The Copper Phone Network Is Going Away
For decades, analog POTS lines — plain old telephone service — were the default for phones, alarms, and elevators. That era is ending. Regulators have cleared the way for carriers to retire their aging copper networks, and the incumbent providers are doing exactly that: raising analog line prices sharply while filing to decommission copper across the country.
The risk isn’t just cost. When the copper serving your building is retired, the life-safety and legacy devices that depend on it still need a dial tone. Planning the transition now — on your schedule — beats scrambling after a disconnect notice arrives.
What Still Runs on POTS
If any of these are in your building, the copper retirement affects you.
Fire Alarm Panels
Alarm communicators that dial out to monitoring over supervised analog lines.
Elevator Phones
Code-required emergency phones in elevator cabs and machine rooms.
Security Alarm Lines
Burglar and intrusion panels that report to central stations over dial-up.
Fax Machines & Modems
Fax lines, credit card terminals, and legacy dial-up equipment.
Gate & Door Entry
Entry boxes and intercoms at gates, doors, and parking garages.
Emergency & Pool Phones
Blue-light call boxes, pool phones, overhead paging, and utility telemetry.
