POTS Replacement FAQs

What is a POTS line and why replace it? +
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) are traditional copper telephone lines. Replace them to save 50-90% on monthly costs, eliminate dependence on aging copper infrastructure, and deploy faster with modern wireless technology.
Are cellular POTS replacements certified for life safety systems? +
Yes, our solutions are UL2572 certified for alarm monitoring, ASME A17.1 compliant for elevator phones, and NFPA approved for fire panel connectivity meeting all regulatory requirements.
How long does deployment take? +
Cellular POTS replacements typically deploy in 1-5 days nationwide. Traditional POTS line installation can take 2-8 weeks with no guarantee of copper availability in many areas.
What happens during a power outage? +
All our POTS replacement solutions include battery backup providing 24-72 hours of operation during power outages, exceeding most life safety code requirements.
Can I keep my existing phone number? +
In most cases yes, we can port your existing POTS line phone number to the cellular replacement solution maintaining continuity for alarm monitoring and other systems.
Do these work with my existing alarm/elevator/fire panel? +
Yes, our solutions provide standard analog line connectivity compatible with virtually all alarm panels, elevator phones, and fire systems without equipment modifications.
What if cellular coverage is poor at my location? +
We perform site surveys before deployment to confirm adequate signal strength. If needed, we can install external antennas or recommend hybrid fiber+cellular solutions.
How reliable are cellular POTS replacements compared to copper? +
Modern cellular networks often provide better reliability than aging copper infrastructure subject to weather damage, cable theft, and carrier maintenance neglect.
Can I monitor line status remotely? +
Yes, our cloud management platform provides real-time line status monitoring, usage tracking, and proactive alerting for any connectivity issues across all locations.
What about long-term copper line availability? +
Major carriers are actively decommissioning copper infrastructure. POTS lines are increasingly unavailable for new installations and expensive to maintain, making replacement the strategic long-term solution.
