How to Convert Lifts for the IP World

While the PSTN/ISDN switch off date may have been shifted, it doesn’t mean we should switch off from it too. There’s lots to consider and it’s our job to support you to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Read on to discover how we’re helping resellers like you to convert lift phones for the all-IP world.

THE CHALLENGE

Most lift phones are connected to PSTN or analogue lines. In the instance of a power cut, these lines are currently unaffected but what happens when the switch off takes place?

Without the right precautions and equipment in place, lift users could be left unable to alert others of their whereabouts and incapable of making emergency calls.

Now, we are faced with 2 options; replace the lifts entirely, or continue to use the existing equipment; we know which option the Finance Director would opt for!

Replacing a lift to address the switch off is unlikely to get the green light; the costs involved would simply not be economically viable. Offering to adapt the existing equipment, on the other hand could be your golden ticket.

THE SOLUTIONS

There are 3 key components you’re going to need to convert lift phones to IP:

ATA
UPS

Router

Here we’ve outlined 3 different set ups to select from:

1. The Budget Friendly Option

Using a Fanvil GA11 ATA and Mylion UPS, you can ensure users are able to make emergency calls in the event of a power cut. The ATA will convert the analogue phone to IP, while the Mylion UPS will provide back-up power to the connected router and ATA for up to 4 hours.

2. The Mid-Range Option

For those who don’t want to touch the buildings internet connection, why not add VoIP by installing a VoLTE router? With the TP-Link MR6500V and the addition of a 4G SIM card, lifts can be isolated from the rest of the network. Backed up by a Mylion UPS device, you have a robust solution to quickly adapt lifts with minimal wiring required.

3. The High-End Option

For those looking to provide back up for critical communications, we recommend the DrayTek LAC router range. With 4G backup, users will still be able to make calls, even if the exchange is down. Between the router and lift, there will be an ATA to convert the analogue line to SIP. This will then be backed up by a UPS to offer the most resilient solution of them all.

What we found in our testing?

We’ve put the Mylion Mini UPS through rigorous tests to make sure it performs under various conditions as well as the most likely scenarios your customers might use it for:

Broad Connectivity:

We connected to a Technicolor DGA0122 router, with a laptop streaming video as well as three users accessing WiFi from desktop PCs, the UPS sustained over 7 hours of continuous use. This far exceeds the basic requirement, showcasing its robust capacity.

Extended Communication:

In another test involving a router and a 5V IP phone left on a call, the UPS powered both devices for over 5 hours. This duration is consistent for similar devices, indicating reliability in maintaining essential communications.

Suitable for home use:

The Mylion Mini UPS is also perfect for home use. In our testing, we connected a Mini UPS to a BT home router and it was able to run for up to 3 hours of heavy-use streaming TV and video games as well as a home office. Proving that the Mini UPS is robust enough to keep up with modern day-to-day use.
These findings illustrate the Mylion Mini UPS’s capability to provide much more than the OFCOM-required 1 hour of backup power, ensuring businesses stay operational for extended periods during power disruptions and maintaining that critical back-up for vulnerable users.

While we have tested the Mini UPS to exceed 4 hours we recommend that you expect up to 4 hours from the device. Depending on your consumption the power output could vary.

For just £56.85 you can ease the transition to IP for your customers, and adhere to the OFCOM requirements. Supplied with an adapter kit, we’ve made it simple to connect any 12v or 5v device you want offer back-up power to.

This realistic expectation ensures your business can plan effectively, without being caught off guard by each device’s power requirements.
