Why Property Managers Need atlantech|POTS for Critical Phone Lines

Discover how this innovative solution can safeguard your essential communication services.

What is atlantech|POTS?

atlantech|POTS is a revolutionary product that provides reliable and cost-effective phone service for critical phone lines. POTS stands for Plain Old Telephone Service, which is the traditional analog voice service that many property owners and managers still use for their elevators, fire alarm systems, security systems, and other essential communication devices. These systems are critical for building operations and tenant safety. Why policy makers did not take this into account when authorizing the abandonment of the POTS network is a question for another time. 

As a result, POTS lines are becoming obsolete, expensive and are no longer maintained properly, and phone companies such as Verizon are phasing out their copper networks. This results in a big problem for property managers and building owners. atlantech|POTS solves this problem by converting your analog signals to digital signals and transmitting them over a secure and redundant network, with backup power and cellular connectivity. Here are the top three reasons why property owners and managers need atlantech|POTS for their critical phone lines.
