Many campus safety and building systems still rely on POTS lines, including fire alarm panels, elevator phones, blue light phones, and building entry systems. As carrier support for copper lines declines, colleges and universities often first encounter the impact during inspections, outages, or contract renewals. Watch this webinar to learn how campuses are navigating the transition.

As copper POTS lines disappear nationwide, the reliability of critical emergency devices is at growing risk. Discover how modern replacements can strengthen safety systems, simplify infrastructure, and keep you compliant.

For years, POTS lines have been considered the standard for reliability, especially for mission-critical systems such as fire alarms, elevators, and emergency phones. But with the copper network being phased out, relying on POTS lines is no longer as safe or dependable as many think. Aging infrastructure, rising costs, and increasing compliance requirements are turning these once-trusted lines into potential liabilities. This webinar will provide a clear look at the facts, the risks, and the options for moving forward.

Did you know that copper-wire POTS lines could be putting the safety of your staff and visitors at risk? Critical life safety devices still heavily rely on these lines and require a stable connection to remain functional and compliant, including emergency devices such as elevator phones, building entry systems, alarm panels and emergency phones. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to maintain safety and stay compliant with POTS replacement.

The FCC has removed price caps on POTS lines, leaving carriers free to take full advantage and significantly increase rates. This webinar is ideal for any organization looking to keep their devices connected, remain compliant, and reduce phone costs.

Are you concerned about the costs and reliability of your copper POTS lines? View this webinar to learn more about how to reduce costs with POTS replacement and ensure that these lines remain reliable and compliant.

There’s a new urgency to replace obsolete POTS lines with a solution that enables hospitals and healthcare organizations to keep using their existing critical emergency devices. According to a new survey, almost 90% of enterprises are swiftly migrating to reduce liability, ensure compliance, and cut costs. Those that start planning now can avoid the rush to the finish line that’s likely to occur when POTS lines are decommissioned. Join us for our webinar with Healthcare Innovation as we explore the findings from this survey in-depth and show you how to cross the finish line faster in the race to replace POTS lines.

This short video highlights the core features that set Ooma AirDial apart as a POTS line replacement solution, including MultiPath LTE and ethernet connectivity, MFVN compliance, remote device management, and support for essential systems like fire alarms and elevator phones.

Discover how to stay ahead of the curve and seamlessly transition from obsolete POTS lines by joining our webinar, where we’ll reveal key survey insights and strategies for crossing the finish line faster in the race to replace POTS lines.

In this podcast, Clinton Fitch from Ooma discusses a survey revealing that 90% of enterprises are actively moving towards POTS replacement, while 10% have yet to start. As traditional POTS lines phase out, companies face challenges meeting regulatory requirements, especially for life-safety systems like fire alarms and elevator phones. Ooma AirDial offers a compliant and integrated solution for these needs, providing essential notifications and maintaining connectivity. Clinton emphasizes the urgency of migration and suggests auditing phone lines as a first step in the process.

How do colleges and universities prepare for long-term growth, provide a safe environment for all students and staff, and reduce costs? The answer lies in their copper lines and the life safety devices that they support. Watch this webinar and we will show you how to navigate both.

With copper lines being shut down and costs rising, many organizations are facing urgent decisions about their infrastructure. This video explores what’s driving the change and how Ooma AirDial offers a reliable path forward for critical systems.

There is one overhead expense that has been lingering over you for years. If you checked your phone bill recently, you’ll see that it has skyrocketed and is eating into your margins. How do you reclaim these profits?

As copper POTS lines are phased out, businesses face escalating costs and growing reliability risks for critical life-safety systems like elevator phones, fire alarm panels, and alarm lines. In this webinar, Ooma’s Senior VP of Corporate Development, Chris Burgy, explains the FCC-driven decommissioning of legacy networks and the financial and compliance impacts for organizations that delay migration. He outlines practical steps for auditing existing lines, selecting compliant POTS replacement solutions, and ensuring seamless transitions with minimal downtime. The session highlights Ooma AirDial, a secure, cloud-managed alternative designed for reliability, code compliance, and long-term cost savings.

The cost of maintaining POTS lines for critical devices is rising fast. With carriers cutting support and the FCC stepping back, businesses face higher rates, poor reliability, and growing compliance risks. Many emergency systems—like fire alarms, elevator phones, and entry systems—still depend on these outdated lines that are long overdue for replacement.

This conversation explores the “sunset” of copper POTS networks and its impact on businesses. Chris Burgy of Ooma explains how FCC forbearance lets carriers retire lines at their discretion and raise rates, creating urgency—especially for specialty and life-safety devices that still depend on analog connectivity. He outlines Ooma AirDial: an end-to-end, cloud-managed replacement that supports cellular and wireline paths, battery backup, private carrier interconnects, and compliance standards (NFPA 72, UL 864, ASME A17). AirDial aims to lower costs, increase reliability, and simplify deployment versus piecemeal ATAs.

It’s easy to look at your company’s legacy analog phone expenses as just another cost of doing business. But did you know that this may be costing you millions of dollars each year? It’s all those copper lines hiding in your wiring closet that create a monstrous mess that can eat into your margins.

As the FCC lets carriers retire POTS lines, costs are spiking and reliability is collapsing. In this discussion, T-Mobile’s Sam Aldridge and Ooma’s Chris Burgy explain what the “copper sunset” means for your business — and how modern POTS replacement can protect elevator phones, fire alarms, and critical infrastructure. Learn how Ooma AirDial is keeping essential devices connected, compliant, and secure while cutting costs.
