CARLSBAD, Calif.—2GIG Technologies, a home security systems developer known for its Go!Control panel—an all-in-one security and home automation system with a touchscreen interface—recently announced a voluntary recall of some of the GSM radio modules used with the panels because of a possibility they might overheat.
“We decided to do this out of an abundance of caution,” Todd Santiago, president of the company, which is based here, told Security Systems News in an email interview. He said problems occurred with a miniscule number of modules—just three out of more than 500,000 GSM modules 2GIG has sold are reported to have failed—but he said the company reacted swiftly.
