Got POTS? You need EPIK

Today, copper telephone lines that support POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) are an aging infrastructure that is deteriorating rapidly. The FCC and major telephone providers like AT&T have already started phasing out their support of analog POTS lines, pushing customers to fiber or wireless connections. Over the next few years, POTS will only get more expensive and offer fewer options. So what should companies do? What about applications that run natively better on analog lines, like security alarms, gate systems, and FAX lines? What do you do when POTS goes away? You need Epik!

Cost-effective POTS replacement –

Businesses are gradually moving to unified communication (UC) solutions but these services do not work well with thousands of ‘analog era’ devices. As POTS lines are phased out, the EPIK™ BOX is a cost-effective POTS replacement solution to keep your business moving forward. 

Greater redundancy – 

The EPIK™ BOX runs on an internet connection or 4G LTE so you also have greater redundancy and failover.
