History
[edit]Sonitrol was founded in Anderson, Texas in 1960 by Robert Baxter.
Acquisition of Broadview Security
[edit]In early 2010, Tyco International announced that it was acquiring Brink's Home Security Holdings, (operating as Broadview Security) and was merging the company with its ADT brand name in a transaction valued at $2.0 billion. The transaction, which was finalized and closed mid-2010, combined the #1 and #2 security companies in North America, adding Broadview's 1.3 million customer accounts and $565 million in annual recurring revenue to ADT's existing customer base of 7.4 million accounts and $7 billion in annual recurring revenue.[1]
Operations today
[edit]
ADT is the largest security company in the United States and Canada, serving over 6.5 million customers. As of 2013 ADT holds 25% market share of the residential market and 13% of the small business market in the US. ADT maintains four monitoring stations in the United States and two in Canada.
ADT dealers
[edit]ADT has an authorized dealer program. Under this program, independent dealers offer security system installations which are then monitored by ADT. Some ADT Authorized Dealers use similar Honeywell/Ademco products as installed by ADT, while other dealers utilize GE/ITI or DSC products.
Whether a customer purchases ADT monitoring services directly from ADT or through an authorized dealer, a monitoring contract is required.
