Answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a Certificate of Occupancy without a traditional phone line?
Yes. We provide life safety phone lines using cellular technology that requires no traditional hardline carrier infrastructure. Your elevator phones, area-of-refuge stations, and fire alarm communicators can go live so you secure a temporary Certificate of Occupancy without waiting on the phone or cable company.
How fast can a life safety phone line be installed?
Because we don't depend on traditional hardlines, service can be activated rapidly — often in a fraction of the time a carrier install takes — keeping your project on schedule for inspection and occupancy.
What is an area of refuge phone line?
An area of refuge (or area of rescue assistance) phone line is a dedicated emergency communication line that lets occupants in a designated safe area call for help during an emergency. It's required by building and fire codes in many structures and must remain operational to pass inspection.
Do elevator phones require a dedicated landline?
Code requires elevator emergency phones to maintain reliable two-way communication, but it does not require copper landline. We deliver compliant elevator phone lines over a monitored cellular connection — no hard line needed.
What services does Critical Path Communications provide?
Life safety phone lines, elevator phone lines, area-of-refuge phone lines, access control systems, pool phone lines, and cellular-dialer internet that requires no hard lines — all focused on life safety connectivity and code compliance.
