    It’s now a year later and only now can our building get the NBN (we were told it would be mid-2017).

    We were given a quote from the lift company last year of over $4k to make the lift NBN ready.
    This seems high!
    Has anyone in the past 12 months had any more experience with this issue? Emergency phones in lifts?

    This is from the lift company and I barely understand a word! “At your request, we have put together the below quotation to upgrade from the NBN to a GSM Unit. We wish to inform you of the option to bypass the landlines and upgrade the lift phone to connect to the mobile network, which will also prepare the building for the NBN.

    Following the National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout, the building’s existing emergency phone lines will stop working. Our proposed solution involves upgrading to a Cellular Gateway (CGW) unit, which provides a new phone line on the GSM (Global System for Mobile) network to bypass the existing copper wiring landlines.”

    Their “proposed solution”. Is that the best? Is that the only one? I am SO confused. Anyone able to advise please? Thanks
