We are excited to announce that 2N LiftGate now also supports Verizon mobile carrier, in addition to AT&T and T-Mobile in the USA, and is fully compliant with the requirements defined in IEC 62443-4-1 and 62443-4-2.

2N LiftGate meeting IEC 62443 standard and expanding to Verizon

Are you worried that you won't be able to get help from a stuck elevator in case of an operator outage? With the 2N LiftGate, you can put those fears behind you - this smart IoT gateway supports two SIM cards and also supports another mobile carrier in the USA. With the inclusion of Verizon, 2N LiftGate can now offer superior network coverage and connectivity, ensuring that critical emergency communications are always operational, regardless of the mobile provider. This improvement further solidifies our commitment to delivering robust and reliable solutions for elevator safety.

As we introduce this update, it's also a good time to remind you of the key benefits that make 2N LiftGate a standout product in the market:
  • Comprehensive IoT Solution: Say goodbye to the need for multiple devices such as LTE routers, switches, converters, and backup power supplies. The 2N LiftGate integrates all these functions into a single, certified device, saving you both time and money.
  • Reliable IP Connectivity Over 2-Wire: By installing the 2N LiftGate in the elevator machine room and the 2N LiftGate Cabin Switch on the cabin roof, you can establish a reliable IP connection with 100 Mbps bandwidth using just two wires in the traveling cable.
  • Versatile Communication Options: With just one SIM card, you can manage VoIP calls and data communication with the gateway, controller, or access control system. Additionally, a WAN port or a second SIM can be used as a backup option.
  • Remote Management via Cloud and SMS: By connecting the IoT gateway to the 2N Elevator Center cloud platform, you can manage and monitor it remotely. Additionally, you can control the gateway and receive notifications via SMS.

Serves two cabins and up to 4 devices in each

One 2N LiftGate Central Unit serves up to two cabins and allows you to connect a maximum of four IP devices in each, including IP communicators, cameras, advertisement displays, and readers, to the 2N LiftGate Cabin Switch. It also features a backup 12V output for emergency lighting. Currently, the recommended elevator emergency phone is the 2N LiftIP 2.0 available in three different variants (surface, flush, COP) supporting communication via VoIP.

In Q4 2024, we are excited to launch a new IP-based elevator emergency phone, 2N Sentrio, which will perfectly work with the 2N LiftGate enhancing the capabilities of our elevator communication solutions. This new communicator will:

  • feature audio, video, and chat communication making it accessible for hearing-impaired individuals
  • offer the possibility of remote management via the 2N Elevator Center cloud ensuring easy maintenance and regular updates
  • meet the requirements of the ASME 17.1-2022 standard, reinforcing our dedication to providing cutting-edge, compliant solutions for elevator safety

With the future-proof IoT gateway, 2N LiftGate, and the forthcoming 2N Sentrio, we continue to lead in delivering advanced, reliable, and secure elevator communication solutions. Our expanded network support in US and adherence to rigorous standards underscore our commitment to providing the best possible service and safety for our customers.
