Legacy copper-wire phone lines, also known as plain old
telephone service or POTS, are being rapidly phased out by
telecommunications providers. This creates a significant challenge
for safety devices and business-critical systems that require a
POTS line – ranging from fire alarm panels to elevator phones, fax
machines, public safety phones, building access systems and more –
that often can’t be migrated to voice over internet, or VoIP,
service.
Ooma AirDial (https://www.ooma.com/airdial) provides turnkey
replacement for POTS lines by combining the AirDial base station
with virtual analog phone service from Ooma and a data connection
through a nationwide wireless network.
Affordable and simple to install, Ooma AirDial is now also easy
to manage through the new Ooma Remote Device Manager, or RDM, web
portal.
Anyone involved in an AirDial deployment – IT teams, property
managers, telecom supervisors, etc. – can access the RDM portal
anywhere at any time to view the status of AirDial devices. The RDM
can be customized to display key data – either in list view or
device detail view – such as in-service status, wireless signal
strength and the health of the backup battery.
The RDM can also be set to send automatic notifications, by text
or email, to multiple users whenever there are events such as an
AirDial device going out of service or having a low battery. What’s
more, IT consultants managing AirDial installations for multiple
customers can monitor devices across all of their accounts and even
control billing and selection of service plans.
Brickpoint Properties, a residential and commercial property
management company in Stoneham, Mass., replaced costly and
unreliable POTS lines with Ooma AirDial for applications including
elevator phones, building lobby annunciator panels, boiler room
water temperature alarms and swimming pool emergency phones.
“The Ooma Remote Device Manager really helps me stay on top of
what’s happening with AirDial units at five Brickpoint locations
without having to send anyone on my team to the site,” said Matthew
Shellenberger, CEO of Networking Now in Cambridge, Mass., and the
virtual chief technology officer of Brickpoint. “I get a broad
overview of all of the products and I can then drill down to
specifics of one device or go into details of what’s happening with
just one phone number.”

Although there are still millions of POTS lines remaining in the
United States, industry analysts expect they could disappear
completely within five years. At the same time, service costs are
going up dramatically as providers struggle to support their
remaining POTS infrastructure from a smaller pool of customers.
Ooma commissioned a report from IDC, titled “Impending Copper
Sunset Could Leave Critical Infrastructure in the Dark,” that
explores the problem and gives guidance on finding solutions. The
report is available to download for free at
https://www.ooma.com/idc-report/.
Ooma AirDial is designed from the ground up as a complete POTS
replacement solution, unlike some offerings that only provide
hardware and require the customer to provide service or don’t have
a remote device manager. AirDial’s many features, in addition to
the new RDM, include:
- Up to four analog connections with standard dial tone and full
backwards POTS compatibility
- Options for either an exclusively wireless connection or
failover from a wired broadband connection to wireless
- Backup battery that will maintain service for eight hours or
more during an outage
- LCD display that shows wireless signal strength, battery status
and phone line status
- Heat sink and ventilation for fan-less cooling
- Number porting
- Mounting that can be either vertical (wall) or horizontal
(shelf)
“Since announcing Ooma AirDial on November 1, 2021, we’ve been
inundated with requests from businesses of all sizes, as well as
channel partners, who’ve been waiting for a comprehensive POTS
replacement solution,” said Chris Burgy, vice president of
corporate development at Ooma. “Now we’re taking an important next
step with Ooma Remote Device Manager, which gives our customers
24/7 access to their AirDial units without having to leave their
desks.”
Ooma AirDial will be shown at the Channel Partners Conference
& Expo in Las Vegas on April 11 to 14, in Booth #1931. The
product is available now in the United States only. To learn more,
