A copper-to-cellular converter (like the Mobile Connect 2) is a device that allows traditional copper-wired phone lines to function over a cellular network, eliminating the need for physical landline infrastructure. It works by converting analog signals (copper) from the phone line into a format that can be transmitted wirelessly (cellular). The Mobile Connect 2 uses a built-in cellular transceiver, similar to the technology found in mobile phones, to connect to local cellular networks and establish communication. This ensures that traditional devices, such as phones, intercoms, or elevator emergency systems, can continue operating even in areas where copper landlines are being phased out.
Copper-to-cellular converters are especially beneficial for elevator emergency systems, intercom systems, and remote or temporary setups, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while adapting to modern communication needs.

Our solution is not only cost-effective by reducing your dependence on expensive copper infrastructure but also ensures reliable communication through cellular failover.
Benefits of cellular over copper for elevator phone systems
The key benefits of using cellular elevator phone systems over traditional copper-based systems:
- Cost Savings: Eliminates the expense of maintaining or replacing aging copper infrastructure, which is increasingly expensive and obsolete.
- Improved Reliability: Cellular systems often include battery backups, ensuring continuous operation during power outages or emergencies.
- Future-Proof Technology: Adapts to modern telecommunications infrastructure, avoiding the challenges of dwindling copper line availability.
- Simplified Installation: Requires no physical landline connections, making installation quicker and more adaptable for new or existing systems.
- Flexibility: Operates in locations where copper lines are unavailable or impractical, such as remote areas or temporary installations.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets emergency communication requirements for elevators, even in areas phasing out copper lines.
- Scalability: Easily accommodates upgrades or additions, such as integrating multiple elevator lines or new safety features.
- Reduced Downtime: Cellular networks typically offer greater resilience and redundancy compared to aging copper networks.
