How Kings III Helps You Cut Costs Without Cutting Corners
When it comes to managing property operations, cost control is always top of mind. But cutting corners on life safety systems, like emergency phones, isn’t an option—and with Kings III, it doesn’t have to be.
Our all-inclusive emergency phone solution is designed to reduce hidden costs and simplify your operations without compromising compliance or safety. The comprehensive solution includes equipment, installation, lifetime maintenance, and 24/7 emergency monitoring by highly trained, Advanced Emergency Medical Dispatch (AEMD)-certified operators—all for one predictable monthly rate. This eliminates unexpected repair fees, service calls, and replacement costs that can pile up quickly with other emergency phone setups.
Eliminate the Expense of Outdated Phone Lines
For many property owners and managers, outdated landlines or legacy POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines are one of the most overlooked cost drivers. These lines are not only outdated, but they’re also expensive to maintain and are actively being phased out by most major providers. In some cases, property managers are seeing rate increases of several hundred percent as telecom companies push users to upgrade to more modern alternatives. Kings III’s cellular solution removes the need for these costly, obsolete lines entirely, offering a future-proof, budget-friendly option.
Reducing Operational Headaches
The all-inclusive nature of Kings III’s service extends beyond just the elimination of telecom costs. Think about the time and money your team spends managing emergency phone issues internally—whether that’s coordinating with repair vendors, dealing with code violations, or responding to complaints from residents or tenants when systems fail. Our proactive approach to monitoring and maintenance includes features like auto-testing and early low-battery detection, which help us identify issues before they become a surprise.
While we may not always be able to resolve the issue remotely, these systems give us the opportunity to alert customers early and reduce the likelihood of unexpected downtime. This not only preserves the reliability of your emergency communication system, but also saves your team time and operational stress.
Built-In Compliance and Risk Mitigation
In addition to financial savings, there’s a significant risk reduction component to consider. Emergency phones are regulated by various local and national codes, depending on the environment—elevators, pools, parking structures, and more. Non-compliance, whether due to malfunctioning equipment or lack of proper monitoring, can result in costly citations and legal exposure.
By outsourcing your emergency phone solution to Kings III, you gain an expert partner whose entire business is built around ensuring your properties remain compliant and protected. Our team stays on top of regulatory requirements so you don’t have to, and we design our systems with these standards in mind, because compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about protecting the people who live, work, and visit your property.
A missed emergency call due to faulty equipment or an unmonitored line can have serious consequences.
That’s why we view compliance as a fundamental component of risk mitigation. The cost of a missed or delayed emergency response goes far beyond penalties—it can impact lives and lead to long-term reputational damage. You gain a reliable safety net, backed by purpose-built equipment, certified dispatch professionals, and a responsive service team—all working together to help ensure that when emergencies happen, your property is ready to respond.
Our emergency phones are also FirstNet® Capable, meaning they are built to work on the nation’s first high-speed, dedicated wireless broadband network for first responders. This added layer of network priority and reliability further reinforces your emergency communication infrastructure when it matters most.
24/7 Emergency Response You Can Count On
Another often-overlooked cost consideration is staffing and training. Some properties attempt to manage emergency calls in-house or rely on building staff to respond. This introduces significant potential significant liability risks and usually results in inconsistent response times and increased training needs. Additionally, with high staff turnover rates in many property teams, it becomes nearly impossible to keep everyone consistently trained on emergency protocols.
Kings III removes this burden by providing 24/7 emergency response through our in-house monitoring and dispatch center, staffed by operators certified in Advanced Emergency Medical Dispatch (AEMD). Our operators assess every call with speed, clarity, and accuracy—relaying critical information to responders and helping manage the situation calmly and efficiently. This level of expertise ensures emergencies are handled with precision, reducing risk and building trust in your safety systems.
Solutions That Work for You
Every property has unique safety requirements, which is why we offer flexible, scalable emergency phone systems that adapt to your environment—whether it’s multifamily, commercial, or mixed-use. Our equipment is built to last, weather-resistant, and ADA-compliant, ensuring performance when it matters most.
It’s also worth mentioning the impact on your team’s time. Time spent chasing down vendors, handling phone outages, or troubleshooting compliance issues is time not spent on tenant satisfaction, leasing activities, or strategic improvements. Kings III’s all-inclusive approach shifts the burden off your team and onto ours, giving you time back to focus on your core responsibilities. By trusting us with your emergency phones, you reclaim time and reduce operational drag.
Support That Doesn’t Leave You Guessing
So, what happens when something does go wrong? Our solution ensures you’re not stuck wondering who to call or what it’s going to cost. Our customers have access to a dedicated service team that responds promptly and without surprise charges thanks to our lifetime maintenance. In many cases, our team can troubleshoot issues over the phone and walk you through quick fixes during the call, avoiding the need for on-site visits.
We recommend testing your emergency phones at least once every 30 days to ensure everything is working as it should. Our emergency dispatch center is happy to assist during test calls by verifying the phone’s location and the quality of the audio—giving you peace of mind that your system is operating properly. And if you discover something isn’t functioning correctly during a test, you don’t have to stress. Our service team is ready to assist with getting your emergency phone system back up and running as quickly as possible—minimizing downtime and ensuring your property stays protected.
With Kings III, the support and repairs you need are already built into your plan. Repairs, replacements, regular testing support—it’s all included.
The True Cost of Doing Nothing
When you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the cost of doing nothing—or continuing to rely on patchwork emergency phone setups—is often far higher than many property owners realize. From monthly line charges and one-off service fees to compliance penalties, the costs can quietly erode your bottom line. We’re here to help stop that drain.
We believe emergency communication should be simple, reliable, and cost-effective. That’s why we’ve built our all-inclusive model to address the pain points that property teams face every day. With Kings III, you gain more than a vendor—you gain a partner in safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
