Step 1: Bill review and inventory
We thoroughly review your phone bills and inventory all existing POTS lines onsite. This helps categorize each line by cost and use case (e.g., elevator, fax, alarm).
Eliminate Expensive Analog Lines and Ensure Business Continuity
Transitioning from traditional phone company-supplied POTS, or “Plain Old Telephone Service” lines, to modern connectivity options like VoIP and wireless can reduce your costs by up to 70%.
Reliably move devices like alarms, elevators and faxes while maintaining compliance with Affiliated Communications. Affiliated Communications analyzes your POTS lines and then helps you pick the line that is best suited for the price.
We Address Your Price Concerns and Get You the Best Offer
Organizations who come to us for POTS replacement have a few common price concerns:
- Does the line need to be compliant driven, like for security, fire or elevators?
- Does the line need to go over a different medium like LTE/4G/5G for disaster recovery purposes?
- Can the line be analog VoIP?
These are the key differentiating questions to right size/price your analog lines. Affiliated Communications helps to analyze each and every analog line to find a replacement that meets your requirements but lowers your monthly cost.
Get Ahead of the Rising Expenses and Rapid Phase-Outs
POTS lines are the traditional analog phone lines that have connected enterprises for years. Now, these aging copper infrastructures face two threats – rapidly rising expenses and aggressive phase-outs.
As major telecom companies gradually eliminate copper POTS lines in favor of IP phone systems and wireless services, companies relying on analog infrastructure for elevator lines, fax machines and alarms face forced migration on short timelines regardless of readiness. This leaves them scrambling to avoid skyrocketing monthly costs, compliance gaps and the potential disruption of vital capabilities.

Affiliated Communications fully manages the transition from outdated POTS infrastructure to modern voice and data solutions tailored specifically for your technical environment and budget. This enables your organization to:
