Lift Autodialers (Corporate and Housing)

Description

As the digital switchover approaches, it is crucial to transition analogue phone lines in passenger lifts within Sheffield City Council's Housing and Corporate buildings to digital technology. Analogue lines are becoming obsolete with the shift to digital communications and telecommunication providers within the UK are starting to switch these analogue lines off. This produces risk to the Council as it will result in potential service disruptions for lift emergency communication systems. These systems are vital for safety, as they allow for quick communication in the event of an emergency. Switching to digital technology ensures that passenger lifts remain operational and compliant with safety regulations, whilst also providing more reliable, secure and efficient communication. This programme will replace the current analogue phonelines that are located with each passenger lift, which is connected to the emergency button inside the lift as well as the supply of a back office system.
