5 Things to Look For in an Elevator IoT Connectivity Partner
Elevators increasingly depend on connected technology for emergency communication, remote monitoring, and more. As a result, reliable connectivity has become an important part of modern elevator infrastructure. At the same time, traditional telephone infrastructure is changing. In the United States, there is no single nationwide deadline for shutting down every POTS line. However, telecom providers […]
How POTS Replacement Reduces Elevator Operating Costs by Up to 60%
Many elevator emergency phones still depend on POTS lines. These traditional copper telephone lines once provided a simple and dependable way to connect passengers with emergency personnel. However, telecom carriers are increasingly retiring legacy copper infrastructure, while the cost of maintaining remaining POTS services continues to rise. As a result, building owners and facility managers […]
POTS Replacement for Elevator Emergency Phones (The Complete Guide)
For decades, elevator emergency phones have relied on traditional copper telephone lines. That model is changing. Telecommunications providers are retiring aging copper infrastructure and moving customers toward newer network technologies. In March 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted rules intended to make it easier for providers to retire copper networks and transition to modern […]
How Remote Elevator Monitoring Reduces Downtime and Service Costs
When an elevator goes out of service, building owners may face tenant complaints, accessibility concerns, emergency service calls, technician travel costs, and lost operating time. Traditional maintenance can address many of these issues, but it often relies on scheduled inspections or someone noticing a problem after it has already developed. Remote elevator monitoring changes that […]
Why Multi-Carrier Connectivity Matters for Elevators in Every Building
Modern elevators can transmit operational data, fault information, alerts, and diagnostic information to technicians and monitoring platforms. That connectivity can help maintenance teams identify problems earlier and make faster service decisions. However, there is an important question that building owners and elevator service companies sometimes overlook: What happens if the cellular network connecting the elevator […]
Why Elevator Monitoring Systems Need Multi-Carrier IoT SIM Cards
Even the most advanced elevator monitoring system is only as reliable as the network carrying its data. If the connection fails because of poor coverage, network congestion, or a carrier outage, critical alerts may be delayed or lost entirely. This is where multi-carrier IoT SIM cards become essential. Unlike traditional SIM cards that rely on […]
