Copper lines are phasing out – making legacy infrastructure more expensive and harder to maintain. Discover how your business can implement a reliable POTS replacement to avoid outages, fines, and rising bills.
Your elevator stalls, the fire alarm fails inspection, the security gate won’t open – and the bill is ten times higher than last month. For businesses that haven’t modernized their analog systems, this is no longer fiction. It’s a growing reality – but the good news is, there’s a smarter way forward.
Copper lines are disappearing, and thousands of businesses across the USA are scrambling to find compliant, cost-effective replacements for mission-critical analog systems, as major carriers phase out traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. This surge in modernizing legacy systems is reshaping how companies protect their critical operations.
The Risks of Staying on Copper: What You Need to Know
Legacy systems relying on analog connectivity – fire or burglar alarms, elevator phones, security gates or access systems, fax machines, panic buttons, out-of-band management modems, or other critical systems – are at serious risk of service disruption, rising monthly costs, and compliance violations (like failing NFPA 72 or HIPAA standards).
The U.S. telecom infrastructure is going through a major shift. Copper-based POTS lines are expensive to maintain, and carriers are phasing them out rapidly. Some have already stopped offering support altogether. In this context, more and more companies are considering an upgrade to ensure continuity, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
If your business still depends on copper, you’re not just behind the curve – you could be exposing your operations to outages, safety liabilities, and regulatory fines.
