In life-safety communication, power failure is not a hypothetical scenario. It is an expected condition. Fire panels, elevator emergency phones, and security systems must continue functioning precisely when other infrastructure fails. This is why 24-hour standby capability is not a premium feature — it is a regulatory and operational requirement.

For decades, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) lines formed the backbone of critical voice communication in industries like fire safety, elevators, utilities, and healthcare. These analog lines were once reliable, simple, and universally available. Today, however, the environment has changed dramatically. Carriers are retiring copper networks, maintenance costs are rising, and enterprises are facing shrinking support options. POTS replacement is no longer just a technical necessity — it is beco

Not all LTE or 5G devices are created equal. In POTS replacement projects, one of the most underestimated risks is deploying hardware that lacks proper carrier certification. While uncertified devices may function initially, they introduce long-term instability, compliance challenges, and operational risk.

Many MSPs assume that deploying POTS replacement solutions is complex, requiring specialized training, on-site configuration, and lengthy coordination with UC platforms. In reality, modern POTS replacement architectures are designed to simplify—not complicate—deployment.

One of the most common challenges MSPs face when entering the POTS replacement market is device selection. On the surface, many POTS gateways appear similar: FXS ports, VoIP support, LTE options, and cloud management compatibility. In practice, choosing the wrong device for a given scenario can significantly impact reliability, compliance, and long-term operating costs.

One of the biggest hidden costs in POTS replacement is truck rolls. Devices are often installed in restricted or inconvenient locations, making even basic troubleshooting time-consuming and expensive.
