How it Connects
The Technology
POTS Replacement
Converting legacy landlines to next generation wireless technology
IMPENDING DISCONTINUATION OF LANDLINE SERVICE
Telephone companies will soon be retiring all copper-based communication lines. The FCC has granted a forbearance request that removes the obligation from all telephone companies that service analog lines by August 2nd, 2022.
COST OF TRADITIONAL LANDLINE SERVICE CONTINUES TO RISE
As the cost to service traditional copper landline infrastructure continues to rise, Telephone companies are passing this increased cost on to their customers, incentivizing them to convert to less expensive next generation technology.
VoIP SOLUTIONS DO NOT EFFECTIVELY SOLVE CERTAIN ANALOG APPLICATIONS
Certain applications including security alarms, gate access and fax lines have historically run more effectively on legacy analog lines. Unfortunately Unified Communications solutions do not work well with thousands of these analog devices. Our products solve for this major issue, ensuring your business stays current.
