by Rebecca Walker — January 5, 2009—AES Corporation recently received confirmation that its AES-IntelliNet MultiNet long-range mesh alarm communications system foiled a jewel heist attempt in Hemet, California.
The local police department was on the scene in 10 minutes thanks to the speed of AES-IntelliNet radio alarm communications system, says the company. Two men were taken into custody when they were caught trying to collect the jewelry and exit the store. A news report confirms that both men were taken into custody and held at Riverside County jail.
According to the local police department, the two men cut through the wall of a vacant business next to Dan’s Jewelry store and immediately destroyed the burglar alarm control panel.
Morgan Hertel of The Command Center said, “The control panel was taken out so fast that the digital dialer signal never made it through. Evidently the thieves knew exactly where to come through the wall at the alarm panel site but they were not expecting to encounter the speed of AES-IntelliNet. If this site did not have the protection of AES-IntelliNet, we would never have received the alarm signal and it would have gone down very differently. The subscriber would have suffered a loss and the burglars would not have been apprehended.”
The AES-IntelliNet’s MultiNet alarm communications system is a self healing, long-range wireless mesh radio communication network and works in conjunction with the Internet to provide customers the ability to monitor alarms in multiple regions from one location, without recurring monthly communications costs or infrastructure fees typically associated with remote monitoring.
