Aging POTS Lines in Elevator Emergency Communication

Client’s Challenge

A large commercial real estate company faced several issues with their aging copper POTS lines used for elevator emergency communication. These lines were becoming increasingly unreliable due to frequent service interruptions, rising maintenance costs, and vulnerability to weather damage. On top of these challenges, the price of maintaining a single POTS line had increased substantially, further straining the company’s operational budget. The company was struggling to meet updated compliance regulations for emergency communication systems.
