Interlogix Simon XT Installation Guide - Verizon VoLTE

The LTE Module for Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 enables wireless reporting of all alarms and other system events from the
Interlogix Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 control panel on the Verizon LTE wireless (cellular) network. The module can be
used as the primary communication path for all alarm signaling, or as a backup to a telephone line connection to the
monitoring station. The wireless alarm signaling and routing service are operated by Alarm.com.

The LTE Module also features integrated support for Alarm.com’s emPower™ solution with built-in Z-Wave capabilities
and for Alarm.com’s Image Sensor when the Image Sensor daughterboard is added or an Image Sensor radio is built-in.
Two-way voice over LTE is supported on module firmware versions 185 and above.

The module interfaces with the Simon XT, XTi, and XTi-5 panels, fits into a special compartment inside the panel, and is
powered by the control panel and panel battery.
