SENTINEL <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pro-actively managed lift emergency communications service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SENTINEL supports lift contractors by removing the complexity of lift emergency communications, while respecting and reinforcing existing maintenance and service relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivered and managed by AVIRE, SENTINEL is designed to work alongside lift contractors as installation and delivery partners, not competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive partnerships to support critical lift communications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lift emergency communications are critical, but they sit alongside many other responsibilities for lift contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Managing connectivity, battery performance, ongoing fault resolution and administration can add complexity and operational burden, particularly across large or mixed portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


SENTINEL exists to simplify this part of the lift ecosystem, not to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Partnership<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The SENTINEL approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SENTINEL delivers lift emergency communications as a pro-actively managed service<\/strong>, rather than placing ongoing responsibility on lift contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVIRE manages connectivity, service oversight and administration, while lift contractors remain responsible for installation and ongoing lift maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This clear separation of roles helps reduce friction and supports efficient delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\t \n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Why is PSTN migration a concern for lift alarms? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

PSTN \u2018Landlines\u2019 or analogue lines are used widely to provide connectivity for emergency lift communications systems, to meet the needs of EN 81-28. These services will be ceased on 31st<\/sup> January 2027 as a result of the UK\u2019s telephone network – the Public Switched telephone Network -(PSTN) closing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, to maintain your clients\u2019 compliance, they need to be migrated to a new communications products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking with your client now is urgent, as putting in place alternate arrangements may be a lengthy process, especially for large lift estates.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Will this replace my role as the lift maintenance provider? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

No. Managed connectivity supports lift contractors by ensuring the emergency communication pathway remains operational. Mechanical servicing, safety inspections, and contract responsibility remain with you.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n How can digital migration cause call failures? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

Autodiallers with PSTN lines use a signalling protocol known as Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF). These signals are used during call set up, during a call and at call closure. They are designed to work over analogue networks and do not readily work in a digital or IP environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternate solutions need to work in a consistent manner across all Communication Provider networks. The use of analogue to digital converters, to avoid the need to replace hardware is not recommended as these have been proven not to work consistently across different Communication Provider\u2019s access networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital, IP or cellular services require local power, because power is not fed down \u2018the line\u2019. In a localised power cut this means service will stop working unless a battery backup or UPS or in place.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Does managed connectivity increase engineering complexity? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

Moving to a managed connectivity solution has no impact on the complexity of the solution. Indeed, they will bring additional benefits through central monitoring of each lift, identifying & initiating remedial action to any faults that arise. This means engineers can focus on their core responsibility – mechanical and safety servicing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Who manages SIMs and battery monitoring? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

With a managed service, SIM status and battery resilience are monitored automatically. Alerts are issued if an issue arises, reducing the need for manual checks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Will this interfere with my service contracts? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

Connectivity management is designed to complement service contracts by reducing communication-related faults and protecting performance against avoidable failures.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Is additional power backup necessary? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

PSTN lines benefit from power being provided down the line from telephone exchanges, meaning that in the event of a power cut, these lines continue to function. Digital fixed line and cellular solutions require local powering and so power back-up must be implemented to maintain compliance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n How does this support my customers? <\/div>\n \"arrow\"\n <\/div>\n
\n \n

By reducing communication failures and improving visibility, managed connectivity helps contractors maintain service reliability and strengthen long-term client relationships.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
