Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about elevator phone conversions.
Will cellular work inside our machine room or hoistway?
We perform a signal survey and can add a discreet antenna if needed. Critical sites can use dual-carrier failover.
Do we need one line per elevator?
Many banks can share a seized line with proper priority and labeling. We design per code and site conditions.
What happens in a power outage?
The backup powers the gateway and phone path for 2–24 hours depending on your selected option.
Will this pass inspection?
Yes — we program ADA auto-dial, verify dial-out with dispatch, provide documentation, and label the system.
Can you work with our elevator company?
Absolutely. We coordinate schedules, provide as-builts, and share test logs as needed.
What’s the typical install time?
Most single-cab conversions are completed in a few hours once onsite with access.
