The transition from copper to cellular networks is a significant technological shift that is transforming various industries.
One area where this shift is particularly impactful is in the realm of emergency communications, specifically in the context of emergency elevator phones. Mobile Connect 2 service from Destra Business Services (DBS) allows you to retain the use of your original emergency phone equipment while still benefiting from all that cellular has to offer.
The Copper-to-Cellular Shift
Traditional copper wire networks, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), have been the backbone of telecommunications since the 1880s. However, with the advent of newer technologies like cellular networks, major carriers are phasing out these outdated infrastructures. This shift is driven by a mandate from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that requires all POTS lines in the US to be replaced with an alternative service by 2025.

Impact on Emergency Elevator Phone Systems
Elevator phone systems have traditionally relied on POTS lines for their operation. These systems play a vital role in safety by enabling passengers who are stuck to reach out to emergency services. However, the phasing out of copper lines necessitates a transition to alternative technologies like the Mobile Connect 2.
Switching to a cellular network (like Mobile Conner 2) for emergency elevator phone services offers several advantages. Our cellular network is more reliable, requires less maintenance, and can provide constant uptime, which is crucial for emergencies. Likewise, cellular networks can offer better coverage, even in areas where traditional phone lines may not reach.
Industries Benefiting from the Reduced Cost of Cellular
Several industries can benefit from upgrading their emergency phones from copper to cellular. These include:
Real Estate, HOA, and Property Management: Property managers can enhance the safety and reliability of their building’s elevator phone system by upgrading to a cellular-based solution. This can improve tenant experience and reduce telecom costs.
Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and other healthcare facilities can ensure reliable communication in their elevators, which is crucial during emergencies.
Hospitality Industry: Hotels and resorts can provide a safer and more reliable experience for their guests by upgrading their elevator phone systems.
Commercial Buildings: Office buildings and shopping malls can enhance the safety of their premises and improve their reputation by ensuring reliable emergency communication.
