BOCA RATON, Fla.—ADT started providing its sales reps with iPads a few months ago, and has found the wireless devices so useful in boosting sales that it plans to put them in the hands of all its approximately 4,000 reps by the end of 2012, according to Joe O’Connell, VP of residential sales ADT North America.
There were some interesting tidbits on today’s Tyco earnings call—about earnings of course, but also about new cable/telco entrants into the security industry, stats on ADT’s PULSE offering, and a progress report on the conglomerate's split into three, separate, publicly traded companies.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Tyco International, parent company of ADT, is in talks to acquire security product manufacturer Visonic, which is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
“I can confirm that we’re in discussion with Visonic and that may or may not lead to definitive transaction,” Tyco spokesman Paul FitzHenry told Security Systems News on June 21.
