Case Study

At Acelink’s Taipei office building, we deployed the Smart Elevator solution to transform the elevator into a smart infrastructure node. Using G.hn powerline communication modules, data is reliably transmitted over existing power lines—eliminating complex wiring. The system integrates PoE switches, AI fisheye AP, and smart sensors, covering Wi-Fi, video surveillance, and air quality monitoring in one unified setup. All devices are centrally managed via the Acelink Go! Cloud platform, with auto alerts, remote diagnostics, and AI predictive maintenance. This case proves that a smart elevator enhances user experience and serves as a key connector in the building’s smart ecosystem.
