Why NGAITA and AICTAaaS is the premier solution provider for the POTS Telecommunication Industry
Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) refers to the traditional analog telephone system that has been in use since the late 19th century. It operates over copper wires and was the backbone of voice communication for decades. POTS dates back to 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell introduced the telephone, and it remained the standard for telecommunication until the late 20th century.
Current Status of POTS
- Obsolete: With the rise of digital communication technologies like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and mobile networks, POTS is now considered outdated.
- Expensive to Maintain: Maintaining the aging copper infrastructure is costly and labor-intensive for telecom providers.
- Not Supported by Telcos: Many telecommunications companies are phasing out POTS due to high maintenance costs and the shift toward modern, digital solutions.
- High Costs for Customers: The cost of POTS services has risen significantly, with some businesses paying hundreds of dollars per line per month vs dollars per line per month.
Migration to AI Technology
Customers and businesses are increasingly migrating to AI-powered communication technologies, such as VoIP and cloud-based systems. These modern solutions offer:
- Cost Efficiency: Lower operational costs compared to POTS.
- Advanced Features: Enhanced functionalities like video conferencing, call analytics, and integration with AI tools.
- Scalability: Easier to adapt to growing business needs.
- Reliability: Improved performance and reduced downtime compared to aging copper networks.
The transition from POTS to AI-driven technologies is a significant step toward modernizing communication infrastructure. Are you exploring alternatives to POTS for your needs, if not, you should?
Use Study
A client is still using POTS technology and has 100 - 150 POT lines in multiple locations. POTS on multiple campus locations call boxes, POTS for elevators call boxes, POTS for fax lines, POTS for MITEL PBX(1) location 20 lines, POTS for fire alarm system, POTS for security system. Although this represents a small percentage of their telecommunication services approx. 15%, it is still substantial in terms of cost, lack of efficiencies, possible Risk Management & Compliance violations. The client pays an average of $123. 82 per line x 100 - 150 lines. The client’s minimum monthly spend for POTS lines is $12,382.00-$18,573 per month with 100 old plus technology.
