Copper Retirement

Copper retirement is the withdrawal of a carrier's copper network facilities from service, together with the analog telephone services delivered over them, under the FCC's notice and service-discontinuance framework.

POTS Line Replacement

POTS line replacement is the migration of an analog copper telephone line to a managed cellular or IP connection using an on-site appliance that reproduces the analog interface, so the connected equipment continues to operate without being replaced.

Life-Safety Communications

Life-safety communications are the circuits a building relies on in an emergency — fire alarm reporting, elevator emergency telephones, area-of-refuge stations, and emergency call boxes — where a failure is a safety event rather than an inconvenience.

Legacy Analog Line Migration

Legacy analog line migration is the process of moving non-voice analog equipment — fax machines, dial-up modems, point-of-sale terminals, ATMs, and telemetry devices — off copper lines while keeping the equipment itself in service.

Internet Resilience

Internet resilience is a site's ability to stay connected through the failure of its primary circuit or its utility power, using an independent secondary path and backup power.
