Elevator Emergency Phone & Fire Alarm Monitoring

ASME A17.1-compliant elevator phone monitoring and elevator recall signaling on cellular and IP paths.

Overview

Every commercial elevator in California requires a monitored emergency phone under ASME A17.1. As legacy copper POTS lines retire, most elevator phones need a cellular or IP path to stay compliant.

We install and monitor elevator phones from Kings III, RATH, and Viking, and coordinate elevator recall signaling with the fire alarm system.

Frequently asked

My elevator phone still works on a POTS line — do I need to change?

AT&T's copper retirement begins in phases on June 30, 2026. Elevator phones on affected wire centers will stop working. Migrating now avoids a compliance gap.
