Founded in 1986 by William De Nicolo, Telguard emerged from a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves the peace of mind that comes with a truly secure home or business. At a time when landline-based alarm systems could be disabled with a single snip of wire, Telguard pioneered cellular communication technology to ensure uninterrupted protection.
Transforming an Industry
“When the business started, cellular communicators were just an option,” said George Brody, President of Telguard. “Today, they are the critical path for security and life-safety communications. Telguard helped lead that transformation.”
From early AMPS cellular technology to today’s advanced IP integrations, Telguard has consistently embraced change and driven progress. This commitment to innovation recently culminated in the launch of its patent-pending Multi-Carrier alarm communicators—the first of their kind in the industry. These devices automatically select the strongest available signal from the Big 3 (AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile) and switch carriers as needed, ensuring unmatched reliability.
Customer Service with a Personal Touch
Beyond technology, Telguard has built its reputation on exceptional customer support. “We want to hear firsthand what our customers need,” said Melody Parham, Director of Sales. “That personal connection is what sets us apart.” This dedication has earned Telguard numerous awards and the trust of dealers and installers nationwide.
A Culture of People and Longevity
Telguard’s success is powered by its people. Many team members have been with the company for decades, a testament to its culture of support, transparency, and growth. “Our people make the business,” Brody emphasized. “Great training, opportunity for advancement, and a collaborative environment keep our team strong.”
Looking Ahead
While celebrating 40 years is a milestone, Telguard remains focused on the future. “Wireless technology is always advancing, and staying at the forefront will continue to generate tremendous opportunities,” Brody said. “We’re committed to delivering innovative solutions for our dealers that keep people safe.”
