Why Retrofit Instead of Replace?

Most campuses and municipalities already have blue light towers, e-phones, or emergency call boxes installed, but many are outdated, rusted, offline, or unsupported by the original manufacturer. Replacing an entire tower is expensive and disruptive to a campus or site. Retrofitting with TS&L reuses your existing structure and gives you:

  • Brand new internal electronics and a modern communication module (LTE, 5G, or PoE)
  • New LED beacon and strobe lighting with updated, illuminated signage
  • Restored ADA compliance and current safety code compliance
  • Compatibility with most manufacturers' existing tower structures, not just TS&L-built towers

It's the fastest and most cost-effective way to bring an aging emergency communication system back to full reliability.

Benefits of Retrofitting with TS&L

  • Save 50 to 70 percent versus total tower replacement
  • Extend tower life by 10 to 15 years
  • Add 24/7 self-monitoring with real-time online portal visibility and automatic fault alerts
  • Eliminate the weekly labor of manual tower checks
  • Fast installs with minimal disruption and no heavy equipment required

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a blue light retrofit kit work?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
A technician opens the existing tower or call box and replaces the internal motherboard, communication module, wiring, and lighting with new hardware. The outer pole and foundation stay in place, so there is no need to trench, pour a new base, or take the unit fully offline for more than a day.
Which emergency towers are compatible with a retrofit kit?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
TS&L's retrofit kits are built to fit most manufacturers' existing blue light tower and call box structures, not just TS&L-built towers. Compatibility is confirmed during a short site or photo review before a quote is finalized.
Is it better to retrofit or replace an emergency tower?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Retrofit when the pole, foundation, and housing are still structurally sound and only the electronics, lighting, or communication module are outdated. Replace when the structure itself is damaged, undersized, or can no longer meet current visibility and ADA requirements. Most campus-wide modernization projects use a mix of both after a site-by-site inspection.
How long does retrofit installation take?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
A single tower retrofit typically takes less than a day once parts are on site. Multi-tower campus or municipal projects are phased over several days to weeks depending on the number of units and site access.
What components are replaced during a retrofit?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
The motherboard and communication system, the help-button station, LED strobe and beacon lighting, illuminated signage, wiring harness, and power management module. Solar power can be added at the same time if the tower was previously AC-only.
How much does a blue light retrofit kit cost?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Retrofitting typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than full tower replacement, though the exact price depends on the number of towers, current condition, and whether solar power or additional monitoring features are added. Contact TS&L for a project-specific quote.
Can the retrofit be installed on any manufacturer's tower?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
In most cases, yes. TS&L's retrofit kits are designed to work with the majority of existing blue light tower and call box structures on the market. A quick site or photo review confirms fit before installation.
Does retrofitting improve ADA compliance?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Yes. Retrofit kits update help-button height, signage, and audio/visual alerts to meet current ADA accessibility requirements, bringing older towers that predate current codes into compliance.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Retrofitted towers are covered by the same 24/7 self-monitoring as new TS&L installations, so most issues are flagged automatically through the online portal rather than requiring manual weekly checks. Routine inspection visits can still be scheduled as part of an ongoing maintenance plan.
Does the retrofit include LTE, 5G, VoIP, or SIP support?
Blue light e-phone questions arrow
Yes. Retrofit kits can include LTE or 5G cellular communication, direct-to-dispatch (PSAP) integration, and VoIP/SIP-compatible communication modules, replacing older analog or unsupported connections.
