Carlsbad, CA and Tysons, VA - April 5, 2016 — Nortek Security & Control LLC, a Nortek Company (NASDAQ: NTK) and leader in the security, smart home and wellness technology markets, together with Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM), the leading platform solution for the connected home and business, announced a technology integration for the launch of the new 2GIG® GC3 home security and automation system.
The new 2GIG® GC3 home security and automation system launched this year exclusively featuring Alarm.com's cloud-based services. With 3 million 2GIG panels installed in the U.S. to date, 2GIG has changed the home security landscape. The GC3 is a highly intuitive 7" all-in-one security and home control touchscreen panel that provides home security, smart home control, mobile alerts and robust user features that will be anchors for 2GIG and Alarm.com dealers.
With the growing trend towards SHaaS (smart home as a service), Nortek Security & Control will now support sales of the Alarm.com WiFi doorbell camera, Skybell HD Edition. The fully integrated experience enables users to access all of their connected devices, including the doorbell camera, through the Alarm.com app. Looking ahead, Nortek Security & Control and Alarm.com will continue to explore synergistic initiatives focused on opportunities to deepen joint development and expand support for security dealers.
"As one of our most strategic partners, we're pleased to broaden our close working relationship with Alarm.com," said Tom Cummiskey, Group Vice President of Sales at Nortek Security & Control. "Given their growth providing premium smart home as a service, this deeper collaboration is an important and natural evolution of our relationship and we look forward to what the future has in store."
"With our commitment to innovation, we're proud to be the exclusive provider for the new 2GIG GC3 panel," said Nate Natale, Alarm.com's Senior Vice President of Sales.
