The new nbn is NOT guaranteed to work during a blackout. It is a legal requirement to ensure your Lift Emergency Telephone is “safe to operate”.

This means that elevator owners need to install a new “compliant solution” prior to nbn installation in their area.

What is the solution?

  • Easy Living wireless compliant solution that offers exceptional value
  • Stand alone solution
  • Fail-safe battery back up with 24hours stand by
  • 2.5 hours talk time in event of power outage
  • Compatible with existing phones that operate on the old copper network
  • Compatible with all Australian networks
  • Simply supply your own SIM card with talk, text and 3MB of data per month and have it ready for us upon arrival

What do I need to do?

  1. Register your Lift Emergency Telephone lines with nbn here
  2. Check when nbn will be ‘ready for service’ in your area here
  3. Order a Wireless Lift Emergency Telephone Solution phone 1800 813 555

How long do I have?

NBN have allowed a transition period of 18 months from the time of NBN connection to the disconnection of the copper network.

For Lift Emergency Telephones which have been registered with NBN, an extension period will be granted 18 months after NBN connection.

Lift Telephone and the NBN FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the migration of lift phones

The emergency phone is an important as it allows trapped passengers to contact Easy living Services for assistance. The emergency phone must always be operational and connected.
Easy Living Services has a 24-hour emergency contact centre.

In the event of a power outage, the existing landline would normally work, however under the NBN rollout the connection is no longer operational. This is due to the NBN using fiber-optic technology which doesn’t carry power. Unfortunately the NBN cannot guarantee communication from a lift emergency phone in the case of a power failure, thus no way for trapped passengers to call for help.

Under the NBN, if you don’t upgrade your lift phone line when the power goes out so does your existing lift phone connection.

Our solution is to use a mobile solution GSM unit with battery back up and be independent from the NBN.

The lift phone does not require replacement. It is the connection between the lift emergency telephone and the nbn network that requires replacement (GSM unit).

It is requirement of the Australian standard that all lifts carrying passengers must have communication that is permanently available.
