Win new business with VoiceConnect

Our new Smart Mobile Data VoiceConnect tariff is tailor-made for IoT solutions like lift alarm systems and lone worker safety devices, where data alone just isn’t enough.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionising mobile connectivity, providing a platform for smart digital solutions to step in when BT switches off the PSTN in 2027.

At Giacom we’re committed to helping our Channel partners harness the power of next generation technology and develop new areas of opportunity. Our Smart Mobile Data portfolio is already taking the IoT connectivity market by storm. Now we’ve taken things a step further. We’ve listened to you, done our research and added another Smart Mobile Data product that opens up an exciting new revenue stream.

VoiceConnect is a new set of tariffs aimed mainly at two markets: lift line auto-diallers and mobile safety devices for lone workers. It enables your customers to take full advantage of flexible, reliable next-generation IoT connectivity, while providing reassuring future proofing for essential emergency response systems.

It’s time to give your business a lift

Lifts are at the heart of our built environment. We may take them for granted. However, they’re essential to the movement of people and goods. Consequently, there are hundreds of thousands of them across the UK, located everywhere from high-rise office blocks to shopping malls, train stations, airports, and even people’s homes.

What’s more, the lift market is steadily growing. According to research by Arizton, new lift installations are expected to increase from 8,033 units in 2023 to 9,183 units by 2029. Long-term demand is being driven by ageing building stock and the need for maintenance, modernisation and cybersecurity, as well as increasing investment in infrastructure.

One of the key pieces of tech in a modern lift is an auto-dialler alarm. In the event of an emergency, it connects to a rescue service via a pre-programmed phone number. Since 1999, all lifts in the UK are required to contain this type of alarm.

Currently, many of these auto-diallers use a traditional analogue telephone line connected to the PSTN. However, that’s being switched off in 2027, so every lift in the country will need a new digital solution. That’s a huge challenge for lift maintenance companies. And a big opportunity for you.

How does VoiceConnect benefit lone workers?

As technology continues to evolve, the number of people working in isolation is on the rise. Lone workers in industries such as construction, utilities, healthcare and transportation often face increased risks because they’re operating independently in remote or isolated working environments. Ensuring they have fast access to emergency help is not only good practice; it could be life-saving.

Mobile IoT connectivity is an ideal solution for providing emergency back-up for lone workers. Due to its multi-network capability and resiliency, it can be deployed in any location without the need for investment in expensive infrastructure or hardware. Offering a cost-effective, market-ready solution for Channel partners, VoiceConnect harnesses the power of mobile IoT connectivity and has been designed with the security and safety of lone workers in mind.

Sell with complete confidence

VoiceConnect is not just a like-for-like replacement for a traditional PSTN connectivity solution. It significantly reduces the risk of communication failure. It’s also highly secure, with optional additions to your connections, such as IMEI locking and Public Static Ips. And if you choose our multi-net SIM option, it’s not dependent on a single provider, providing exceptional resilience.

The benefits of VoiceConnect speak for themselves. For your customers, it’s all about reliability, cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment. Whether it’s lift lines or lone working situations, it’s a simple way to secure and future-proof critical emergency communication facilities and ensure user safety.

As for the benefits for you as a Channel partner, it’s an opportunity to build business by delivering exactly what the market needs.
