Retrofit your elevators with the new 2N EasyGate IP+

In a world rapidly phasing out legacy communication networks, elevator systems that rely on PSTN, 2G, or 3G connectivity are fast becoming obsolete. For building operators and service providers, this presents a significant challenge: how to retrofit ageing elevators with modern, standards-compliant emergency communication – without the disruption of replacing the elevator car’s hardware.

The answer is here. Meet the new 2N EasyGate IP+, a future-proof LTE/VoIP gateway engineered for transforming analogue emergency communicators into fully VoIP-enabled systems – quickly, easily, and in compliance with security standards.

Upgrade without replacing a thing

One of the greatest strengths of the 2N EasyGate IP+ is its ability to modernize elevator emergency communication without touching the existing hardware in the cabin. Simply connect the analogue emergency dialler using just two wires in the travelling cable to the gateway’s FXS portno rewiring, no cabin disassembly.

Even better, the gateway supports 2G, 3G, and 4G networks for communication with emergency response centers. That means you can deploy it today using your existing infrastructure and transition to LTE whenever you’re ready – no hardware changes required — just smooth, future-proof connectivity from day one.

VoIP that works – even for DTMF

Unlike many VoLTE-based solutions, the 2N EasyGate IP+ uses SIP-based VoIP for both voice and data transmission. The result? Clear, distortion-free DTMF signal delivery - which is essential for accurately identifying the elevator car’s location. It also supports key elevator protocols such as P100, ensuring seamless integration with central systems and rock-solid reliability in emergencies.

All the interfaces you need, built right in

Elevator projects often require a direct connection to the controller. The 2N EasyGate IP+ makes it simple with built-in LAN, RS232, RS485, and CANbus interfaces. Whether you’re linking the gateway to the controller for both remote management and diagnostics or connecting to monitoring devices in the machine room, everything is included – no extra modules or hardware needed.

And with three Ethernet ports (1× WAN and 2× LAN, or all configurable as LAN), the 2N EasyGate IP+ gives you maximum freedom in how you connect. Link the gateway to both the building network and the elevator controller – while still ensuring a stable internet connection inside the shaft. One device. Endless possibilities.

Built to survive the shaft environment

Although standard elevators are built for typical conditions (+5°C to +40°C and normal environmental exposure), some shafts can face extreme heat, occasional dust, or even water splashes. The 2N EasyGate IP+ is designed to handle these challenges. With its IP43-rated enclosure, high durability, and operating temperature of up to 85°C, it’s perfectly suited for direct shaft installation – delivering reliable performance without risk of failure.

And in the event of a power outage? A backup battery ensures several hours of continued operation, allowing passengers to always reach help and keeping you compliant with the latest elevator safety standards.

Quick to install. Easy to manage.

Once the 2N EasyGate IP+ is up and running, the initial setup takes just minutes, thanks to auto-provisioning and predefined configuration templates. After that, you can manage it remotely via the 2N Elevator Center cloud platform. All this means fewer site visits, real-time diagnostics, lower maintenance costs, and total peace of mind for operators and technicians.

Make the switch today

Upgrading your elevator communication system doesn’t have to mean costly investments or replacing hardware inside the car. With the 2N EasyGate IP+, you’re not just keeping pace with new communication standards – you’re staying ahead of them.

The future of elevator communication starts here.
