Proper testing and data collection of the functionality of home security alarms should be incorporated into the IP transition trials, Paul Plofchan, ADT vice president-government and regulatory affairs, told an aide to FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai July 9, according to an ex parte notice (http://bit.ly/1zBPAs0) posted in docket 12-353 Friday. Communications services intended to replace plain old telephone service must meet certain technical criteria, the filing said. It is critical to safety for the telecommunications provider to test alarm functionality and line seizure, ADT said. Representatives of ML Strategies also participated in the meeting, the filing said.
