Is There an LTE Communicator For a VISTA 21iPLTE Panel

Yes, there is an LTE communicator for a VISTA 21iPLTE Panel. It is the Honeywell Home LTE-21V which offers service from the Verizon LTE Network. The AT&T version of a plug-in communicator was never released. If you need an AT&T communicator, opt for a VISTA-20P and an external one instead.

The Honeywell Home VISTA 21iPLTE supports a convenient plug-in LTE communicator that is designed exclusively for use with this system. This plug-in module is perfect for DIY users, as they can connect the LTE-21V to the system board very easily. Since the VISTA21iPLTE already has a built-in IP communicator, adding the LTE-21V will make the system dual-path ready. This is very important for achieving fast and reliable monitoring service. If the internet goes down, the VISTA 21iPLTE System will automatically switch over to its cellular backup.

There is really no choice when selecting an LTE communicator for a VISTA21iPLTE System. The only available option is the LTE-21V. The LTE-21V communicates using the Verizon LTE Network. Unfortunately, the plan to add an LTE-21A, which would have used the AT&T LTE network has not panned out. If you can get decent coverage from the Verizon LTE Network, then go with the LTE-21V. If you must have an AT&T LTE communicator, then we recommend the VISTA-20P and an external dual-path radio instead.

To activate any cellular communicator, you will need a monitoring plan that includes cellular service. Alarm Grid customers can choose between any Gold or Platinum Level Monitoring Plan (Self or Full). Activating the communicator will connect it with the AlarmNet360 Servers for monitoring service. It will also allow you to use Total Connect 2.0 with the system. This is an interactive monitoring and automation platform that you can use to control your system remotely. By accessing Total Connect 2.0, you can arm and disarm, check current system status, control automation devices, and more.
