The timing is also fortuitous for Icontrol. Numerous security dealers are looking at having to upgrade customer equipment as 2G wireless service is phased out. Icontrol claims that not only can it make the migration to 3G cost-effective, but it can also add on WiFi and Z-Wave connectivity to upgraded radio modules. Those wireless protocols will make it possible for traditional security dealers to introduce new home automation services.

"The sunset of 2G is a huge cost burden on the security industry," said Parks Associates Analyst Tom Kerber in an Icontrol press release. "Icontrol One allows dealers to use this transition to generate revenue."
