Texecom SmartCom Pro DR CEQ-0001 Dual Radio 4G Alarm Communicator

Build greater resilience into professional alarm signalling with the Texecom SmartCom Pro DR CEQ-0001 Dual Radio 4G Communicator. Designed for new installations and upgrades, SmartCom Pro DR provides dual-radio cellular alarm signalling across two separate mobile-network paths, reducing reliance on a single operator or local broadband connection. Texecom categorises the communicator for DP2 or DP3 transmission applications.

The DR model is particularly suited to professional security applications where dependable alarm transmission to an Alarm Receiving Centre is important. Texecom describes the unit as intelligently selecting the two best available network operators in the installation area and using redundant radio communication to maintain a strong signalling path.

Dual Radio 4G Alarm Signalling

The defining feature of SmartCom Pro DR is its radio/radio dual-path architecture. Texecom's specification identifies two modems with roaming SIM arrangements from separate mobile-network operators. If a network or data path fails, the communicator can reconnect using an alternative network.

Texecom’s product literature describes the architecture as two modems, two MNOs and three roaming SIM profiles connecting through two separate networks, designed to maximise redundancy while simplifying installation.

This creates strong search relevance for phrases such as dual SIM alarm communicator, dual network alarm communicator, dual radio 4G alarm signalling, DP3 alarm communicator and redundant cellular alarm signalling.

No Ethernet or Wi-Fi Alarm Signalling Path

A crucial distinction from other SmartCom Pro models is that SmartCom Pro DR does not use LAN or Wi-Fi as alarm-signalling channels. Texecom explicitly states that dual-path signalling on the DR model is supported through the dual-radio architecture.

The unit does include a local Wi-Fi access-point mode for product configuration, but this should not be confused with Wi-Fi alarm transmission.

This is particularly important when comparing:

SmartCom Pro: Ethernet or Wi-Fi single-path signalling.
SmartCom Pro 4G: Ethernet/Wi-Fi plus 4G options.
SmartCom Pro DR: dual-radio 4G communication over two mobile-network paths.

DP2 or DP3 Transmission Category

Texecom specifies the SmartCom Pro DR CEQ-0001 as DP2 or DP3, and its current datasheet confirms transmission-category support for both.

The appropriate category should be selected and commissioned according to the requirements of the particular alarm installation, monitoring arrangement and applicable standards rather than assuming every installation automatically operates at DP3.

Compatible with Third-Party Alarm Panels

SmartCom Pro was developed specifically to broaden Texecom alarm signalling beyond Texecom control panels. Texecom states that SmartCom Pro DR can be used with alarm panels providing suitable digital outputs, while its integral parallel inputs allow alarm events to be mapped for professional signalling.

This makes CEQ-0001 particularly relevant for searches including alarm communicator for existing alarm panel, third-party alarm panel communicator, universal 4G alarm communicator and ARC signalling upgrade.

10 Configurable Inputs

SmartCom Pro DR provides 10 standardised configurable parallel-interface inputs, allowing installers to configure different alarm events for signalling.

Texecom also specifies an EOL tamper-protected link designed to identify a fault if the interface cable is disconnected.

Four Configurable Outputs

The CEQ-0001 also includes four configurable outputs, comprising two open-collector outputs and two relay outputs.

Available configurable functions listed by Texecom include Open/Close keyswitch operation, ATP Fault, ATS Fault and SmartCom tamper.

Premier Elite Serial Integration

SmartCom Pro DR also provides full serial compatibility with Texecom Premier Elite systems. The communicator is supplied with a Premier Elite panel cable for the proprietary serial connection.

Texecom states that SmartCom Pro used with Premier Elite unlocks the broader digital ecosystem including Texecom Connect, Texecom Cloud and Texecom Monitor, giving compatible installations access to app control, remote management and professional monitoring. Third-party-panel integration is primarily positioned around alarm signalling to Texecom Monitor through the configurable I/O.

Texecom Cloud Remote Management

For compatible Premier Elite installations, Texecom lists management capabilities including remote system health checks, remote configuration, fault diagnosis and firmware upgrades through Texecom Cloud.

Automatic connection to Texecom Cloud and four-step LED indication are also provided to simplify commissioning.

Texecom Monitor & ARC Signalling

The SmartCom Pro platform provides a gateway into Texecom Monitor, allowing professional alarm signalling to supported Alarm Receiving Centres. Texecom currently states that Texecom Monitor is available in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, with enquiries invited for other territories.

This gives CEQ-0001 strong relevance for searches around ARC alarm communicator, professionally monitored alarm signalling, DP3 alarm signalling and dual-path alarm monitoring.

AES-256 Encrypted Signalling

Texecom specifies that alarm messages and polling are encrypted using AES-256, alongside software anti-substitution protection.

The wider SmartCom Pro launch information also states that the range operates over Texecom’s secure private APN for alarm signalling.

Dual Mobile-Network Architecture

The current technical specification describes the cellular arrangement in detail. SIM 1 uses World OV eUICC multi-profile technology, allowing selection between Vodafone or Manx Telecom roaming profiles, while SIM 2 uses a Telefónica O2 roaming SIM.

For customer-facing Shopify copy, the simpler and more useful message is that the product provides two separate mobile-network communication paths, rather than locking alarm signalling to one network.

Supported 4G Bands

Texecom lists LTE bands B1, B3, B7, B8, B20 and B28A. The current datasheet identifies 4G signalling support across the UK, Europe, India and South Africa.

Two High-Performance 4G Antennas Included

The CEQ-0001 is supplied with two high-performance 4G antennas. The official specification identifies MMCX antenna connectivity, and Texecom also offers a compatible external antenna accessory where required.

Suitable for Security or Fire Systems

Texecom states that SmartCom Pro DR can operate from a broad DC supply and is suitable for compatible security or fire-system applications.

10–30V DC Operating Range

The detailed SmartCom Pro DR datasheet specifies an operating-voltage range of 10–30V DC, with typical current consumption of approximately 130mA at 12V DC and peak demand of 550mA at 12V DC.
