Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for transferring security event data over one of a plurality of cellular networks of different cellular carrier. A minimum acceptable signal quality for a connection between a radio transceiver and a cellular network is set. The signal quality for a connection between the radio transceiver and each of a plurality of cellular network receivers for the different cellular carriers is then determined. The radio transceiver is connected to the cellular network receiver for the cellular carrier exhibiting the greatest signal quality above the minimum acceptable signal quality. If this connection fails or is lost, the radio transceiver is connected to the cellular network receiver for an alternate cellular carrier exhibiting the next greatest acceptable signal quality above the minimum acceptable signal quality. Security event data is then transmitted from the radio transceiver to a remote central monitoring facility over the established cellular connection.
