MW Lift Services is at the forefront of addressing the BT Analogue Lift Emergency Line – Switch Off initiative.
As the UK transitions away from its traditional analogue phone network, our company ensures that lift systems across the country remain compliant and operational.
The BT switch-off, scheduled for completion by 2025, necessitates the upgrade of existing lift emergency communication systems. These systems are crucial for passenger safety, allowing individuals trapped in a lift to call for help. MW Lift Services specialises in seamlessly transitioning these vital communication lines from analogue to digital technology.
Our approach is rooted in industry best practices:
Open Protocol Equipment: We exclusively install open protocol equipment that is widely recognised and utilised within the lift industry. This choice offers several advantages:
Interoperability: Our systems can easily integrate with various lift control panels and monitoring systems.
Future-proofing: Open protocols allow for easier updates and adaptations as technology evolves.
Flexibility: Clients are not locked into proprietary systems, providing more options for future maintenance and upgrades.
Comprehensive Service: Our team handles the entire process, from initial assessment to installation and testing. We ensure that each lift’s emergency communication system is fully functional on the new digital network.
Regulatory Compliance: Our solutions meet all current safety standards and regulations, including those set by the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA) and the Safety Assessment Federation (SAFed).
Minimal Disruption: We understand the importance of lift availability. Our installation process is designed to minimize downtime, often completing the upgrade within a single day.
Ongoing Support: Beyond installation, MW Lift Services offers maintenance packages to ensure the long-term reliability of the new emergency communication systems.
Cost-Effective Solutions: By utilising widely-used open protocol equipment, we can offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality or functionality.
