Hotel POTS Replacement Solutions

POTS stands for Plain Old Telephone Service – the traditional copper-based telephone lines that have been used for decades for voice calls and for connecting analog devices like fax machines, alarms, and lift phones.

These lines are now being phased out globally as networks move to modern, digital, and IP-based technologies.

As copper networks are phased out, hotels face rising costs, increased risk of outages, and potential compliance issues. 14IP’s Hotel POTS Replacement Solution provides a safe, cost-effective, and future-proof alternative that keeps your critical systems operational without disrupting hotel operations.

Our POTS Replacement solution protects guest safety and compliance through built-in redundancy, allows hotels to keep using existing analog devices without costly replacements, and simplifies operations by centralising multiple lines and providers.

Protect Guest Safety & Compliance

Hotels cannot risk service interruptions on safety-critical lines.

14IP ensures:

• Continuous connectivity for emergency phones
• Reliable alarm and lift signalling
• Automatic backup if the hotel’s Internet connection fails
• Optional battery backup for power outages

Your life-safety systems stay live, compliant, and fully functional.

Reduce Rising Operating Costs

The cost of supporting copper lines increases each year as carriers wind down their networks. Those rising expenses are now being passed directly to hotels. Switching to 14IP’s POTS Replacement:

• Cuts dependency on expensive copper lines
• Reduces monthly telecom spend
• Simplifies infrastructure across multiple properties
• Eliminates the risk of sudden service withdrawal

Ideal for ownership groups and management companies looking to reduce portfolio-wide telecom costs.

A Simple, Low-Disruption Hotel Migration

1. Easy Installation
   A small on-site appliance connects to your existing network and your analog devices. No room-by-room work. No guest disruption
2. Modern Connectivity
   Under normal conditions, calls and signalling run over your hotel’s secure, cloud-based voice connection.
3. Automatic Failover
   If your Internet connection goes down, the system instantly switches to a mobile backup network – ensuring emergency calls still complete.
4. Power-Failure Protection
   Optional battery backup keeps emergency devices running for hours even during outages.
5. Fully Managed Monitoring
   14IP proactively monitors and supports the service, ensuring your critical systems stay online.
