Elevator Phone POTS Line Replacement
ASME A17.1 & ADA-Compliant Cellular Emergency Communication
Every elevator in the country needs a working emergency phone line. When the copper POTS line goes away, your elevator can be red-tagged and taken out of service. The POTS Box keeps elevator emergency phones online with a code-compliant cellular replacement that plugs into your existing phone box.
No Dial Tone Means No Elevator
ASME A17.1 and ADA require two-way emergency communication from every elevator cab. When copper retires, inspectors have the authority to shut the elevator down until compliant service is restored — a major liability for property managers and building owners.
- Red-tagged elevators, lost tenant use, and emergency service calls
- Failed state elevator inspections and re-inspection fees
- ADA non-compliance risk for visually- or hearing-impaired riders
- Confusion over which party — landlord, tenant, elevator company — owns the line
- Unclear multi-elevator, multi-building POTS inventories
