POTS Replacement Support

On‑Site Installation, Maintenance & Technical Assistance for POTS Replacement Hardware

Traditional landlines (POTS) are being discontinued nationwide as carriers retire copper networks and shift to digital and wireless technologies. While Telacy Communications does not sell or provide POTS replacement services, we do support businesses and MSPs with the installation, maintenance, testing, and on‑site technical work required when transitioning away from analog lines.

If your business or MSP is deploying a POTS replacement solution, Telacy provides the field technician support needed to ensure the new hardware is installed correctly and fully integrated with your existing systems.

Why Landlines Are Being Discontinued

Carriers across the U.S. are phasing out POTS due to:

  • Copper network retirement

  • Rising maintenance costs

  • Reduced regulatory requirements

  • Migration to digital and wireless networks

This shift impacts many systems that still rely on analog lines — and often requires on‑site work to keep them operational.

What Systems are Affected?

Many essential systems still depend on POTS landlines, including:

Life Safety & Security
  • Alarm panels

  • Fire systems

  • Elevator phones

  • Emergency call boxes

Business Operations
  • Fax lines

  • Credit card terminals

  • PBX trunks

  • Modem‑based systems

  • Gate/door access systems
