PSTN Switch-Off 2027 | Lift Emergency GSM Upgrade | The Cloud Network
PSTN SWITCH-OFF • JANUARY 2027

Future‑proof your lift emergency call system before the 2027 switch‑off.

If your lift autodialler relies on an analogue phone line, it’s at risk. Our GSM solution keeps your emergency line compliant, connected, and ready — with fast professional installation.

Designed for commercial buildings, property management, facilities teams and lift maintenance partners. Multi‑lift and portfolio pricing available.

Why you can’t ignore this

The PSTN network is being retired. Any lift emergency system using an analogue line may stop working — which can trigger non‑compliance, lift shutdowns and serious liability risk.

Common risk signs:
  • Lift emergency phone is connected to a standard copper phone line
  • Autodialler reports “no line” or fails periodic test calls
  • Building has legacy WLR/analogue services (often billed as “line rental”)
What you get with The Cloud Network:
  • GSM lift line replacement designed for emergency diallers
  • Professional installation, testing and handover documentation
  • Optional managed connectivity (SIM) and ongoing support
  • A clear upgrade path for wider PSTN‑affected services

How it works

A straightforward upgrade that keeps the existing lift setup intact wherever possible.

1

Survey & confirm compatibility

We verify the current line type, autodialler model and site requirements so there are no surprises.

2

Install GSM gateway

We install a GSM device to replace the analogue line — typically with minimal disruption.

3

Test, document & hand over

Full call testing is completed and documented, with guidance for ongoing checks and maintenance.

Note: The goal is always “no new cabling / no new phones” wherever your environment allows — we’ll confirm the specifics during the survey.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we typically get from building managers before we schedule an install.

Do we need new cabling?

In most cases, no. We aim to reuse existing cabling and lift phone hardware. We confirm this during the site assessment.

Can we keep our existing autodialler?

Often yes — but it depends on the model and signalling requirements. We’ll check compatibility before installation.

Is this compliant?

The solution is designed for lift emergency connectivity and includes call testing and documentation as part of handover.

What does “from £175” include?

It’s a typical starting price for standard installations. Final pricing depends on the site and equipment requirements.
