Comparison Table of TRIKDIS Communicators for Alarm Systems
- 01.04.2025
If you're unsure which Trikdis communicator suits your needs and what its capabilities are, we've prepared a concise comparison table where you can easily overview the Trikdis communicators based on two key criteria:
- Horizontal axis: how it connects to the alarm control panel
- Vertical axis: what communication channels it offers
(The table does not include communicators used for fire alarm systems or devices operating via radio communication.)
Types of connection to the alarm control panel
- Special communicator – Direct connection to the alarm control panel via data bus or serial port.
- Universal communicator – Connection to the alarm control panel via traditional telephone line (TIP-RING).
- Dual-connection communicator – The device supports both data bus/serial port and telephone line (TIP-RING) connections. A distinguishing feature of these devices is their black casing.
Types of communication
- Cellular – Depending on the built-in modem, the device may support 2G, 3G, or 4G. All devices are backward compatible: a 4G communicator can also operate on 3G or 2G/GPRS networks.
- Ethernet – The device connects to the network via an Ethernet (LAN) cable, typically using a wired internet connection.
- Dual-path, Redundant – The device supports both Ethernet and cellular connections, providing high bandwidth via wired internet while automatically switching to mobile network in case of power outage or service failure.
