The end of POTS isn’t a catastrophic event. You can help your customers transition to next-generation communications with service from NUSO.
If you rely on a landline for your business, you´re not alone. Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) still use some form of Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS).
POTS is a circuit-switched telephone network. It relies on a single piece of technology, the telephone line. POTS has been around since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, but its days are numbered. Digital telephony is replacing POTS and it’s important to know what this means for your business telecommunications needs.
The FCC released a Report & Order (R&O), Declaratory Ruling, in 2017 that addressed the retirement of landline copper lines and replacement of legacy services with next-generation services, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) by August 2, 2022.
Nearly all of the United States has modernized to digital telephony meaning POTS systems are effectively obsolete and becoming more expensive every day.
