* Top World ADT Dealer - City Watch, Mexico

* * 2nd Place World ADT Dealer - The Protector Group, New Zealand

"We prefer Simon for its rapid installation and ease of use. It installs quickly, and the customer is able to quickly understand how to operate the system," said David Ramirez, Installation Manager for City Watch.

"Simon is the only control we have found that is ideally suited for the mass market. It is reliable and very simple for both the customer and installer to use," said Mark Kennedy, Director of The Protector Group.

Simon, manufactured by the Interlogix Security & Life Safety Group, is a self-contained wireless security and home automation system with the keypad, control unit, and sounder built into one compact enclosure. Its pager capability allows homeowners to monitor activities in various rooms or the condition of the home while away. Wireless keychain touchpad operation makes system operation simple. This low cost system can be installed quickly, resulting in more installations per day. Faster installations translate into higher recurring revenues for dealers.
