What does this mean for Put-In-Bay?
When AT&T retires the copper wire center serving Put-In-Bay, 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 Put-In-Bay 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 Put-In-Bay
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.
