Overview
2GIG LTE or 3G cell radio module — adds cellular alarm reporting and Alarm.com (or dealer ADC / SecureNet / Telus) interactive services to a compatible GC2, GC3, or Edge panel.
Without reliable cellular reporting, remote arm/disarm and central station signals stop when phone lines or broadband fail. Match the exact module SKU to your panel model and dealer platform before truck roll.

FAQs
Which cell module fits my panel?
GC2 LTE, GC3 LTE, and Edge modules are not interchangeable — match SKU to panel and dealer platform (Alarm.com, ADC, SecureNet, Telus).
Do I need an external antenna?
If installer cell RSSI is below spec in the panel location, ANT5XL or ANT2X/ANT3X kits move the antenna to attic or exterior wall per guide.

How do I test after installation?
Use panel walk test, zone status, and (if monitored) central station test per dealer procedure.
Can I mix 345 MHz and ePlus sensors?
ePlus 900 MHz sensors require XCVR2 transceiver hardware — they do not enroll on the standard 345 MHz receiver alone.
