What are POTS Lines?
POTS stands for plain old telephone service and is what everyone knows as their traditional landline phone system. POTS lines are copper wires connected to a standard telephone that provides the power and connectivity to the telephone service provider’s central switching system and are the traditional analog phone service businesses used for voice, fax, alarm lines, etc.
Why Replace POTS Lines?
Not only are POTS lines outdated, the FCC Order 10-72A1 mandates that all POTS Lines in the US be replaced with an alternative service by August 2, 2022. Telecom companies are now directing investments towards 5G wireless services and maintaining POTS are no longer a focus for carriers. In case that wasn't enough reason to start the replacement process, check these out:
- Copper infrastructure is aging and it’s too costly to maintain and improve.
- Technicians with the necessary experience to support and maintain the lines are older and many are retiring.
- Replacement parts are expensive and difficult to obtain.
