the full details of the ACA's Media Release, please click here.
During the course of the ACA's investigation, they uncovered similar interference problems experienced in the US. These problems were caused by ADSL interfering with alarm panels communicating to a central station. These problems mirror the problems we are experiencing in Australia. Please click here for the Security Industry Association (SIA) Press Release.
The Minutes of the latest ASIAL National Alarms Committee meeting held on 23 October 2003 recommended "ASIAL to circulate a recommendation to Members that they ensure that ADSL filters are installed on all new electronic security systems"
