The new TG-7FEM multi-carrier 5G LTE-M and Internet commercial fire communicator offers the best in alarm communications. Like Telguard’s most recent introduction, the TG-7FM, the TG-7FEM harnesses groundbreaking multi-carrier capability with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon all built in. It continually checks service, enabling the carrier to be automatically switched if an outage is detected. What differentiates the TG-7FEM is its added ability to connect to a facility’s Ethernet LAN, providing a dual pathway for alarm signal transmission from the premises to the central monitoring station. Internet can be set as the primary path, backup to cellular, or disabled. The TG-7FEM easily connects to the panel DACT (dialer) to replace expensive landlines and communicates using 5G-LTE-M technology to ensure uninterrupted signal and product longevity. And users can opt to send signals to any central station they choose. It operates on 12/24-volt DC panel power or via AC outlet and complies with NFPA 72. The TG-7FEM is the one communicator that’s perfect for every job and offers more redundancy at an economical cost, in a UL Listed device.

On March 4-5, several TMA leaders, members and staff members took part in the industry’s annual Security Hill Walk, which was organized by The Security Industry Association (SIA). ESA leaders, members and staff members also took part in the event, which brought more than than 60 security industry executives to Washington, D.C., to promote important policy priorities that affect our industries every day.
Topics and priorities covered ranged from artificial intelligence and data privacy to workforce development and various critical homeland security grant programs.
On March 4, this year’s Security Hill Day kicked off with the Policy Leadership Dinner, featuring special guest speakers Tom Wheeler, general Counsel for the U.S. Department of Education, and Brendan Buck, a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News.
Wheeler spoke to attendees about the current state of school security and what can be done to make schools safer for students and faculty. Buck helped demystify some of the inner workings of Washington, D.C., and put in context the importance of industry engagement with policymakers at this critical time.
On the following morning, the events began with an informative policy breakfast featuring remarks from Rep. Aaron Bean (R-Fla.) from the House Committee on Ways and Means, Rep. David Joyce (R-Pa.) from the Committee on Energy and Commerce and Robert Boland, chief of staff to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.).
Experts discussed the latest policy developments on a range of issues, including important details of the tax reform package under development, tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, new efforts on crafting a national data privacy law, Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission policies, school security and the outlook and challenges facing the new 119th Congress following the 2024 elections.
Once the Policy Breakfast concluded, Security Hill Day attendees spent the rest of the day meeting with lawmakers and their staff from both the Senate and House.
Why Security Hill Day is So Crucial for the Industry
Security industry leaders relayed policy priorities important to the industry and highlight its support for more than 2 million jobs (according to SIA’s recent study), as well as the crucial role our industry plays in providing solutions that safeguard the American people and our nation’s vital assets and infrastructure.
In just one day, participants were able to meet with 73 congressional offices, as company executives provided a unique outlook on how policies under consideration directly affect their businesses, customers and employees. At the end of the day, participants joined members of Congress and staff for the Security Hill Day reception in the historic Speaker’s Dining Room within the U.S. Capitol building.
Security Hill Day continues to serves as a powerful platform for the security industry to make its voice heard and provide valuable insight to lawmakers, relaying the needs of the industry, spurring action and fostering important relationships.
This is an excerpt from an article written by George Sewell, the manager of government relations for the Security Industry Association. The original version of this post appeared on SIA’s website and is used with permission.
On March 18, 2025, members of the security industry will hear an impactful and personal assessment of the tragic and devasting wildfires upon the surrounding communities and offer the opportunity for interested industry stakeholders to discuss a potential role in the recovery efforts.
This program, co-presented by the Security Industry Association, the Electronic Security Association, PSA and The Monitoring Association, is developed for information purposes and to raise awareness of current recovery efforts that may involve security strategies; it is not intended to be a platform for any endorsement of specific security products or services.

The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named Holly Borgmann of ADT as the 2025 recipient of the SIA Chair’s Award, an award presented annually and selected by SIA’s Board of Directors chair recognizing SIA members’ diligent efforts in furthering the association’s mission and commitment to its future.
SIA will present Borgmann with the award at Security Hill Day, an executive event that raises the collective voice of the security industry with members of Congress and their staff.
Holly Borgmann is the Vice President of Government Affairs at ADT, a provider of electronic security, home automation, and alarm monitoring services. She has advocated for and successfully enacted meaningful legislative and regulatory changes at the state and federal levels to help clear the way for increased adoption of new technology in homes and businesses.

Borgmann has been recognized for her contributions to the industry, winning the Security Systems News’ 20 Under 40 award in 2015 and the SIA Industry Advocate Award (then the SIA Statesman Award) in 2017, was named one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Tech in 2019, and earned a place on the SIA Women in Security Forum Power 100 list in 2023.

In addition to serving as secretary of SIA’s Board of Directors, Borgmann is a member of the Security Industry Alarm Coalition Board of Directors.
“SIA’s ability to bring together so many best-in-class industry experts to advance policies, priorities, and best practices helps to make us all safer and more secure,” said Borgmann. “I’m honored to have been selected for this year’s Chair’s Award.”
Borgmann has served on the SIA Board of Directors since 2022 and serves as secretary on the SIA Executive Committee. She has been a key leader and volunteer with SIA, with active engagement in SIA’s Women in Security Forum community and a founding member of the Power 100 subcommittee, dedicating substantial time and expertise to evaluating hundreds of nominations each year for the distinguished award program.
Borgmann is heavily involved in SIA’s government relations and industry relations efforts. She serves as vice chair of the SIA Government Relations Committee, which helps identify and advise SIA members regarding legislation, regulations, and other policy trends or pending government actions affecting the security industry and makes high-level recommendations for related actions, and she has also served as a member of SIA’s SecurityPAC Board of Trustees and the Identity and Biometric Technology Advisory Board. Additionally, she serves on the SIA Data Privacy Advisory Board.
“Holly Borgmann is an inspiring security industry leader who has made invaluable contributions to SIA and the industry through her leadership on SIA programs, committees, and initiatives,” said Scott Dunn, chair of the SIA Board of Directors and senior director, business development at Axis Communications. “Holly’s expert leadership on the SIA Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and Government Relations Committee, as well as her dedication of time and knowledge on initiatives like the SIA Women in Security Forum Power 100 program and in our member-led advisory boards, have been extremely impactful, and her strong support and advocacy have helped us to further SIA’s mission and push the industry forward. We are thrilled to recognize her with the 2025 SIA Chair’s Award and look forward to celebrating her and her accomplishments with this well-deserved honor.”
