Nurse Call Comparison

Looking for a TekTone alternative in Illinois?

TekTone makes solid nurse call hardware, and Jeron's Provider series competes in the same UL 1069 category. The difference most Illinois facilities feel isn't the spec sheet — it's who designs, installs, certifies, and answers the phone afterward. Nexus is the Jeron-authorized distributor for Illinois with a Schaumburg-based service team and a managed-service model behind every install.

Common questions

Is Jeron better than TekTone?

They're comparable UL 1069 platforms. The bigger variable is who designs, installs, and supports the system. Nexus is Illinois' Jeron-authorized distributor, and we put our name on the installation and the ongoing service — that's the difference we control.

Can Nexus service my existing TekTone system?

We focus our service operations on Jeron and RCare platforms. If you have a TekTone system reaching end of life or end of support, we can assess a phased replacement that reuses cabling where practical.

What does a Jeron system cost compared to TekTone?

Hardware pricing is comparable in the category. The total cost difference comes from installation design, documentation, and the support model — which is why we quote per facility after a site survey, not from a list price.
