Elevators are an essential part of urban infrastructure, making over 18 billion passenger trips annually in the U.S. The 2019 ASME code mandates one-way video communication streams in elevators to aid emergency personnel and assist riders who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired during emergencies. This advanced system helps emergency teams assess situations more accurately and reduce false emergency calls, which currently number up to 1,000 daily.

The Challenge of Elevator Communication

Elevators rely heavily on consistent communication systems to ensure:

Emergency Response

In case of an emergency, immediate and reliable communication with rescue services is critical.

Maintenance Coordination

Technicians need dependable lines for diagnostics and coordination during maintenance activities.

Passenger Assurance

Passengers must feel secure knowing they can communicate with help at any time.

However, traditional POTS lines, which have long supported these systems, are becoming less reliable and more expensive to maintain. The transition to a modern solution that ensures compliance and uninterrupted service is essential.
