Overview
What is the 90X5 Modular POTS IN A BOX®?
The 90X5 Modular POTS IN A BOX® is a 5G RedCap POTS IN A BOX® appliance that replaces analog copper telephone lines. It presents standard RJ-11 FXS ports locally, so existing analog equipment keeps operating unchanged while the line itself moves to a managed cellular connection. Modular POTS IN A BOX® / Business Gateway Platform
Approved for use on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile US, AT&T FirstNet, Bell Canada, UScellular, Webbing.

Verifiable credentials
90X5 certifications, listings, and approvals
Each record below covers this specific model, grouped by what kind of credential it actually is — a third-party certification is not the same claim as a listing, a carrier approval, a manufacturer attestation, or an independent test engagement. Where an identifier is shown it is the one issued by the organization named, so the claim can be checked against their own record. Where it reads “identifier not published”, the record is confirmed by DataRemote's records but its identifier has not yet been published here.
Why certifications are listed per module. The 90X5 is modular, and most of its certifications attach to an individual module — the Cellular WWAN, Core Router / ATA, or Power / Battery module — rather than to the appliance as a whole. That is deliberate: a module can be revised or replaced without re-certifying the rest of the platform.

A certification applies to the models and configurations named in the issuing organization's record. It does not by itself make any particular installation compliant — that depends on the applicable code edition, the configuration, and the authority having jurisdiction.
