Use Elmdene’s Li-Power solution to help installers make the switch to IP The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) shutdown is in the process of happening in the UK now. Are you ready for this game-changing technological shift within the security and fire industry, and have you considered Elmdene’s Li-Power solution? Elmdene has engineered a simple solution to your upgrade, a standalone power solution called Li-Power to house a digital communicator while providing backup power to meet UK industry standards. Elmdene’s Li-Power solution is a compact, lightweight, low-voltage power supply that houses a variety of IP communicators - it provides 12- or 30-hour battery backup options in the event of a power outage. Li-Power is the first PSU of its kind using Lithium battery technology, providing a life span up to three times greater than a standard LEAD acid battery option. It performs well in conditions with unreliable mains power (power cycling) and is also environmentally friendly. Li-Power is compatible with many digital communicators, including BT Redcare and CSL. Elmdene is helping you prepare for this digital future’s exciting challenges and opportunities.

ver 1 million alarm systems in the UK are estimated to still use analogue networks (PSTN Lines) for alarm reporting/ communications. This means that by the end of 2025, all legacy PSTN communicators require an IP upgrade to avoid the potential loss of critical service when the analogue networks are switched off. As an installer, how many of your customers still use PSTN lines? How can you help them make this move to IP? Postponing the upgrade has been a popular choice for many. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that time is becoming scarce, and failing to make the switch promptly could have severe consequences. One of the challenges of upgrading to digital communicators is that they are typically larger than older PSTN types, and space within the panel is limited. What are your options?
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to stay ahead and be prepared. Start planning now and ensure you understand the impact of the digital upgrade on your intruder alarm systems and business.
