There are plans that starting next year, February 2008, cell phone towers will no longer be offering analog service and only digital. While this may be alright in the cell phone domain, there will be problems concerning home security systems.

The same signal used when talking on the cell phone is also used by many home security systems, and most homeowners specifically use analog cell phone service. There is a possibility that when the analog service will be cut nest year, the homeowners may not be able to communicate well with the authorities through their home security control panels during emergencies.

Home security companies will have to solve this problem by replacing every home security system they have given that is only compatible with analog service. Other companies begin by sending notices or letters telling the homeowners to get a digital transmitter for their home security system.
