Redefining Flexibility And Verification In Security Systems
SONITROL and PACOM have announced the industry’s first integration of PowerG wireless sensor technology outside the Johnson Controls portfolio.
This collaboration introduces professional-grade wireless security to the SONITROL CORE and PACOM VIGIL CORE unified platforms, revolutionizing sensor installation with faster deployment, greater flexibility, and superior reliability.
Setting A New Standard For Wireless Security
The integration combines PowerG’s long-range, battery-efficient sensors with SONITROL’s patented audio and video verification and PACOM’s enterprise-class management system. This synergy creates a next-generation solution that eliminates complex wiring, reduces installation time and costs, and adapts seamlessly to multi-site and high-security environments.
Unlike conventional systems, PowerG sensors provide up to 1.24 miles of encrypted, frequency-hopping communication, ensuring stable and interference-free performance. The adaptive power technology delivers up to eight years of battery life, making it ideal for large commercial campuses, educational institutions, and facilities where cabling is difficult or costly.
Benefits For Installers And End-Users
Installers benefit from rapid deployment and easy expansion, while end-users enjoy reduced complexity, lower maintenance costs, and faster police response enabled by SONITROL’s verified audio and video detection. This verification minimizes false alarms, improving accuracy and response reliability.
SONITROL and PACOM’s approved PowerG-integrated sensors currently include wireless door/window contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and panic buttons, with more devices expected soon. All operate seamlessly through the PowerG Host Transceiver and proprietary CORE security panels, unified under one intuitive management platform.
Julie Beach, Vice President of SONITROL, PACOM North America, and Customer Support, commented:
“By integrating PowerG wireless technology with SONITROL’s patented intrusion verification and PACOM’s unified management platform, we’re delivering a solution that’s not only secure but simple and adaptable. This allows our customers and partners to deploy enterprise-grade security without traditional limits.”
Kevin Woodworth, Senior Director of Product Management at Johnson Controls, added:
“This first-of-its-kind integration showcases that security teams no longer need to compromise between proven performance and flexible deployment. Our collaboration with SONITROL and PACOM empowers dealers and end-users to protect facilities more efficiently and scale security confidently, wherever they need it.”
