Liberate Your Business from

Outdated Copper POTS Lines

14IP’s Failover Gateway solves the last major problem that has kept most people paying for expensive legacy phone service: the issue of reliability. With this innovative multi-path solution, your business can finally transition from expensive copper phone lines without sacrificing reliability and emergency call completion assurance.

Cut costs and elevate your communications with this streamlined turn-key appliance. 14IP’s Failover Gateway is designed to connect your analog devices to the modern cloud, allowing seamless survivability during local Internet outages so your business can keep handling calls with bundled multi-carrier 4G wireless. Preserve the functionality of vital alarm systems, building access controls, and other devices while enjoying peace of mind with an intelligent, hassle-free solution that saves you money.




How Does it Work?

The 14IP Failover Gateway, as a POTS Replacement solution, plugs easily into your LAN and can provide dial tone from 14IP to the analog equipment. To do this, it utilizes its six built-in FXS ports and your location’s primary Internet.

Whenever there’s an Internet disruption, even during power outages, the gateway’s innovative design allows a built-in 4G multi-carrier wireless link to take over until your primary connection is restored. This is essential for ensuring 911 call completion.

An optional battery-backup power supply provides enough power to allow vital calls to be placed for up to 10 hours, perfect for applications with elevator or doorway phones.
