Autodialers & GSM
Autodialers
Autodialers are devices that automatically dial telephone numbers and deliver pre-recorded messages or alerts.
In the context of lifts (elevators), Autodialers serve as emergency communication systems. The Sim can either be provided by the client, or we can offer fully managed sim packages as well at extremely competitive rates.
Key Functions:
Mobile Communication: A GSM module allows the lift to communicate via cellular networks, ensuring that calls for help can be made even if landline services are unavailable.
Real-Time Monitoring: GSM technology can facilitate real time monitoring of lift systems, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing downtime.
SMS Alerts: The system can send SMS alerts to maintenance personnel or building managers in case of malfunctions, ensuring timely responses.
Importance In Lifts
Safety Assurance: Autodialers and GSM technology significantly enhance passenger safety by ensuring that help can be summoned instantly during emergencies.
Operational Efficiency: With real time monitoring and alerts, building management can proactively address issues, leading to reduced downtime and improved service reliability.
Compliance: Many regulations require that lifts be equipped with emergency communication systems. Autodialers and GSMs help buildings comply with these safety standards.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that there is an effective emergency communication system in place provides reassurance to passengers and building occupants.
Auto Dialler Digital Switchover
At Innovate Lifts Ltd, we are committed to ensuring that your lifts and mobility solutions are not only compliant but also equipped with the latest technology to keep them running efficiently and safely.
One of the critical updates affecting the lift industry is the Auto Dialler Digital Switchover, which involves transitioning from traditional analogue phone lines to modern digital communication systems. This change is part of the UK's ongoing digital switchover, which will see analogue phone lines phased out by 2025.
The Sim can either be provided by the client, or we can offer fully managed sim packages as well at extremely competitive rates.
Auto Dialler Switchover
What is the Auto Dialler Digital Switchover?
An auto dialler is a crucial safety feature installed in lifts, connecting passengers to an emergency response service in the event of a breakdown. Traditionally, these systems rely on analogue phone lines, but as the UK transitions to a fully digital network, these lines will no longer be available. This means that lift auto diallers must be upgraded or replaced to ensure they continue functioning after the switch to digital.
Why is the Digital Switchover Important?
The digital switchover is important because it directly impacts the safety and functionality of your lift’s emergency communication system. If the auto dialler isn’t upgraded, it could stop working when the analogue lines are decommissioned, putting passengers at risk in an emergency. Ensuring that your lift’s communication system is compatible with digital networks is not only a legal requirement but also essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of your lift.
How Innovate Lifts Ltd Can Help
At Innovate Lifts Ltd, we understand the importance of staying ahead of technological changes to ensure compliance and safety. We offer comprehensive solutions to upgrade your lift’s auto dialler in preparation for the digital switchover. Our expert team will assess your current system, provide advice on the most suitable upgrade, and carry out the installation efficiently to minimise disruption.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)
GSM Solutions: The Ideal Upgrade
One of the most effective solutions for the digital switchover is installing a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) auto dialler. A GSM system uses mobile network signals rather than traditional landlines, meaning it is future-proof and unaffected by the phase-out of analogue lines. It works similarly to a mobile phone, using a SIM card to connect the lift to the emergency response service.
Advantages of a GSM Solution
Future-Proof Technology: A GSM auto dialler ensures that your lift’s emergency communication system remains fully functional beyond the 2025 digital switchover, as it does not rely on outdated analogue lines.
Cost-Effective: By eliminating the need for a fixed phone line, GSM systems can reduce long-term operating costs, especially in areas where landline installation or maintenance is expensive.
Quick and Easy Installation: GSM systems are straightforward to install, requiring minimal changes to your existing lift infrastructure. Our trained engineers will handle the entire process efficiently.
Reliable Coverage: GSM systems can offer more reliable connectivity, especially in remote or difficult to wire locations, as they use mobile networks with widespread coverage.
Enhanced Monitoring: Some GSM systems come with advanced features like remote monitoring, allowing for real-time performance tracking and proactive maintenance.
