How Your Life Safety Devices are Impacted by Landline Technology Phaseout

The emergency phones inside your elevators have historically been low-cost to maintain and keep compliant. That is no longer the case. As cellular networks have become more reliable and affordable, the traditional fixed phone line infrastructure has become significantly more expensive as analog gets decommissioned.

What Does This Mean for You?

Moving away from traditional landlines isn’t a one-size-fits-all exercise. While your non-emergency communications can be switched to VoIP or other low-cost internet-based solutions, life-safety devices such as elevator phones are required by code to maintain strict communications reliability, and as such are transitioning to digital cellular services to ensure compliance – at a significantly lower cost than fixed analog lines.

We strongly recommend upgrading your fixed lines to a Kings III cellular solution today to lower your costs, ensure code compliance and guarantee reliability for the future.
