Comtrend Unveils PM-1540: The Next-Generation Powerline Communications Industrial Solution for Elevators

March 28th, 2025

Prague, March 28 – Comtrend, a global leader in broadband communication technology, is proud to announce its latest G.hn industrial application of the PM-1540 Powerline Communications Module. Designed to revolutionize smart elevator connectivity, the PM-1540 leverages G.hn PowerLine technology to provide seamless, high-speed data transmission over existing electrical wiring—eliminating the need for costly Ethernet installations or unreliable wireless networks.

Smart Elevator Connectivity Reimagined

Traditional elevator communication solutions often rely on outdated twisted-pair cables, expensive Ethernet installations, or unreliable wireless setups. PM-1540 transforms any elevator into a smart, connected system — without requiring new cabling. Key benefits include:

  • Uninterrupted Wi-Fi Connectivity inside elevators, allowing passengers to stay connected during transit.
  • Provide high speed data connectivity for IoT Devices, including IP cameras, intercoms, digital information screens and emergency call systems.
  • AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance, reducing elevator downtime, repair costs, and manual inspections.
  • Remote Monitoring Capabilities, enabling real-time condition tracking from a central control center.
  • Blazing Speeds Up to 1.2 Gbps over 300 meters, eliminating the need for additional power sources or complex infrastructure.
