At 5Gstore, we’re always looking for ways to help our customers find the right solution for their needs. Recently, a customer reached out initially looking at a traditional POTS line adapter for their elevator communication system. However, after a deeper conversation, we were able to understand their specific requirements and offer a more comprehensive solution that would better suit their needs.
The Customer’s Need
The customer’s original inquiry was about a standard POTS line adapter. POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines are often used in elevator systems for emergency communication, but they come with some limitations. They are outdated and sometimes unreliable, particularly in the face of weather events or service disruptions. After discussing the customer’s needs, it became clear that they were looking for a more robust, modern, and reliable solution for their elevator communication system.
A Better Solution: The Cellular POTS Line Rental
After diving deeper into their requirements, we recommended our Cellular POTS Line Rental as a more advanced and reliable solution. This rental service is ideal for elevator systems, as it ensures uninterrupted communication, regardless of weather conditions or issues with traditional landlines. Here’s what the Cellular POTS Line Rental package includes:
- Weatherproof Enclosure: The equipment comes housed in a durable, weatherproof enclosure, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. Whether your elevator system is in a basement, high-rise, or any exposed location, you can trust that the hardware will withstand the elements.
- Monthly Cellular Plan: Our rental includes a monthly cellular plan that provides reliable communication, free from the hassles of traditional phone lines. No more worrying about physical lines being damaged or going down during severe weather events.
- Battery Backup: Power outages are a concern for any system that relies on electrical connections. That’s why our solution comes with a built-in battery backup that lasts up to 48 hours in standby mode, ensuring that your elevator’s emergency communication system remains active during a power failure.
- Drop-in, Forget-it Solution: Once installed, this system is completely low-maintenance. There are no wires to manage, no traditional phone lines to monitor, and no complicated setup. You simply install it, and it works—automatically ensuring that your elevator system remains connected and functional.
- InControl2 Monitoring and Alerts: To keep you informed, this solution integrates with InControl2, which will notify you if the system goes offline or is rebooted. This feature is an excellent addition, ensuring that you are always in the loop regarding the health of your elevator communication system.
One Flat Monthly Rate
Perhaps the best part of the Cellular POTS Line Rental service is its simplicity. This complete solution is available for a single monthly rate, covering everything you need: the weatherproof enclosure, the cellular plan, battery backup, and the ability to monitor the system remotely. This “set it and forget it” solution allows you to focus on other important aspects of your elevator system, knowing that your emergency communication is reliable and always up to date.
