Maintaining ADA Compliance with Connected Blue Light Phones

Understanding ADA Compliance in Connected
Blue Light Phones

The ADA sets forth guidelines to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to public spaces and services. In the context of emergency communication systems like blue light phones typically found in university campuses, parking lots, and public parks, ADA compliance can be a matter of life and death.

Height & Reach

The ADA requires the push button of a blue light phone to be 48 inches or less from the floor to be considered accessible for people with disabilities.

Auditory & Visual Features

For those with hearing or visual impairments, phones should have features like voice instructions, adjustable volume controls, and Braille labels.

Each of our Blue Light Phone models has additional add-ons that can elevate the level of ADA compliance, including:

• Real-Time two-way camera and microphone

• Braille Faceplate

• Bright LED Beacon

Visibility & Ease of Use

In an emergency, ease of use is critical.

Our Blue Light Phone solutions come standard with a highly visible paint color with reflective lettering to ensure each tower can be easily identified, even from a distance.

Each tower is also designed with ease of use in mind. The primary design for all our Blue Light Phone solutions are centered around a singular push button that instantly connects users to local authorities.
