AES-IntelliNet Wireless Alarm Communication
Reliable Alarm Communication Without the Phone Lines
Ditch landlines and cellular dependency with AES wireless alarm transmission that never relies on third-party infrastructure.
When seconds count, you need an alarm communication system that works no matter what. That’s why SMG Security installs and supports AES-IntelliNet® networks—a private, wireless mesh system that transmits alarm signals directly to our UL-Listed, 5-Diamond central station. This radio-frequency-based network eliminates reliance on phone lines or cellular providers, giving your property faster, more resilient protection that meets AHJ code requirements across Chicagoland.
Benefits of AES-IntelliNet® networks
Independent from Phone & Cellular Lines
AES-IntelliNet works without depending on POTS lines, cell towers, or the internet. By avoiding these technologies for a more fault-tolerant mesh network, we can ensure your signals get through, no matter what.
Self-Healing, Redundant Mesh Network
The network is constantly optimizing itself. If one path goes down, signals are automatically rerouted to maintain fast and uninterrupted communication.
Faster Transmission Times
Signals reach our central station in seconds. AES technology is built for priority alarm delivery, so fire and intrusion alerts aren’t delayed.
Built, Maintained & Monitored by SMG Security
Unlike other integrators who outsource signal transmission, we build and maintain our own AES mesh network in Chicago to ensure our clients receive the most reliable service possible.
AES IntelliNet Network FAQs
What is an AES-IntelliNet system?
AES-IntelliNet is a wireless alarm communication technology that uses a private, encrypted mesh network to send alarm signals. It doesn’t rely on phone lines, cellular towers, or third-party internet services, making it one of the most secure and dependable transmission options available.
How does it compare to cellular alarm communication?
Cellular signals can be interrupted by poor coverage, SIM card issues, or network congestion. AES uses licensed radio frequencies in a self-healing mesh that routes signals through multiple paths, ensuring faster and more consistent communication.
Is AES-IntelliNet compliant with local fire codes?
Yes. AES radio networks are widely approved by Chicago-area AHJs and meet NFPA 72 requirements for commercial fire alarm transmission. SMG Security’s installations are code-compliant and ready for inspection from the get-go.
What happens if the radio signal gets blocked?
The beauty of AES mesh technology is that it automatically finds the next best route to deliver the signal. With dozens of active nodes across the network, rerouting happens instantly and without failure.
