Canadians Can Solve POTS Replacement Woes with Ooma AirDial Canada

Canadians can now solve their POTS replacement woes with Ooma AirDial

Have you heard the news? Bell Canada and TELUS, the two dominant providers of Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) in Canada, have announced plans to decommission their copper phone line networks and have even started retiring traditional home phone lines. That’s right, the copper sunset is in full swing up north.

That means that if you’ve got systems that run on POTS lines, like fire alarm panels, elevator phones, burglar alarms, building entry systems, emergency phones and more, they’re going to become expensive to maintain. You might even have to rip out your whole system and replace it!

There’s better news though, as Ooma AirDial®, Ooma’s turnkey replacement for POTS lines, is now available in Canada. That means you can easily and affordably transition your copper phone line-based systems to a digital solution.

How? It’s simple. AirDial is a fully integrated system that gives you full control from wherever you are. It starts with the AirDial hardware, which is easy to install. Just attach it to any wall or flat surface.

The hardware replaces analog phone service with a digital connection, instantly turning your old copper phone lines into a modern technological marvel. AirDial even has a backup plan to help keep your devices connected—MultiPath technology—by routing traffic via Ethernet networks and wireless LTE simultaneously. If one fails, the other instantly picks up the slack so that your mission-critical devices remain online.

Even better, our secure network will make sure you’re protected. Your traffic never dips into the public internet. This critical feature is different from other POTS replacement solutions that send traffic to the public internet for one or more legs of the path.

One of the most frustrating things about managing copper phone lines and other POTS replacement solutions is the need to go onsite to check their status. If something’s wrong, the only way to find out what’s happening to get in your vehicle and drive on over.

With Ooma AirDial’s Remote Device Management, an IT admin can not only remotely check on devices in real time through a web portal, they can manage and monitor devices located in multiple facilities.

Copper phone lines can be easy to take for granted. They’ve been reliable for a long time, but as providers like Bell and TELUS gradually abandon them, maintaining critical pieces of infrastructure is getting more difficult and more expensive.

AirDial is an affordable, easy way to take action. Your vital services, like elevator phones and fire alarm panels, will stay operational as copper phone lines continue to be decommissioned, allowing you to keep people safe. Read how this resident manager escaped the POTS treadmill and kept condo tenants safe using AirDial.
