“The code isn’t silly—until you need it.” — Jerry Last, RATH by AVIRE, on the life-saving role of emergency communications

At ISC West 2025, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Jerry Last, Technical Sales Manager at RATH by AVIRE, to explore the intersection of life safety, emergency communication, and the evolving world of POTS line replacement.

RATH by AVIRE is a leading manufacturer and distributor of code-compliant emergency communication systems for elevators, areas of refuge, and public safety networks. At the show, Last showcased the SmartView 2, the company’s latest two-way elevator communication system designed to meet the most recent codes—including visual capabilities for individuals who are deaf, mute, or otherwise unable to speak during an emergency.

“We’ve gone beyond voice,” said Last. “SmartView 2 adds a camera for visual confirmation and enables text-based communication, ensuring no one is left behind in a crisis.”

RATH’s solutions are deeply integrated into building safety infrastructure, especially in new construction where legacy POTS lines are unavailable. Their cellular voice gateways offer flexible, reliable alternatives that plug directly into analog devices, allowing contractors to meet stringent safety codes without traditional telecom service dependencies.

Key offerings discussed include:

Area of Refuge Systems: For individuals who can’t evacuate during a fire or emergency.
Code-Compliant Elevator Systems: Featuring both audio and video two-way communication.
DAS and BDA Systems: To ensure first responders maintain radio communication within buildings.
Cellular Gateways for POTS Replacement: An affordable and code-compliant option for elevator voice systems.

With operations across North America and support from regional sales teams, RATH helps customers navigate the complex patchwork of safety codes, which vary by county and municipality. “We stay ahead of code changes and keep our customers informed,” said Last. “Our job is to make sure people are safe—and that contractors are always code-ready.”
