Napco Introduces New StarLink Signal Strength/Site Survey Tool

  • Jan 30, 2025

Napco Security Technologies Inc. is pleased to introduce the NAPCO StarLink SLE-MAX2-DEMO, a sophisticated but easy-to-use tool with its StarLink Max 2 Dual Sim Commercial Fire Communicators. It’s designed for two key purposes: performing site surveys or sales demos. First, it visually demonstrates the Communicator’s ability to switch between carriers quickly & second, it displays signal quality for both cell networks to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and more discerning potential customers.

This innovative, self-powered, battery-operated device features an intuitive display that allows users to view the active cellular carrier and its real-time signal quality metrics. It allows the fire dealer’s sales staff to demonstrate for the AHJ and potential subscribers, MAX2’s ability to quickly navigate the cellular networks and intelligently lock onto the optimal carrier. This transparency is often proven essential as it provides clear visibility into the system's current connectivity status and/or demos the supervised dual-cell carrier operation, particularly for Napco’s exclusive Super Dual™ plan, which enables fully redundant dual-carrier operation without requiring Ethernet/IP for UL Dual Path compliance. Additionally, the battery-powered design of the SLE-MAX2-DEMO enhances its portability, allowing commercial fire sales professionals to easily demonstrate its advantages to potential clients, even in diverse environments.

“At Napco, we are committed to providing professional labor-saving products that empower dealers with the sales tools they need to demonstrate the MAX2 benefits and close more life-safety sales. This signal tester demonstrates our responsiveness to our dealers’ needs and our dedication to continuous improvement,” says Stephen Spinelli, Senior Vice President of Sales, NAPCO Security Technologies.

Designed specifically for commercial fire, StarLink Fire MAX2 models stand out as the industry's only UL 864-listed and SOC 2-compliant dual-carrier commercial fire communicators, setting a new standard for reliability and safety in fire communication systems and cybersecurity. One of the standout capabilities of the MAX2 is its remarkable resilience during carrier service interruptions. The device is engineered to rapidly recover from such disruptions, seamlessly locking onto AT&T or Verizon to ensure continuous communication. This reliability is crucial for commercial fire applications, where every second counts in emergencies. With the SLE-MAX2-DEMO, sales professionals can effectively demonstrate the advanced features and unparalleled reliability of the MAX2, making it an invaluable asset in securing new subscribers and instilling confidence in fire safety solutions.
