POTS Line Replacement

Replace the copper. Keep the business running.

AReS 2 is a managed LTE replacement for the copper lines that feed your alarms, elevators, fax, emergency phones, and POS backup. The carriers are retiring the network. We move you off it without touching the equipment that already works.

  • Keeps the equipment you already trust
  • Works without your internet connection
  • Designed for life-safety and compliance
  • Single point of contact through go-live

The deadline

Copper is being decommissioned and the FCC has cleared the runway.

In 2025 and 2026 the FCC streamlined the rules carriers use to retire copper, removing notice filings and shortening the path to discontinuance. AT&T has publicly committed to retiring most of its copper network by the end of 2029, and POTS pricing is climbing in the meantime. Acting before a 30-day notice arrives turns a fire drill into a project.

Why AReS 2

A managed line, not a science project.

The hardware, the connectivity, the certifications, and the monitoring arrive as one offer. You replace the dial tone, not the alarm panel or the elevator.

Drop-in for what you already run

Alarm panels, elevator phones, fax machines, and POS backup keep their wiring. AReS 2 replaces the dial tone, not the equipment.

Carrier-grade LTE you can rely on

Primary cellular LTE on a major U.S. carrier, with optional MultiPath redundancy and dual-SIM coverage across AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular.

Battery, monitoring, and alerts

Built-in battery backup, remote monitoring, and proactive alerts so a quiet line never becomes a silent failure.

Where it fits

The systems quietly running on copper today.

Any line a technician installed years ago and nobody has thought about since. These are the lines AReS 2 was built to replace.

Alarm systems

Elevators

Fax lines

Emergency phones

POS backup

Entry systems
