POTS IN A BOX®

POTS IN A BOX® is DataRemote's family of enterprise 5G/LTE appliances that replace analog copper POTS lines. Each appliance connects to your existing phones, fax machines, alarm panels, and elevator lines over RJ-11 ports and carries their signals over a managed cellular network instead of copper — no new equipment or rewiring required.

It depends on line count and network needs. The 90X1 (5G) and 90X2 (LTE) each support 8 lines with up to 48-hour battery backup. The VAB-1 is a plug-and-play 8-line LTE option. The CDS-9090 is a high-capacity 8-line appliance with optional Band 14 for larger or multi-tenant sites. The CDS-9010 is a compact 2-line option for small-business and retail locations.

The 90X1, 90X2 and VAB-1 are UL 864 certified, and the 90X1, 90X2, VAB-1, CDS-9090 and CDS-9010 are listed by the California State Fire Marshal. Certification and listing status is model-specific — each product page publishes the exact records and identifiers for that model. Certification alone does not make an installation compliant: final acceptance depends on the product model, endpoint compatibility, installation, configuration, code edition, and the authority having jurisdiction.

Battery backup varies by model: up to 48 hours on the 90X1 and 90X2, up to 24 hours on the VAB-1 and CDS-9010, and 12 hours on the CDS-9090 — all with graceful shutdown alerts if power isn’t restored in time.

No. POTS IN A BOX® is a drop-in replacement for the copper line itself. Existing analog phones, fax machines, alarm panels, and elevator lines connect the same way they always have — the appliance handles the transition to cellular behind the scenes.

DataRemote is the only platform in independent battlecard comparisons against ATEL, Ooma, Granite Epik, and Inseego to offer 5G cellular, support for multiple MFVNs on one deployment, and a patented UPS power output — with up to 48 hours of battery backup, the longest of any platform compared.
