AT&T Causing major headaches with Transition from GSM 2G to GSM 3G/4G Service and putting lives and property in jeopardy

On January1st 2017 AT&T Nationwide shut down its old 2G GSM data Network

In doing so they required all Burglar and Fire Alarm company's to upgrade their existing 2G units to the new 3G/4G units.

Everything was going fine I like many company's put in the new 3G/4G communicators and where getting good solid signals on 3G/4G but then when AT&T shit down 2G all of a sudden now the good solid 3G/4G signals are no longer there or extremely low causing a mad dash to add on external antennas, re-position the units etc. to try and capture a signal.
The end result many Burglar and Fire Alarm customers are being left without protection if the Cellular Communicators are the sole means how the signal from their systems are being sent out.

It appears AT&T has not properly deployed the new service and no one is getting answers from them in the mean time millions of homes and business have spotty to no coverage should their alarms activate.

Not a good situation to be in. Most of my customers cellular is used for back up incase the internet or hone line fails so signals are getting good and as i get a fail to communicate signal I can go and fix it
but large company's do not have this luxury and are scrambling to get things done becuse of the many thousands of accounts they have.

We had similar issues when AT&T transitioned from Amps Analog to GSM Digital a few years back but nothing like we are currently seeing. what ever they are doing to get things optimized in their network I hope they get it done soon so people can get a good nights sleep because myself and many other alarm company owners are not.

My personnel journey into the world of Physical and Electronic Security . Why it is for the most part it is way too Full of Fools, Losers ,Thieves ,Braggarts, Liars , Fucktards , Psychopaths and Want to Be's. Who could care less if they put you or your property at risk.

With 30 plus years at doing this work I have done and seen it all and see how Guards and Alarm Installers and those who sub contract to bigger alarm company's are treated like cattle and second class citizens
and it disgusts me .We as an industry can do better if we want to. I try by leading by example and teaching others and encouraging proper training and techniques and treating my fellow man the way I want to be treated.
I am convinced many of the shit hole places I worked contributed to me getting Cancer

The story's and incidents are true as I experienced and conversations I had are as they where told me I have no way of verifying there truthfulness as many who told them to me have moved away or are deceased . But many experts in the industry agree we need to clean things up not only in PA. but other parts of the country So when I heard these story's you have to believe there is a bit of truth to them. Its a shame . But events currently going on in Western Pa will curl your hair as Police chiefs resign or are fired along with Sheriffs indicted .
