Interference management using out-of-band signaling

A system comprising:

• a receiver to communicate according to a first frequency;
• a first transceiver;
• a second transceiver to communicate according to a second frequency;
• first logic to disable the first transceiver in response to a request received at the first frequency via the receiver, the first transceiver to communicate using a third frequency, and the first logic further to generate a response to be transmitted at the second frequency.

A services controller comprising:

• a receiver to receive communications from a first device at a first frequency;
• a first transceiver to communicate with the first device at a second frequency;
• a second transceiver to communicate at a third frequency with a second device;
• and
• first logic to disable the second transceiver in response to a request received at the first frequency via the receiver from the first device and further to generate a response to be transmitted at the second frequency to the first device from the second transceiver.

A method comprising:

• detecting a user input at a home safety device;
• determining whether the user input is a panic input;
• if the user input is determined to be a panic input, then selecting a first frequency with which to communicate with a services controller and sending a panic message corresponding to the panic input to the services controller at the first frequency;
• if no response is received from the services controller responsive to the panic message sent at the first frequency, then selecting a second frequency to communicate with the service controller;
• and
• if the user input is determined not to be a panic input, then selecting the second frequency with which to communicate with the services controller.
