In today’s ever-changing telecommunications landscape, ensuring reliable fire alarm phones has never been more critical for property managers. Traditional Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) lines, long used for fire alarm communication with monitoring stations, are becoming a thing of the past. The FCC’s deregulation of POTS lines has caused prices to skyrocket, and many telecom providers are actively retiring their copper networks.
If you’re managing fire safety for commercial properties, residential buildings, or HOAs, it’s time to consider a modern, cost-effective alternative: VirtualPBX’s AirDial POTS Replacement Solution. AirDial is designed to ensure uninterrupted communication between your fire alarm systems and monitoring stations, all while meeting the highest safety and compliance standards.
Why AirDial for Fire Alarm Monitoring?
AirDial acts as a direct replacement for traditional POTS lines, replacing them with more secure lines backed by both LTE and ethernet connections. It offers the same analog audio input and output as POTS lines, seamlessly integrating with your existing systems. This means no disruption to your fire safety operations while you transition to a more reliable and affordable solution.
