Remember the days of dialing up friends on clunky POTS lines? It’s time to say goodbye to the old and embrace the new in telecom solutions. POTS lines include traditional copper-based analog phone service organizations use for voice, elevator phones fax machines, security, fire, and alarm sensor lines to name a few.

For government entities like schools, cities, and counties, transitioning from outdated POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines isn’t just about keeping up with the times—it’s about saving costs, ensuring compliance, and preparing for the future of communications.

POTS Lines are Going Away
Analog phone carriers in the U.S. are no longer required to maintain their networks, guarantee reliability, or keep costs low. This is a result of the recent 19-72 ruling from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) titled “FCC Grants Relief From Outdated, Burdensome Phone Industry Regulations.”

Copper-based carriers are now free to raise costs at will, reduce reliability SLAs, or even discontinue analog service altogether anytime at their discretion.

Why Upgrade from POTS Lines Now?

Let’s face it: relying on traditional POTS lines is like sticking with your flip phone while everyone else is on smartphones. Costs have skyrocketed, and the reliability of these aging systems is becoming less dependable.

That’s why transitioning to modern, internet-based solutions like VoIP and cloud-based services is not just a trend—it’s a smart move for your budget and your operational efficiency.

Navigating Compliance and Safety

In today’s regulatory landscape, compliance isn’t optional—it’s crucial. Whether it’s fire alarms, security systems, or emergency call boxes, ensuring your systems meet UL, NFPA 72, and ASME A17.1B standards is paramount.

Avoiding penalties and downtime due to outdated technology is a clear incentive to make the switch sooner rather than later.
