Your Copper Lines Are Going Away. We’ve Got What’s Next.
Reliable FCC-compliant analog replacements for elevators, alarms, and life-safety systems. No equipment changes required.
TALK TO AN EXPERT
Phone companies are retiring copper infrastructure, and your elevator lines, fire alarms, and emergency systems need new connections fast. Wait too long and you risk service cuts, compliance violations, and life/safety systems that can’t call for help when someone needs it.
DQE’s POTS Replacement provides FCC-compliant alternatives that work with existing equipment. No panel replacements, no recertification, no downtime. We handle installations around your schedule and provide the documentation your building inspector requires. When your safety systems must work, they will.
