This initiative gives developers and solution providers direct access to a robust foundation for building next-generation alarm communication systems—with fewer integration hurdles and more consistent results.

🧰Built to last—and now open to all

Developed and continuously refined over the past 10 years by Swissdotnet SA, a Switzerland-based software company specializing in security communication, this implementation is battle tested and production ready, covering both transmission and reception of DC-09 messages.

💬 “Opening it up felt like the natural next step,” said Steve Jacot-Guillarmod, CEO of Swissdotnet.
“Our goal is to reduce friction for developers and help the industry move forward with better tools and stronger interoperability.”
