About this webinar

Appello and the TSA have joined forces to educate and inform those in housing and care what the impact of the 2G and 3G sunsetting will have on their end users.

The sunset of 2G and 3G networks has already started in the UK and has significant implications for housing providers offering telecare services.

Dispersed alarms, used in independent living, rely on the 2G and 3G networks to transmit an alarm to the monitoring centre when activated. As these networks are phased out, housing and care providers face challenges in ensuring the continuity and reliability of their telecare services.

Why attend:

  • Learn about what is happening with 2G and 3G networks.
  • Understand the impact on telecare services in the UK.
  • Identify the risks with existing devices utilising these networks.
  • Understand the considerations when upgrading, to ensure service reliability and a future-proofed investment.
  • Appello to unveil newly updated dispersed alarm.

Key Impacts:

Within this webinar we will delve further into these challenges and look into the importance of upgrading today.

Loss of Connectivity

As 2G and 3G networks are turning off, dispersed alarms that rely on these networks will lose their ability to communicate. This means they will no longer be able to send alerts, potentially leaving individuals at risk in emergency situations.

System Malfunction

Some older dispersed alarm systems may not be compatible with newer network technologies (4G/5G). This could lead to system malfunctions or complete failure once the older networks are shut down.

False Sense of Security

Users of dispersed alarms may have a false sense of security, assuming their devices are functional when they are actually no longer able to transmit alerts.
