What does this mean for Willshire-Wren?
When AT&T retires the copper wire center serving Willshire-Wren, 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 Willshire-Wren 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.
