Quick Estimator

Why switch now

POTS is disappearing

Carriers are retiring copper and raising rates. Cellular gives you predictable costs and modern reliability.

Code & testing pressure

Monthly line checks and annual inspections require phones to actually dial out. We automate the proof.

Power outages

We include battery backup and power‑fail behavior that maintains emergency calling during outages.

How it works

  1. Site survey and signal check.
  2. Install cellular gateway with line seizure and battery backup.
  3. Program elevator phone (ADA auto‑dial + caller ID).
  4. Test with dispatch and produce pass/fail report.
  5. Optional remote monitoring + monthly auto test record.

FAQ

Will cellular work inside my 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 I need a separate line per elevator?

Many banks can share a seized line with proper priority and labeling. We’ll design per code and site conditions.

What happens in a power outage?

The backup supplies the gateway and phone, keeping emergency calling active for the specified duration.

Can you coordinate with our elevator company?

Yes. We regularly work alongside elevator contractors and AHJs to streamline inspections.
