At Active Online we have been working with intercom systems for many years and have recently taken the bold step to design and test an intercom system for apartment / unit complexes / residential using off the shelf parts to create a wireless intercom system bypassing cabling. The system uses the 4G mobile networks for connection to the internet (no voice or SMS) and connection to the NBN in the apartments / units / via Wi-Fi.
Designed for seamless integration into modern workplaces, EnGenius Cordless Phones boast exceptional range, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity across expansive facilities. Say goodbye to dropped calls and static interference as you move freely throughout your workspace, confident in the reliability of your communication tools.
Elevator or Lift intercoms provide emergency communications in the event of a lift malfunction or local power fail. Getting stuck in an elevator is the stuff of nightmares! Ensuring your elevator comms is working is critical to ensure emergency crews are notified and avoid legal ramifications.
Elevator communications are installed under standard AS1735.19 and the recent switch off of 3G networks has necessitated an upgrade / review of your current lift communications system to ensure it functions and is compliant with the standard.
