Ooma, Inc. announced that 3Phase, a leading independent elevator service company maintaining 28,000 elevators nationwide, has selected Ooma AirDial® as the exclusive POTS replacement solution to recommend to its customers.
Ooma AirDial provides turnkey replacement for copper-wire plain old telephone service (POTS) lines used by mission-critical equipment such as fire alarm panels, building entry systems, burglar alarms and industrial controls, in addition to elevator phones. AirDial combines a base station with virtual analog phone service and a data connection through a wireless network, along with online remote management across multiple accounts that reduces expensive on-site visits and lowers incident response time. 3Phase began seeking a POTS replacement solution because, among other reasons, its customers were failing annual elevator inspections when the POTS lines supporting in-car emergency phones were out of service. Legacy carriers, eager to get out of the business of providing POTS, were also shocking customers with huge price hikes.
