In recent years, the telecommunications landscape has been evolving rapidly. One significant change impacting industries that rely on emergency communication systems is the phase-out of POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. As traditional copper-based phone lines are being retired, businesses and building owners are facing the challenge of finding reliable alternatives for critical communication needs, such as emergency phones in elevators, areas of rescue, and pool phones.
At Bongo Technologies, we offer a cutting-edge solution that ensures your emergency communication systems remain operational while meeting regulatory standards. With our cellular POTS replacement, you can stay ahead of the curve and enjoy a number of benefits that save you money, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance reliability. Here’s why making the switch to cellular POTS lines is not just smart—it’s necessary.
1. The Discontinuation of POTS Lines: What You Need to Know
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made it clear that traditional POTS lines will be phased out by 2025. This decision has been driven by the increasing costs of maintaining outdated copper-wire infrastructure and the growing demand for more reliable, flexible solutions. For businesses relying on POTS lines for emergency communication in elevators, rescue areas, or poolside phones, this change presents a major challenge.
With copper lines on the way out, building owners and facility managers must find a new way to ensure their emergency communication systems are up and running. And that’s where cellular POTS replacement from Bongo Technologies comes in.
2. Why Switch to Cellular POTS Lines?
Here are a few compelling reasons why upgrading to cellular emergency phone lines is the right decision for your business:
A Code-Compliant Solution
When it comes to emergency phones in critical areas like elevators or rescue zones, code compliance is non-negotiable. Bongo Technologies’ cellular solutions are fully code-compliant, ensuring that your emergency communication systems adhere to the latest safety and regulatory standards. Whether you’re updating an existing system or building a new one, our product ensures you remain compliant with local laws and regulations, giving you peace of mind.
Reliability with FirstNet Cellular Service
One of the most important aspects of an emergency communication system is reliability. In the past, POTS lines were known for their stability—but that’s no longer the case. Cellular networks, particularly FirstNet cellular service, provide a more reliable and secure communication channel. FirstNet, built for first responders, ensures priority service, even during times of high traffic, making it the ideal solution for mission-critical applications like emergency phones. With Bongo Technologies’ POTS replacement solution, your elevator, area of rescue, and pool phones will have consistent, high-quality cellular service, reducing the risk of dropped calls and missed emergency alerts.
Cost Savings for Your Business
Maintaining traditional POTS lines can be expensive. Between installation fees, ongoing service costs, and the maintenance of outdated copper wiring, POTS lines can quickly become a financial burden. In contrast, Bongo Technologies’ cellular solutions are not only more affordable to install but also come with lower ongoing costs. By switching to cellular, you can eliminate the high costs associated with maintaining legacy phone lines, while also saving money on equipment upgrades and repairs.
