Telecom’s Greatest Transition

Navigating the Global Copper Retirement

 

Landlines are becoming obsolete due to their reliance on an aging copper infrastructure, a shortage of technicians as they retire, replacement parts becoming more expensive, and users transitioning to wireless technologies. The FCC order 19-72A1 192a10 from 2019 stated: “We find that the public interest is no longer served by maintaining these legacy regulatory obligations and their associated costs. Rather than a foothold for new entrants in the marketplace, they have become a vice, trapping incumbent LECs into preserving outdated technologies and services at the cost of a slower transition to next-generation networks and services that benefit American consumers and businesses.”

As a result, carriers are implementing significant rate increases to encourage the transition from POTS. In recent years, some carriers have increased their rates 30% – 100%, sometimes even more. This trend is expected to accelerate as carriers continue to invest in newer technologies and phase out support for legacy systems.

Organizations relying on POTS lines face increasing pressure to explore more cost-effective and reliable communication solutions. Velocity’s offering of DataRemote’s POTS IN A BOX® is a comprehensive solution that replaces traditional copper-based POTS lines with reliable, managed VoIP-based analog phone lines. It integrates DataRemote’s hardware and Velocity’s SIPBand network to support various applications, including elevator emergency lines, security alarms, and fax machines. This service ensures seamless, cost-effective communication, making it ideal for sectors needing dependable, modernized telephony solutions.
