POTS Digitization

More than analog to digital voice.
Reliable, clear communications for people and things.

Retain your investment in analog devices – and avoid being cut off by service providers’ end-of-life actions.

Making changes in enterprise networks to move from POTS lines over analog T1, copper services by switching to fiber is easy. Figuring out what to do with the multitude of analog devices is not.

That’s where ConnX’s Award Winning POTS Digitization solution comes in.

As part of our solution, we connect to any and every analog device, then convert the analog signal to SIP to transport to PSTN – with no interruption to service – quickly and efficiently.

Millions of businesses around the world still rely on analog, copper wire networks for devices that run on dial tone, including desktop phones, fax machines, key systems, fire alarms, point-of-sale devices and more.

Major carriers continue to sunset support for Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) and will disconnect all landlines by 2025. There is no reason to wait to digitize your POTS connections! The benefits are tremendous, and the ROI is proven with cost savings up to 1/3 compared with expensive fixed analog lines, many of which are often no longer in use but drive up monthly expenses unnecessarily.

ConnX POTS Digitization simplifies the process for our clients, including many Fortune 500 companies, so they no longer rely on outdated, failing infrastructure. Don’t let others scare you: Transforming your analog connections to digital while supporting the same end points is not a “rip and replace” measure when you work with ConnX. Our “integrate to migrate” methodology is tested, straightforward glide path that allows your existing system to coexist while we digitize the copper phone wire, allowing it to work without interruption.

It will continue to work – only better.
You’ll see every end-point thanks to the ConnX platform and know exactly how they are performing – or not.

Telephone lines and other services that rely on the PSTN are being moved to fully digital (IP) networks. It’s not just voice services that will be affected. There will be an impact on some broadband services and lines used for things like alarm monitoring, access control and other systems.
