Why Are More Elevators Upgrading to “Smart Intercom Systems”?
In the past, elevator intercom systems were simple emergency communication tools—when passengers were trapped, pressing a button connected them to building staff.
However, as buildings have become more intelligent and safety standards more advanced, traditional wired intercom systems have shown their limitations: complex wiring, high maintenance costs, and single-function performance.
Today, more elevators are switching to smart wireless intercom systems, bringing innovation to elevator communication.
Here’s why, according to A-FLY Elevator & Escalator Parts Supplier, smart intercoms are becoming the mainstream trend in modernization.
1. Limitations of Traditional Intercom Systems
Early elevator intercoms relied on wired connections between the car, machine room, and control room.
While stable, this approach has clear drawbacks:
Complex wiring and long installation time
High maintenance costs and aging cables prone to failure
No remote monitoring or voice recording capabilities
Poor compatibility with modern control systems
These problems are especially common in old building upgrades and commercial office renovations, making intercom modernization increasingly essential.
2. Advantages of Smart Wireless Elevator Intercom Systems
Smart wireless intercoms use radio communication between the main unit and sub-units to achieve instant, clear, and stable voice transmission.
Key advantages include:
Wireless installation – easier setup
No need for traditional cabling, reducing installation complexity and time. Ideal for modernization projects or multi-elevator setups.
Multi-party communication & remote monitoring
Supports three-way or five-way calls (car, machine room, control room, monitoring center, or property platform) and can be integrated into a management system for 24/7 remote supervision.
Clear audio & low interference
Digital transmission and anti-interference modules ensure stable, noise-free communication even in challenging environments.
Smart alarm & location tracking
Automatically sends alerts and locates the elevator in case of entrapment, power failure, or emergency—significantly improving rescue efficiency.
Simple maintenance & flexible expansion
Modular design allows quick upgrades and easy system expansion without rewiring, compatible with multiple elevator brands.
A-FLY’s wireless elevator intercom system uses high-frequency radio modules and intelligent control chips to deliver strong signal coverage and stable three- or five-party communication, providing reliable safety for all types of elevators.
3. The Trend Toward Intelligent Elevator Management
With the rise of IoT and smart building technologies, elevator communication systems are evolving from basic intercoms to multi-functional intelligent platforms.
Smart intercoms now serve as data nodes for building management and safety monitoring.
They can:
Integrate with elevator monitoring and visualization systems
Support voice announcements, data uploads, and real-time feedback
Connect to the cloud for remote configuration and diagnostics
In short, the smart intercom has become an important gateway to elevator IoT integration.
