So why is POTS replacement so important?
POTS stands for plain old telephone service, based on analog technology and copper wire network. POTSolve is a versatile software-driven dialing system which allows organizations to continue to use already installed equipment by replacing the POTS signal to the application and in most cases allows the company to save on monthly costs, with better reliability, and quicker repair.
Plain Old Telephone lines were introduced in 1876. This analog telecommunication was the standard until 1988 and is still used currently, but all the major telephone providers have initiated their phase out strategy. The FCC has issued Order 10-72A1 that mandates that all POTS lines in the US be replaced with an alternative service – such as fiber or wireless connections – by August 2, 2022.
Many companies still rely on this POTS technology. It still being used to for life saving emergency communications that run natively on these analog lines to include: Fire Alarms, Elevators, Phone lines, Security Systems and more. Our POTSolve solution provides TRUE dial tone and is a simple replacement for your current setup.
How POTSolve Works
Standard POTS application
For your basic needs such as Fax or Overhead PA’s, Just the Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) is needed. We program your phone number directly into our software and then we route your call to its destination for you. This simply needs power and Internet, which the POTSolve Bundle can assist with.
Life safety POTS application
For your more complex and life safety use cases such as Fire Alarms and Elevators, we build the ATA into an enclosure complete with a battery for backup purposes and an LTE router for constant connection. We simply connect our RJ21X, via 66-telco block, to your existing system and provision your ATA for your specific use cases.
All of these lines can be managed in our portal and supported by CSG and our Managed Services offerings.
