ELEVATOR COMMUNICATIONS
Elevator Connectivity, Monitoring & Communications
Connected Communications for Modern Elevator Systems
Elevator communication is more than a phone line. Today’s elevators can depend on reliable connectivity for emergency communications, monitoring, IoT devices, remote diagnostics, and an expanding range of intelligent building technologies.
LinkWorx delivers the connectivity infrastructure that brings these systems together.
From modernizing legacy elevator phone lines to connecting monitoring centers and advanced IoT platforms, elevator companies, property managers, building owners, and technology providers incorporate LinkWorx solutions to establish dependable communications across their elevator deployments.
One Connection. Multiple Critical Functions.
As elevator technology evolves, communications, equipment monitoring, sensors, cloud platforms, and remote diagnostic tools increasingly depend on reliable data connectivity.
LinkWorx provides connectivity solutions that can support:
- Elevator emergency communications.
- Cellular replacement for legacy telephone lines.
- 4G/LTE and 5G connectivity.
- Elevator monitoring systems.
- IoT sensors and gateways.
- Remote diagnostics and equipment data.
- Cloud-based elevator platforms.
- Connectivity redundancy and failover.
- Multi-site and multi-elevator deployments.
Whether you are modernizing a single elevator or managing communications across a larger portfolio, LinkWorx can build the connectivity foundation behind your elevator technology.
Modernizing Elevator Communications
Traditional telephone infrastructure continues to change, creating a need for modern alternatives to legacy elevator phone connections.
LinkWorx enables elevator companies to transition to cellular and IP-based connectivity designed to support elevator communication applications.
Rather than treating connectivity as a standalone component, LinkWorx can create a communications architecture that connects emergency phones, monitoring services, gateways, sensors, and other elevator technologies.
This provides a flexible foundation for current communication requirements while supporting the continued evolution of connected elevator systems.
Why Cellular for Elevator Infrastructure?
Replacing legacy POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines with managed cellular solutions eliminates rising landline costs while significantly increasing system reliability.
- Multi-Carrier Redundancy: Automatic switching between nationwide carriers ensures your emergency lines and monitoring systems never lose connection.
- Code Compliance: Full alignment with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 building codes and emergency communication mandates.
- Rapid Deployment: Skip the weeks-long wait for wireline installations with plug-and-play cellular hardware.
- Predictable Operational Expenses: Transparent monthly data plans with zero surprise landline price hikes.
Wholesale Monitoring for Elevator Companies
Powered by Beacon Elevator Monitoring
When an elevator emergency call is placed, reliable connectivity is only one part of the communication chain. The monitoring operation receiving that call is equally important.
LinkWorx partners with Beacon Elevator Monitoring to offer wholesale elevator monitoring services designed specifically for elevator companies.
Beacon provides 24/7/365 elevator monitoring with operators trained to handle elevator-related calls and situations. Customized response and dispatch procedures can be established around the requirements of the elevator company, building, and application.
By combining LinkWorx connectivity with Beacon’s monitoring services, elevator companies can provide a more complete communications solution to their customers from the equipment in the building to the monitoring center receiving the call.
Connecting Elevator IoT & Intelligence
Supporting Technologies from CEDES
Elevator connectivity is expanding beyond emergency communications.
Technologies from CEDES demonstrate how sensors, IoT devices, cloud platforms, and connectivity can provide elevator companies with greater visibility into equipment operation.
CEDES Elevate is a controller-agnostic IoT solution designed for both new and existing elevators. Connected sensor technology can provide information about elevator operation, suspected shutdowns, performance conditions, traffic patterns, and other operational data.
Solutions such as these depend on connectivity to move information from the elevator to cloud-based platforms where it can be monitored and analyzed.
LinkWorx provides the communications and connectivity infrastructure that connects elevator IoT technologies to the networks and platforms they depend on.
From Emergency Communications to Connected Elevators
Modern elevator connectivity can support multiple applications within a single communications strategy.
Emergency Communications
Cellular and IP connectivity can provide the communications path between elevator equipment and the appropriate monitoring operation.
Wholesale Monitoring for Elevator Companies
Through Beacon Elevator Monitoring, LinkWorx enables elevator companies to incorporate professional 24/7/365 monitoring into their communications offering.
IoT Connectivity
Connected sensors, gateways, and elevator technologies can transmit operational information to remote and cloud-based platforms.
Remote Visibility
Platforms such as CEDES Elevate can turn elevator data into useful information about equipment operation, performance, and usage
Data-Driven Maintenance
Access to elevator operating data enables service organizations to identify trends, investigate developing issues, and make more informed maintenance decisions.
Connectivity is what brings these systems together.
Connectivity Built Around the Elevator Industry
Elevator communication requirements vary from one installation to another. Existing building infrastructure, equipment, carrier coverage, monitoring requirements, IoT technology, and modernization plans can all influence the appropriate connectivity solution.
LinkWorx brings together network connectivity, communications technology, and specialized industry relationships, enabling elevator companies to develop solutions around their specific applications.
Whether the objective is replacing a legacy elevator phone connection, adding wholesale monitoring through Beacon Elevator Monitoring, connecting IoT technology from companies such as CEDES, or deploying connectivity across a larger elevator portfolio, LinkWorx can connect the components.
