Install Honeywell LTE-XA or LTE-XV On VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, VISTA-21iP

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to install a Honeywell LTE-XA or a Honeywell LTE-XV for a Honeywell VISTA P-Series Panel. The VISTA P-Series Panels that often use one of these communicators include the Honeywell VISTA-15P, the VISTA-20P, and the VISTA-21ip. The LTE-XA and the LTE-XV are both installed in the same manner, and they add cellular communication capabilities to the panel. This means that the system will be able to communicate with the AlarmNet servers across a cellular network for monitoring service.

Cellular connectivity is often recognized as being the most reliable communication path for an alarm system. This is because a power outage or an internet outage will usually take a panel relying solely on IP monitoring offline. But cellular connectivity almost never goes down or becomes unavailable, provided that a strong cellular signal is achieved. That is why many users will upgrade their systems to use cellular monitoring. It is important to note though that a cellular monitoring plan is required if you want to use cellular connectivity with your system. A cellular monitoring plan is typically more expensive due to the cellular service charges involved, Make sure to keep that in mind if you are considering cellular monitoring.

The LTE-XA and LTE-XV are both standalone cellular communication modules. The LTE-XA communicates across the AT&T LTE Network, while the LTE-XV communicates across the Verizon LTE Network. Both accomplish the same purpose. We recommend going with whichever network provides better service in your area. Remember, this decision has nothing to do with the cellular service you use for your personal phone. If you aren't sure which network provides better coverage in your area, then you can check coverage maps to be sure. Choosing one over the other most likely will not save you any money in terms of monthly monitoring expenses.
