POTS line audit and replacement service
Copper line audit and migration for multi-site teams replacing analog alarm, elevator and fax lines.
Why it can work
- Analog service is no longer available from the carrier.
- Elevators, alarm panels and fax depend on these lines.
- Life-safety equipment must keep working after the change.
Watch out
- Replacement vendor choices are hard to compare.
- Many locations make tracing every circuit slow.

The job to be done
Audit and migrate analog copper lines before carrier shutdown
When AT&T no longer offers analog lines for elevators, alarm panels, and fax, an IT or facilities lead needs to find, trace, and move every copper circuit to a supported replacement, so life-safety and elevator equipment keeps working.
