Alula's Connect-XiP panel brings together the worlds of wireless and wired security and launches Alula to the forefront of smart commercial security offerings. In addition to Alula’s ultrafast point-to-point device communications technology and award-winning interactive services, the new panel boasts a unique programmable power distribution model, multi-battery support, native dual-path communications, dual wireless sensor protocol reception, and a host of other game-changing features. The Connect-XiP system expressly carries forward the technologically advanced, dealer-focused values that have become synonymous with Alula’s Connect family of products.
“We are excited to showcase Connect-XiP, Alula’s first wired solution, at ISC West,” said Dave Mayne, Chief Revenue Officer at Alula. “Alarm dealers and system integrators have come to recognize and trust our wireless products and for years have asked us to build a wired solution. We are confident this powerful new system will meet their needs and will carry forward the core tenants of Alula - flexibility, innovation and cost-savings for professional security providers.”
The Connect-XiP also features up to 250 wired/wireless zones, built-in dual SIM cellular, up to one thousand users, eight partitions and support for up to eight Wi-Fi or bus connected 7” low profile touchpads with an onboard wired zone input.
“With this versatile new platform, Alula will deliver an ideal solution for both residential and commercial applications. This is a great demonstration of the importance we place on listening to our customers, understanding the market and delivering an innovative, market-focused solution,” said Mayne.
Two models of the Connect-XiP are planned for the launch. As with other Connect products, BAT-Connect and Connect+, it will also work with the Aula Security App and the Alula Video Platform. Connect-XiP will be certified to UL & ULC 1023, 985 and 2610 standards to ensure dealers and integrators can meet all installation requirements.
Connect-XiP is set for a limited release to select Alula partners in 2023, with a broad market launch in early 2024.
