Keep your lift emergency autodialler compliant ahead of the digital switchover

Phone lines across the UK are being upgraded to fibre, meaning copper phone lines to lift emergency autodiallers are being disconnected.

This could leave passengers with no means of communication in an emergency situation; an obvious safety risk and not in compliance with EN81-28 regulations.

Although the deadline for the switchover is January 2027, many regions have already transitioned from copper landlines to fibre technology. As a result, your autodialler may already be disconnected or could be imminently!

How do I keep my autodialler connected and compliant?

We recommend you install one of two options to keep your autodialler connected:

A Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Gateway with a sim card that makes calls via the 4g network.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) that utilises Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to make calls via Internet Protocol (IP) Technology.

Pickerings can advise on, supply and install either autodialler solution.
