Ready to Review your Elevator Communication System?
If your facility restricts external networks or cloud platforms, your elevator emergency communication system should follow the same standard.
RATH® SmartView Offline provides secure, local control of these functions while supporting accessibility and elevator safety code requirements.
Our team can work with your facilities, security, and IT staff to evaluate your current system and determine whether SmartView Offline is the right fit for your building.
