Your POTS Lines Are Being Discontinued. Here's What's at Stake.

Traditional copper phone lines — known as POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines — are being retired by carriers across the country as part of an industry-wide shift away from aging analog infrastructure, often called the "copper sunset".

For most businesses, this means costs are rising fast — sometimes dramatically and without warning. But for buildings with fire alarms, elevator phones, security systems, fax machines, or emergency phones still running on those analog lines, it also means real compliance and safety risk.

If you haven't started planning to replace your POTS lines, now is the time.

AirDial is the straightforward POTS line replacement solution. It keeps your critical systems connected and your building protected, using the equipment you already have — while bringing your building into compliance with modern standards.

Fire Alarm Panels

Fire alarm systems require a reliable phone connection to reach monitoring stations — and most still rely on dedicated POTS lines. AirDial replaces those fire alarm phone lines while supporting fire safety compliance standards, with certifications from recognized authorities including NFPA, Cal Fire, and the FDNY.

The Copper Sunset Is Already Happening

Carriers have already begun disconnecting analog lines in many markets, and rate increases of 300–500% are being reported in areas where copper service is being wound down. For buildings with life-safety systems on those lines, the risk isn't just financial — it's regulatory.

FCC Update: Copper Line Retirement Is Accelerating

As of March 26, 2026, the FCC streamlined the process for retiring copper phone lines, reducing notice periods and removing public review requirements. Organizations still relying on POTS lines for alarms, elevators, and life-safety systems may have less time to act than expected.
