Modern POTS Replacement Solutions for Critical Voice Services
Modern, reliable voice solutions that replace outdated POTS lines without disruption.
What Is POTS Replacement, and Why It Matters
The copper network is fading. Your business can’t afford to wait.
Traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines are being decommissioned across the country, creating risk for businesses that still rely on them for critical devices like fax machines, alarms, elevators, emergency lines, and point-of-sale systems.
POTS Replacement solutions provide digital alternatives that are more reliable, cost-effective, and easier to manage. At TeleSwitch, we help you evaluate replacement options that maintain compatibility and compliance—with zero vendor pressure.

How Businesses Are Using POTS Replacement Today
Keeping legacy systems operational—on a modern foundation.

The Strategic Value of Expert Guidance
Compliance and continuity start with the correct replacement plan.
Not every POTS Replacement solution supports every device type. Regulations, power failover, E911 support, and device compatibility must be addressed up front to avoid disruption or liability.
That’s why TeleSwitch helps you build a voice modernization roadmap—mapping each analog line to its replacement and selecting providers that meet technical and regulatory needs. We help you get ahead of copper retirement—before it becomes a business risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to keep your business connected—and compliant.
Why are POTS lines being phased out?
Telecom providers are decommissioning copper infrastructure, which is costly to maintain and no longer required by the FCC. Many areas are already seeing service outages or price increases.
What types of devices can be supported by POTS Replacement?
Fax machines, fire alarms, elevator phones, building entry systems, panic buttons, and emergency call boxes are common examples.
Does POTS Replacement require internet access?
Many solutions work over broadband, but LTE-enabled models offer backup connectivity or operate independently if needed.
Is it compliant with E911 and life safety requirements?
Yes—but it depends on the solution. We help you select options that meet E911, UL, NFPA, and local safety standards.
What happens if we don’t replace our POTS lines?
As copper services continue to shut down, businesses face service interruptions, compliance risks, and rising costs for unsupported infrastructure.
