British Telecom are upgrading there networks to the new 21st Century Network and have changed the line specification. THIS WILL AFFECT ARC TRANSMITTING DEVICES.

21CT network is under tests but will be rolling out across the entire network later this year.

21CT is expected to introduce a delay to the signal between the ARC and communicator by a maximum of 85ms. But the standard for uk telephone systems has been increased to a maximum of 300ms.

The ARC receiver manufacturers,Bold and Sur-Guard, have spent time adjusting their systems and testing vaious products to see if they still fuction.

OK this timing change can effect the Digital communicator's but the signals will still be recieved.

Cooper Security Products have all been tested and passed.

Just be aware guys !

DIGI's may not be the best option!

Hmm i wouldnt be that worried, i think its gonna take a while longer than a year to roll that out. I work for them and it is very rarely mentioned

I thought we had covered this in another topic a long time ago, i suppose it is Menvier who posted who were very late out with their EN Graded panels

Couldnt resist on the EN panel lateness.

As you may or may not of seen i joined the group today.

I was invited by a good member becuase he felt my technical advice may help.

I'm sorry you have already covered this issue.

I will make sure i check before i give out my findings in future.

You will see no difference with regards 21c network compared to POTS the transmission of signaling will be the same.

No problem, i agree on technical advice fair point, dont take it the wrong way.

On another thing, why was coopers way behind with their EN panels, i remember a menvier rep trying to get us away for galaxys must be about 10 years ago, now he is one of our account managers.

How many returns have menvier (not cooper) had on their panels by comparison to other manufacturers that can be directly attributed to //.B.W.F.// ups with EN software?? I suspect the answer (far less) may be because menvier took more time making sure it was right before releasing it??
