United States
Elevator phones are an essential part of an elevator system and must be present in order for the car to operate legally. In all states, code compliance orders that there must be an elevator phone installed for passengers in distress to call for emergency dispatch. Various scenarios including elevator doors malfunctioning and medical emergencies make the elevator phone a vital part of any operational elevator system.
The phones are hands free and simple to utilize. With the quick touch of a button, a passenger can be connected to a 24/7 emergency dispatch operator who will send help their way and stay on the line with them until help has arrived. This system can operate on a regular secure phone line and new technology like MAX Link – Voice and MAX Link – Multimedia operate through Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
