What does this mean for Lansing?
When AT&T retires the copper wire center serving Lansing, all POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines lose service. Fire alarm monitoring, elevator emergency phones, security systems, and fax machines that depend on POTS must migrate to a cellular or VoIP replacement before the retirement date.
What are my options?
For Lansing buildings on retiring wire centers, Cellular POTS replacers (like Ooma AirDial) plug into existing RJ-11 jacks and require no rewiring. UL-listed models are compliant for NFPA 72 fire alarm monitoring and ASME A17.1 elevator phones. Pricing typically runs $25-50/line/month with no upfront hardware cost.
Replacing POTS Lines in Lansing
Elevator Emergency Phone
ASME A17.1 requires a live-attendant emergency phone in every cab. When copper retires, that phone goes silent.
See options →Fire Alarm Panel
NFPA 72-compliant fire alarm monitoring depends on a working phone line. Copper retirement puts your panel offline.
See options →Fax Machine
Healthcare and legal faxing depends on analog lines. Digital fax adapters maintain compliance after copper retires.
See options →Security System
Burglar alarms, gate intercoms, and access control systems that dial out over POTS lose their connection when copper retires.
