POTS Line Replacement Technology

Technology Overview

Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) line replacement technology refers to modern solutions that replace traditional copper-based telephone lines, which carriers are phasing out due to high maintenance costs and aging infrastructure. Many critical systems—such as fire alarms, elevator phones, fax machines, security systems, and emergency call boxes—were originally designed to depend on POTS lines. POTS replacement uses digital alternatives, typically leveraging cellular networks, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), or broadband connections to deliver the same dial-tone functionality while improving reliability and reducing costs. These solutions often include built-in battery backup, wireless connectivity, and compatibility with legacy equipment, ensuring systems remain operational during power outages or network interruptions. Because they transmit voice and signaling data over IP or wireless networks, they also support advanced monitoring and management features. By migrating to POTS replacement technology, organizations maintain compliance, ensure continuity for life-safety systems, and modernize their communications infrastructure for the future.
