Switching from Mission Communications: your questions

Am I locked into a long contract with TankVitals?
No. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime, with flat, published rates starting at $30/mo and no hidden platform fees.
Can the S2C module replace my legacy RTU without rewiring the panel?
It is built for retrofits. The S2C drops into your existing control panel with 12 discrete alarm inputs, four 4-20mA analog channels, built-in temperature tracking and automatic AC power loss detection.
What warranty covers the hardware?
All in-house engineered S2C circuit boards carry a lifetime warranty. A typical Mission Communications plan includes a one-year limited warranty.
What happens if one cellular network drops?
Dual-SIM active redundancy with Verizon and AT&T is available out of the box, so a single carrier outage does not leave a site silent.
Who do I talk to when I need support?
You get direct access to the design and hardware engineers who build the platform, not an automated ticket queue.
How can I test it before committing?
