BellSouth and Protection One have entered an agreement to deliver security services to BellSouth customers in residential communities.
"Security is a critical element in new and existing communities, and BellSouth can now deliver a package of voice, video, data and security that is attractive to developers and residents," said BellSouth Coummunity Technologies President Phil Jacobs.
According to a press release:
The joint sales and marketing arrangement is an expansion of the existing relationship between BellSouth and Protection One formed in 2001 to market security systems to residents and business owners in the southeastern United States. BellSouth(R) Security Systems from Protection One(R) currently provides intrusion, heat, smoke and carbon monoxide detection equipment and related services to customers in 18 cities.
BellSouth Community Technologies is BellSouth's most recently formed business unit, established last year. The new organization focuses on alliances with developers and owners of single family planned communities, apartments, and condos to develop technology deployment plans and to promote and offer one-stop shopping for BellSouth's full range of communications and entertainment services. This agreement provides for the inclusion of BellSouth Security Systems from Protection One in BellSouth's portfolio of services designed for planned communities.
"We believe adding our expertise as the leading provider of multihousing security to the comprehensive services already offered by BellSouth will be a tremendous benefit to builders and developers, greatly assisting in streamlining the completion of their jobs," said Protection One president and CEO Richard Ginsburg.
