The Digital Switch is currently underway and could have already affected your area. The change from copper to fibre lines will affect the resilience of lift emergency phone lines – particularly during power failures, which is the most likely time when an entrapment may occur.
And that means that under the following conditions you’ll get fibre (whether you asked for it or not)!
Stop sell means that no new analogue services can be ordered. This includes even the following situations:
Lift regulations indicate that lift owners are required to provide a resilient 2-way emergency communication connection to the lift. Failure to comply could leave lift owners liable.
As the digital switch continues to move forward throughout the UK, existing phone lines are becoming non-resilient and cannot be used during a power cut – one of the most likely moments when a lift entrapment could occur!
Ensure your emergency equipment is compliant and that the backup batteries are fully charged, regularly monitored and reliable.
Our solution offers both signal and battery back up to your emergency connection enabling your trapped customers to dial out, even in a power failure.
Real time monitoring of the connection and power status with remote diagnostics and fault resolution. Digital audit trails for when you need it.
We manage your connectivity transition across your portfolio, without any up front fees. And no matter how complex your portfolio, you will only ever receive one monthly bill.
