"Ultimate Student Living Community" Provides Monitored Security in Every Home;
Adds Peace of Mind for Students and their Parents
MCLEAN, Va.--(Business Wire)--
FrontPoint Security, the leader in next-generation, wireless security systems,
today announced that it has completed the first phase of a mass installation
project with The Homes at Chimney Ridge at Clemson, Clemson University`s only
traditional neighborhood student living community. Over the course of a weekend,
members of the FrontPoint Security team traveled to Chimney Ridge and personally
installed over 100 home security systems in the community`s individual detached
homes and rental office. Chimney Ridge at Clemson is located approximately two
miles away from Clemson University in Central, South Carolina. 

"We chose FrontPoint over a number of other security vendors because their
systems were very user-friendly and catered to our student residents who tend to
only have cell phones," said Matt Taylor, owner of Chimney Ridge at Clemson.
"FrontPoint was also the only company that could complete this project in our
time frame at a reasonable price." 

Every home at Chimney Ridge is equipped with its own FrontPoint system complete
with wireless monitoring. Each resident has a unique code to arm and disarm the
system, and codes are reassigned when tenants change in order to keep the most
secure environment possible. All equipment and monthly monitoring fees are fully
covered by Chimney Ridge at Clemson. 

FrontPoint`s next-generation home security systems run over an all-cellular
network that is safer than traditional alarm systems that run over a landline
phone line, which can be disabled by simply cutting the phone line or power
cord. This is especially important as most students do not have a landline phone
and could not be serviced by a traditional alarm company. 

"Chimney Ridge caters to Clemson students that have never lived independently,"
Taylor added. "The addition of FrontPoint has provided peace of mind for parents
and made our community a top choice for sophomores and juniors who want to live
on their own but also stay close to campus and feel secure." 

The FrontPoint system includes small wireless sensors that can be placed on
virtually anything inside or outside the home and the user can be notified
instantly through e-mail or text message whenever a sensor is activated. All
equipment is made by GE and can be monitored from any Internet connection,
iPhone or BlackBerry. 

FrontPoint Security is fully licensed to operate in the state of South Carolina
and is also fully compliant in all 50 states.
