If your organization has a poor-performing phone service, it can lead to communication breakdowns between employees and with customers.

Additionally, if you have an outdated phone system, you may be paying too much money for a solution that fails to meet your needs. Outdated phone systems may also be incapable of complying with various laws increasing your chances of litigation.

Fortunately, there are many different phone solutions and services available to address these challenges. However, it can be difficult to determine which solution is the best choice for your organization.

Coeo understands how important reliable phone service is and has delivered thousands of phone solutions to organizations to help them save money and improve their phone service and communication as a result.

By the end of this article, you will understand the benefits of using Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS solution and whether it is the best choice for your organization.

The benefits of Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS solution

Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS (link to article) solution can improve your organization’s communication and deliver a variety of other benefits. The benefits of using Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS solution include:

FCC compliant

The FCC ordered a forbearance that went into effect on August 2, 2022, that requires all POTS Lines in the US to be replaced with alternative lines.

This requirement effectively ushered in an end-of-life mandate for traditional copper wire phone systems. As a result, all emergency communication systems still using traditional copper lines must have been replaced by the forbearance date.

Additionally, due to the FCC order, telecommunication carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and other carriers are no longer required to legally provide service for POTS Lines.

As a result, this technology has become obsolete with little to no updates or maintenance being performed on the systems.

Additionally, prices for existing traditional copper wire POTS lines have increased by 75%-200% to encourage the transition away from these products.

Because of this, organizations still using traditional POTS lines are likely paying more for a worse-performing phone service.

To address these issues, organizations are better off migrating to an updated phone solution that improves the performance of the phone service and saves money in the process.

Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS is a reliable alternative that is compliant with the FCC forbearance and will help prevent the consequences of having a copper wire phone system that is not FCC-compliant.

Improved connectivity and flexibility

Unlike traditional POTS services, Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS Lines do not rely on copper wires to make and receive calls. Instead, Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS solution is delivered through multiple WAN connections.

These multiple WAN connections include broadband, WiFi, and cellular enabling you to connect to any of these connections to make and receive calls.

This is an excellent solution for employees working remotely because they can connect their devices from any place that enables these connections. As a result, Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS will provide your organization with greater connectivity and flexibility.

Cost savings

Another benefit of using Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS solution is the cost savings it provides. If your organization still uses a copper wire phone system, it can be very expensive to continue using the service.

Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS phone service enables your organization to reduce expenses compared to a traditional phone system.

Efficient management

Another benefit of using Coeo’s Next-Gen POTS is that it is easy to manage. Our solution has a user-friendly interface that has centralized management tools making it easier to configure and manage the solution.

Our Next-Gen POTS solution enables you to add and remove users set up call routing, and manage call features all from a single interface.
