POTS Lines Are Going Away – Are You Ready? 

Come September, traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines will no longer be supported by Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). That means your critical systems are at risk of going down if you haven’t planned ahead.

If your business still relies on analog lines for:

📠 Fax machines

🚪 Security and fire alarm panels

🛗 Elevator emergency phones

🚪 Access control systems

🧯Sprinkler systems

📞 Back-up voice lines or call boxes

…it’s time to act now, not later.

🔌 Most companies are moving to POTS-over-LTE or other IP-based solutions that maintain compliance, lower costs, and keep legacy equipment online without disruption.

At AIS, we’re actively helping businesses modernize these legacy services without overhauling their entire infrastructure. If you're unsure what to do next — or don’t even know how many POTS lines you still have — we can help you inventory, plan, and upgrade before it's too late.

📅 September is coming fast. Let’s make sure you’re not left behind.
