In North Macedonia, security distributors face a choice: run cable through reinforced concrete walls, or settle for wireless that loses signal after one floor. PERPETUUMOBILE SECURITY, Roombanker’s exclusive distribution partner for North Macedonia, found a third option.
The Company
PERPETUUMOBILE SECURITY is a North Macedonia-based distributor of intrusion detection, video surveillance, and integrated security systems. The company supplies equipment and technical support to a network of local installers serving residential and commercial customers across the country.
Before the partnership with Roombanker, PERPETUUMOBILE operated like most Western Balkan distributors — sourcing intrusion detection from one manufacturer and video surveillance from another. Each product line carried its own supply chain, software platform, training curriculum, and technical support contact. For a distributor managing installer networks across multiple cities, this meant maintaining expertise across several vendor ecosystems without any integration benefit.
The Challenge
The Western Balkans security market is valued at approximately EUR 420 million annually (BMI Research, 2025), yet wireless technology accounts for less than 25 percent of new installations. Wired systems dominate, partly due to installer familiarity and partly due to a genuine technical barrier: reinforced concrete construction, standard across Balkan buildings, degrades most wireless signals to the point of unreliability.
For PERPETUUMOBILE, this created two distinct problems.
First, the company needed a wireless platform that could hold a signal through concrete floors and walls without requiring repeaters at every turn. Without this, wireless was not a viable option for the retrofit residential segment — a growing market where running cable through finished interiors is cost-prohibitive.
Second, managing multiple vendor relationships meant carrying separate inventories, tracking separate firmware updates, and troubleshooting across different technical support teams. When a customer wanted both alarm and video — the most common scenario — PERPETUUMOBILE had to coordinate two systems not designed to work together.
Before the Roombanker partnership, the operational overhead of multi-vendor security looked like this:
| Area | Before (Multi-Vendor) | After (Roombanker Single Platform) |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer relationships | 2-3 separate vendors | 1 |
| Software platforms | Separate alarm app + video app | Single RB Link app |
| Installer training | Per-vendor curriculum | Unified training |
| Technical support | Multiple contacts, escalation chains | Single point of contact |
| Alarm-video integration | Non-existent, independent systems | Automatic linkage on one network |
| Firmware management | Separate update cycles for each brand | Single ecosystem versioning |
| Inventory | Spare parts across 2-3 vendors | Single product line |
The Roombanker Solution
PERPETUUMOBILE evaluated wireless platforms against two criteria: signal reliability through concrete and the ability to deliver alarm and video as a unified system. Roombanker’s RBF-based ecosystem met both.
RBF Protocol is Roombanker’s proprietary wireless communication protocol, achieving a measured 3,500-meter (2.17-mile) range in open air. It is built around the RBF SIP Chip, a low-power IoT system-in-package developed in-house by Roombanker’s 100-plus R&D engineers. The practical result for Balkan buildings: a signal that maintains stability through reinforced concrete across multiple floors, without repeaters at every intermediate point. For PERPETUUMOBILE, this meant a wireless platform actually suited to the construction conditions its installers work in daily.
A single Roombanker Security Alarm Gateway supports up to 128 wireless devices — PIR Motion Sensors with 25 kg pet immunity and 12-meter detection range, Door/Window Magnetic Sensors, Indoor and Outdoor Alarm Sirens rated at 110 dB, Keypads, Panic Buttons, and environmental detectors. With the 2025 addition of Roombanker’s CCTV line — 2K HD IP cameras featuring AI-based human and vehicle classification, recording to an ONVIF-compatible NVR — PERPETUUMOBILE gained the ability to offer video surveillance on the same wireless network, managed through the RB Link mobile application alongside the alarm system.
For PERPETUUMOBILE, consolidating around this single platform meant replacing two or three vendor relationships with one. One supply chain. One training program. One technical support contact. The operational efficiency gain was immediate, and it came without reducing the product range the company could offer its installer network.
Why Wireless Penetration Remained Low in the Balkans
Reinforced concrete construction is the norm across the Western Balkans, not the exception. Most wireless security protocols available today were designed for timber-frame or drywall construction common in North America and Northern Europe. When those same protocols encounter a 20-centimeter concrete floor slab, signal attenuation typically reduces effective range by 60 to 80 percent.
RBF Protocol was designed for these conditions from the ground up. Rather than adapting an existing wireless standard, Roombanker engineered its own physical-layer protocol and the silicon to run it. The RBF SIP Chip’s power management allows strong signal transmission without the battery drain that typically limits range in battery-powered security sensors. The result is a platform that delivers reliable communication through the building materials that installers in North Macedonia — and across the Balkans — encounter on every job.
Deployment at Adria Security Summit 2025
The partnership was formally launched at the Adria Security Summit 2025, where PERPETUUMOBILE and Roombanker demonstrated a live integrated installation. Attendees watched a PIR Motion Sensor trip trigger automatic 2K camera recording and a simultaneous push notification to the RB Link app — two security functions on one RBF wireless network, managed from a single interface.
For many Balkan security professionals at the summit, it was the first working demonstration of a full-wireless intrusion-plus-video system at that price point operating without a wired backbone.
For the installers watching, the practical implications were immediate. A residential retrofit job that once required two site visits — one for alarm cabling, one for camera cabling — can be completed in a single trip. The 110 dB siren, PIR Motion Sensor, and 2K camera all communicate through the same gateway: one device to mount, one network to commission, one app to configure.
Under Roombanker’s One Country One Distributor model, PERPETUUMOBILE holds exclusive distribution rights for North Macedonia. The agreement includes the option to extend into Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Kosovo.
Partner Perspective
“North Macedonia’s security market has been underserved in wireless technology — most installers still run wired loops,” said Filip Stojanovski, Managing Director of PERPETUUMOBILE SECURITY. “At the summit, we demonstrated a live alarm-and-video installation running on a single wireless network — two separate security functions managed side by side. No other manufacturer at the summit offered a comparable single-platform proposition at this price point.”
Andreas Weber, Head of Europe at Roombanker, commented: “The Balkans are a price-sensitive but technically demanding security market. Installers need products that perform reliably across mountainous terrain and dense urban environments. That combination of protocol-layer performance and local support is what makes a full-wireless ecosystem viable.”
Results and Outlook
For PERPETUUMOBILE SECURITY, the partnership replaces what previously required two or three vendor relationships with a single product ecosystem. The company’s installer network gains a wireless platform designed for the construction conditions they encounter daily — concrete walls, multi-floor buildings, mixed terrain — without the overhead of multi-vendor coordination.
A 2025 report from BMI Research values the broader Western Balkans security market at EUR 420 million. With wireless penetration below 25 percent, the transition from wired to wireless in Balkan security is in its early stages. PERPETUUMOBILE is positioned to lead that transition with a platform that addresses the specific technical barrier — signal reliability through concrete — that previously held wireless adoption back.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does RBF compare to other wireless protocols in concrete buildings?
RBF operates in the sub-GHz band (868 MHz in Europe), which penetrates reinforced concrete with 60–80% less signal attenuation than 2.4 GHz protocols like Wi-Fi and Zigbee. In PERPETUUMOBILE’s testing, a single R2 Hub covered sites that would have required 2–3 repeaters with competing wireless platforms.
Can one hub really handle 128 devices?
Yes. The R2 Gateway supports up to 128 wireless sensors and detectors on a single network. PERPETUUMOBILE’s demo at Adria Security Summit 2025 confirmed this capacity live — covering intrusion detection, video surveillance, and alarm output simultaneously without performance degradation.
What makes the Roombanker CCTV line different from standard IP cameras?
Roombanker’s CCTV cameras integrate natively with the RBF Protocol rather than relying on Wi-Fi or separate NVR networks. This means a single RB Link app manages both alarm and video, with AI-powered human/vehicle classification and ONVIF-compatible NVR recording.
Is PERPETUUMOBILE the only Roombanker distributor in North Macedonia?
Yes. Under the One Country One Distributor model, PERPETUUMOBILE holds exclusive distribution rights for North Macedonia, with optional expansion into Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Kosovo.
Key takeaways for security distributors
• Single-vendor efficiency: Replacing 2-3 manufacturer relationships with one streamlines inventory, training, and technical support — reducing operational overhead without limiting product range.
• Wireless viability in concrete construction: The RBF Protocol’s signal strength through reinforced concrete removes the primary technical barrier that kept Balkan installations wired. Fewer repeaters means lower hardware cost per site.
• Alarm and video on one network: The integrated ecosystem eliminates the need for separate intrusion and video systems. Installers manage both functions from a single RB Link app, closing a gap that multi-vendor setups could not address.
• Regional expansion runway: With exclusive rights to North Macedonia and optional expansion into four neighboring markets, PERPETUUMOBILE can scale the same platform across borders — repeating the operational model without renegotiating vendor terms.
