The copper sunset

Copper is going away. Your critical lines can't.

Regulators cut the runway and carriers raised the price — the copper timeline is now measured in months, not years.

Frequently asked questions

What is POTS line replacement?
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line replacement migrates legacy analog copper phone lines to IP using cellular (5G/LTE) or wired backhaul. DataRemote's POTS IN A BOX® appliances connect your existing analog devices — phones, fax, fire and burglar alarms, elevators — to RJ-11 ports and carry their signals over a managed cellular network, preserving voice, FAX, DTMF and E-911.
Why do I need to replace my copper POTS lines now?
In 2025 the FCC streamlined copper retirement, cutting the shutdown notice period from 180 to 90 days, and AT&T stopped accepting new copper line orders on October 15, 2025. Carriers are raising rates sharply — some POTS lines now exceed $2,700/line/month — and aim to retire copper nationwide by 2029. Replacing now protects life-safety lines and controls cost.
Will my fire alarm, elevator phone and fax still work?
Yes. POTS IN A BOX® preserves the analog behaviors these devices depend on — DTMF signaling, line seizure, supervision, ring-down and FAX — and includes E-911 with geo-location. The appliances are designed specifically for life-safety and mission-critical analog endpoints.
What happens during a power or internet outage?
Each appliance includes an integrated lithium battery (up to 48 hours on the 90X1/90X2) and UPS power output for approved external devices. Automatic cellular failover keeps lines connected even if the primary internet circuit fails, so critical communications stay online.
How are DataRemote devices managed?
All DataRemote devices are managed through Ara, our device management platform for provisioning, monitoring, live diagnostics and troubleshooting — with line-status alerts and a developer API for system integration.
