Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), or analog phone lines, are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Carriers across the country are actively decommissioning copper infrastructure—and in many cases, they’ve already stopped servicing POTS lines altogether. With the FCC no longer requiring providers to offer or maintain these services, businesses that still rely on POTS are on borrowed time.
Yet thousands of organizations continue to use POTS to support critical systems like:
Fire and burglar alarms
Elevator emergency phones
Fax machines
Point-of-sale (POS) terminals
This is especially common in higher education, the public sector, and regulated industries where reliability and safety are non-negotiable.
The Future Is Digital
The second half of 2025 brings a renewed focus on POTS replacement—a category that includes LTE-based wireless systems, VoIP, and fiber-based solutions. These modern technologies:
Support legacy analog equipment
They are more reliable and cost-effective
Include features like battery backup and E911 compliance
Meet life safety standards and prioritize call quality (QoS)
What’s at Stake?
Delaying the transition risks more than service disruption—it could compromise safety and compliance.
