The UK’s Digital Switchover is happening fast – by 2025, all analogue telephone lines will be phased out and replaced with digital IP-based services. This means that many traditional lift autodiallers, which rely on copper phone lines, could soon stop working.
If your lift’s emergency communication system is still connected to an analogue line, now is the time to act.
The Problem
– Analogue phone lines are being retired nationwide.
– Many older lift autodiallers depend on these lines to call for help in an emergency.
– Without an upgrade, your lift could be left non-compliant and unsafe.
The Solution – Install a GSM Lift Communication Unit
A GSM unit replaces the need for a fixed phone line by using the mobile network to connect emergency calls directly to your monitoring centre or key contact.
– Key Benefits:
– Future-Proofing – Works with the UK’s new digital infrastructure, avoiding downtime when analogue lines are switched off.
– Cost Savings – Eliminate expensive landline rentals and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
– Reliable Communication – Independent of building telephone systems; continues to operate even during network changes.
– Easy Installation – No need for complex wiring or costly civil works.
– Compliance – Meets current EN 81-28 standards for lift emergency communication.
With a GSM unit, your lift’s emergency phone line will be ready for the future – ensuring passenger safety, legal compliance, and uninterrupted service.
Don’t leave it until the last minute – the switchover deadline is getting closer every day. Book your upgrade now to avoid unnecessary disruption.
