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

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.
