Armstrongs, A Becklar Company, Debuts State-of-the-Art Critical Event Monitoring and Data Centre in Quebec
30 Abril 2024 - 7:00AM
Armstrongs, A Becklar Company, is proud to announce the grand
opening of a state-of-the-art critical event monitoring and data
centre in Laval, Quebec. The centre will provide dedicated video
monitoring and remote guarding, as well as traditional security,
fire and medical alert services. Armstrongs has been providing
exceptional wholesale, ULC-listed alarm monitoring services to
independent security dealers across Canada since 1989, and this new
centre represents a significant investment to expand services
further.
This leading-edge,
fully-redundant monitoring and data center in Laval is designed to
provide a Canadian-based facility as the primary home to all
receivers and storage of subscriber data. Partnering with local,
national and international telecommunication providers gives this
facility multiple paths of redundancy and ensures low latency for
critical alarm signals for Canadian subscribers.
Becklar, parent company
of Armstrongs, has always been committed to meeting or exceeding
industry standards, including offering the fastest average
emergency response times of under 10 seconds.
“We are so pleased to
open this innovative and technologically-advanced data and
monitoring centre in Laval, continuing Becklar’s commitment to
growth in Canada,” said Dan Small, President of Armstrongs. “This
new station has created over 55 new jobs in Laval to date, with
plans to increase this further before the end of the year. With
this new centre we can continue to provide the highest level of
customer service to our valued dealers across Canada.”
This investment in
technology will provide significant advancements in wholesale
monitoring services in Canada. Armstrongs will be the first to
employ toll-free re-route in Canada, allowing a single receiver
line to travel across multiple tier one carriers as well as report
to multiple centres. Redundancy and automatic failover become a
built-in component of these lines.
“Every alarm signal we
handle is important and could be lifesaving or property saving,”
said Justin Bailey, President of Becklar Enterprise Monitoring.
“Redundancy significantly increases the probability that a signal
is properly received regardless of circuit issues, weather, or
equipment failure. Our primary focus is delivering superior
service, and responding in the moments that matter – our investment
in Laval will help ensure we are there when our subscribers need
us.”
The centre will also
bring a Class C IP address space with failover to our other
facilities across North America. This will provide superior
redundancy to the over 250,000 accounts monitored by Armstrongs in
Canada today and was built to meet or exceed all ULC
requirements.
