POTS Replacement

    Analog Upgrades for Your Communications Infrastructure

    The Challenge: Copper Lines are Going Away

    Copper phone lines that support Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) are subject to ongoing price increases and are actively in the process of being decommissioned nationwide.

    Copper lines are simply too costly to maintain in a modern business world. These costs get passed to YOU.

    The Solution: Digital Business Line

    Transitioning away from traditional copper line systems can present unique challenges for your communications infrastructure. Fusion Connect is here to make that process easy!

    Analog Fire, Elevator, and Security Alarms

    Legacy elevator, security, and fire alarms generally use POTS lines to deliver a stable and reliable connection. To conform to NFPA 72-standards, next generation communications systems require a redundant power source with a minimum of 24 hours of power.
