End of PSTN: Prepare Without Replacing Everything

Publie le 5 Aug

How can you ensure the continuity of alarm transmissions without replacing your entire existing installation? With the end of the PSTN, security professionals (installers, maintenance technicians, monitoring centres) are facing a major challenge.

MutakoM2M, the new generation of IP transmission devices designed by J2C – MutaKom, provides a practical answer to this technological transition. A solution tested and approved by Azursoft, integrated into its monitoring environments and already deployed in the field.

This device enables professionals to modernize their installations without replacing the entire system. It supports a gradual, controlled transition while remaining compatible with the technical and budgetary realities of many end users.

Modernize Without Replacing Everything: A Pragmatic Approach to the IP Transition

The end of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is making many analogue alarm communicators installed over the past decade obsolete. These devices, based on voice transmission over telephone lines, are no longer suitable in an all-IP environment.

However, this does not mean that every alarm system must be replaced. Quite the opposite. Many control panels are still fully operational and continue to meet security requirements.

The issue is not the alarm system itself, but the transmission channel.

It’s just like the transition from analogue to digital television. Some households bought a new TV, while others simply added an adapter to continue receiving channels.

MutakoM2M acts as an adapter. It converts the analogue signal from an alarm panel and transmits it via IP to a monitoring centre.

Result: guaranteed service continuity without disrupting the existing technical architecture.

This approach is cost-effective, sustainable, and immediately operational. It avoids discarding equipment that is still in good condition while maintaining a high level of reliability and security.

MutakoM2M: Direct Compatibility with Azursoft’s Osiris Front-End

For monitoring centres, the risks are very real. A transmission failure can affect part of the installed base. In the event of a large-scale outage, intervention requests can quickly accumulate. Anticipation becomes essential. Azursoft has validated the full compatibility of MutakoM2M with Osiris, its reception front-end widely deployed in monitoring centres. This means that signals sent by MutakoM2M are fully received, decoded and processed by Azursoft systems, with no complex reconfiguration or additional supervision hardware required.

There is no need to replace everything. Monitored sites can therefore keep their existing infrastructure while integrating MutakoM2M quickly and easily. It is a seamless transition, with no service interruption and no costly system redesign.

This integration also helps minimize operational risks related to service interruptions. Installers can offer a reliable and scalable solution while relying on a software environment already proven in monitoring centres.

A Solution Designed for Installers, Built for End Users

Beyond the technology itself, MutakoM2M delivers a complete user experience for every profile:

  • For installers: a dedicated application for assisted installation, network testing, diagnostics and remote management.
  • For end users: a customizable dashboard with push notifications, event history, remote activation/deactivation and a white-label interface.

This dual-interface approach helps save maintenance time while providing a high level of transparency and convenience appreciated by end users.

Reliable and Scalable Embedded Technology

  • Dual SIM multi-operator connectivity to ensure network resilience.
  • LTE-M, a low-data-rate protocol with low power consumption and long service life.
  • Universal compatibility with the main alarm protocols (Contact ID, SIA, Pulse 4+2).
  • Remote uploading for selected control panels (DSC, Honeywell, NX).
  • Connection monitoring every 10 minutes for continuous supervision.

This robust technology makes MutakoM2M particularly suitable for critical or isolated installations where communication stability is essential.f.

A Practical Solution for the End of the PSTN, Built for the Future

In a challenging economic environment and with growing environmental concerns, modernizing without replacing everything is becoming a responsible approach.

MutakoM2M enables existing installations to evolve without compromising security or the end-user experience.

As the end of the PSTN approaches, this solution stands out as a reliable, tested alternative, fully compatible with Osiris, and already available on the market.
