In the ever-changing landscape of technology, certain age-old systems have been steadfastly holding on. Among them is the traditional business landline telephone system, known as POTS. However, as the world shifts, the endurance of these systems is put to the test. We are now witnessing the gradual sunset of POTS, with rising costs and the transition to more advanced and cost-effective communication alternatives. For example, AT&T expects to reduce its copper footprint by 50% by 2025, migrating from legacy technology to next-generation solutions. These changes herald a significant challenge and an opportunity for businesses across the globe that seek to remain competitive.
What Is POTS?
Plain Old Telephone Service, or POTS, is the term for the traditional analog voice-grade telephone service. This technology has been the bedrock of telecommunication via copper wire technology for over a hundred years. Despite its longstanding history, POTS is becoming an endangered species in the telecom ecosystem, paving the way for newer, more efficient technologies.
