You already knew that the Octalarm-Touch and Octalarm-Touch Pro are redundant. With the new software version 2.4.3, the internet status of the alarms has now also been made visually clear, and broken connections can be reported as system failures. This makes it even easier to ensure the redundancy of your dialler.

Octalarm Connect price increase and amended general terms and conditions
Tuesday 23 November 2021
Due to the strongly increased purchase costs for GSM and VoIP/SIP calls and the rising costs for maintenance and keeping the 24/7 monitored Adésys servers in the air, we are forced to increase the price of Octalarm Connect from January 2022 to € 14,95 per month. The use of the portal (https://portal.octalarm.com) and the app 'Adesys Alarm' will remain free of charge.
Besides the price increase, the general terms and conditions of Octalarm Connect have also been changed. We list the most important changes for you.
Lifespan of 3G/2G diallers severely restricted by telecom network changes
Thursday 16 September 2021
With the arrival of first the 4G and now the 5G network, UK telecom providers started phasing out the 3G network and this network will no longer be supported by most providers by 2023. Subsequently, the 2G network of Vodafone and EE will be phased off from June 2023 and will also be discontinued from 2025. As a result, the lifespan of 2G and 3G diallers is very limited and they must be replaced (possibly early).
Network controlled alarms now possible with the new Octalarm-Touch Pro
Monday 14 June 2021
The Octalarm-Touch Pro has been developed especially for technical installations that need to be able to report large numbers of alarms via a separate network interface. In addition to safe and reliable alarms via today's (strongly changed) digital telephone networks, the Octalarm-Touch Pro has an extra Ethernet port and the Adésys standard 'Octalarm Link' (JSON REST API) for network controlled alarms.
