3Phase Selects OOMA Airdial for POTs Replacement

3Phase, a leading independent elevator service company maintaining 28,000 elevators nationwide, has selected Ooma, Inc.’s Ooma AirDial® as the exclusive Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) replacement solution to recommend to its customers. According to a press release, 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. Customers were also seeing price hikes as legacy carriers are looking to get out of the business of providing POTS. Ooma AirDial provides turnkey replacement for copper-wire 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.
