With the FCC’s deregulation of traditional landline services (POTS), organizations relying on these legacy copper lines for mission-critical systems—such as fire and security alarms, elevator phones, and other essential safety infrastructure—are facing growing regulatory and operational pressures.
This shift underscores a broader challenge: how to maintain compliance, reliability, and cost-efficiency in an environment where the foundational technology is no longer guaranteed to deliver on any of those fronts.
Forward-thinking organizations are using this moment to reassess their infrastructure strategies. Exploring modern, wireless alternatives that are purpose-built for life-safety and mission-critical applications is becoming less of a choice and more of a necessity.
By proactively planning for the transition away from copper lines, IT and facilities leaders can strengthen operational resilience, improve visibility, and control over their systems, and position their organizations for long-term success in a rapidly evolving communications landscape.
